Surgeons removed a cancerous lesion above US first lady Jill Biden’s right eye and one on her chest, the White House said on Wednesday, while a third lesion on her left eyelid was being examined.

Dr Kevin O’Connor, the physician to President Joe Biden, said examinations showed that the lesion over Jill Biden’s right eye and one newly discovered on her chest were both confirmed to be basal cell carcinoma.
