• • • • • Quick Take President Joe Biden claimed in a July 20 speech that growing up in Delaware near oil refineries gave him cancer. Posts on social media misinterpreted that to mean he currently has cancer. A White House spokesperson said Biden was referring to a skin cancer that was removed before he became president. Full Story On July 20, President Joe Biden In the transcript and live video of the speech, Biden said, “That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up [with] have cancer.” Here is the White House transcript of Biden’s remarks: Biden, July 20: I just lived up the road. I just — in an apartment complex when we moved to Delaware. And just up the road was a little school I went to, Holy Rosary grade school. And because it was a four-lane highway that was accessible, my mother drove us and — rather than us be able to walk. And guess what? The first frost, you knew what was happening. You had to put on your windshield wipers to get, literally, the oil slick off the window. That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up [with] have cancer and why can- — for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation. But that’s the past, and we’re going to get — we’re going to build a different future with one — one with clean energy, good-paying jobs. White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor released a health summary for Biden in November 2021 that confirmed that he had skin cancer that was removed before he became president — though O’Conno...

Biden was able to turn his personal loss into a constructive mission when then President Barack Obama in his 2016 State of the Union Address put him in charge of the Cancer Moonshot Initiative, an effort aimed at advancing cancer research and improve results for patients. The program itself didn’t formally have an early lifespan – Obama left office in January 2017. Yet funding for dozens of projects will continue until 2023. Biden went on to personally keep his involvement in the fight against cancer going after Donald Trump was elected president, forming the Biden Cancer Initiative in 2017 to advance collaboration and writing a book, “Promise Me, Dad” about his son’s battle. Biden halted the Biden Cancer Initiative in mid-2019 when he said he’d run for president. Leading the battle inside of the White House as Moonshot coordinator is Danielle Carnival. The Troy, New York native knows the fight well. After working to promote science education...

In section 8 titled "Skin Cancer Surveillance, routine" under the "Current Health" section, the report states: "It is well-established that President Biden did spend a good deal of time in the sun in his youth. He has had several localized, non-melanoma skin cancer removed with Mohs surgery before he started his presidency. These lesions were completely excised, with clear margins."

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday set Watch Biden’s remarks in the player above. “This can really be an American moment to prove to ourselves and, quite frankly, the world that we can do really big things,” Biden told a crowd of lawmakers, administration officials, researchers and others at the White House. The new push, which comes without any new money, arrives more than 50 years after President Richard Nixon signed the National Cancer Act and launched a war on the disease. The benefits of that act were also seen in areas outside of cancer, such as the vaccines developed to combat the coronavirus. Personal connections to the fight against cancer were evident throughout the White House event. First lady Jill Biden spoke of how the death of Beau from brain cancer in 2015 had “stolen our joy” and “left us broken in our grief.” Vice President Kamala Harris spoke of how her mother’s work as a cancer researcher had helped “save women’s lives.” The American Cancer Society estimates there will be 1,918,030 new cancer cases and 609,360 cancer deaths this year. Biden is essentially aiming to to save more than 300,000 lives annually, which the administration believes is possible because the age-adjusted death rate has already fallen by roughly 25 percent over the past two decades. The cancer death rate is currently 146 per 100,000 people, compared with nearly 200 in 2000. Dr. Otis Brawley, a professor of oncology and epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University and for...

Stefani Reynolds/AFP via Getty Images The results from a biopsy done on a skin lesion removed from President Biden's chest last month confirmed that the growth was basal cell carcinoma – a type of skin cancer that does not tend to spread — White House physician Kevin O'Connor said in a "All cancerous tissue was successfully removed," O'Connor said in his memo, noting that the area around the biopsy site had been treated at the time of Biden's O'Connor said basal cell carcinoma does not metastasize, making it is a "less serious" type of skin cancer than melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma. But basal cell carcinoma can increase in size, making it harder to remove, he said. First lady Jill Biden also had two lesions removed early this year that were
