McCain's biopsy was negative.
McCain's biopsy was negative.

(CNN) - A biopsy on a patch of skin removed from John McCain's temple Monday shows no evidence the Arizona senator has skin cancer, the Mayo clinic announced.

"Senator McCain visited the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, yesterday for a routine check of his dermatological health,”

Michael Yardley, Chair of Public Affairs at the Mayo Clinic, said in a statement issued Tuesday. “The biopsy that was performed did not show any evidence of skin cancer. No further treatment is necessary.”

McCain, who has had four malignant melanomas removed in the past, had a "mole-like" growth lifted from his face during a routine checkup. He told reporters later in the day it was removed only as a precautionary measure.

McCain also told CNN's Larry King Monday night he gets a routine skin checkup every three months, and his doctor often removes small patches of skin to ensure he remains cancer free.

"We do it quite frequently for those of us that were young and had great exposure to the sun," he said. "As you know my dad was in the Navy and we lived in places where I was at the beach a lot, and I'm paying the price for that."

Even though it is good that McCain's skin lesion is negative and that he gets a dermatology evaluation every few months, the fact that melenoma freguently spreads to the lungs, would suggest that a lung scan might be of value before the convention.

The Bu   July 30th, 2008 12:16 am ET

I'm glad Senator McCain is okay, but I really want to know if people really want to vote for a man that every few months is gonna have something removed from his body? Is that what you really want in the White House? WOW! Maybe we are just "dumb Americans" as some of the Europeans call us.

Carl from MI   July 30th, 2008 12:05 am ET

There is NO way this guy would make it 4 years (forget about 8 years!!)of such a busy schedule as POTUS. It's a grueling and demanding schedule... and it's just not Presidential to take a nap in the middle of the day.

Then again, Dubya has taken off the entire month of August for the designated Presidential vacation every year... why not have a designated Presidential naptime too?

In Britain, 4:00pm is designated tea time by the Queen... maybe it should be designated nappie time by the POTUS to. Why not?

Better yet, let's just elect Obama and not worry about his needing a mid-afternoon nappie!

B.D.   July 29th, 2008 11:59 pm ET

I'm an Obama supporter but I'm glad to hear that, wouldn't want anyone to have to deal with something like that.

Maria Loi   July 29th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

It will come back and haunt him again. Cancer is a funny thing, once you had it before it will come back and haunt you again~ I had seen it many times with my siblings~ I think he will win for USA is not ready for a black President? Obama is very smart but too arrogrant! John is an experienced politican but not an experienced leader or commander in chief and top it all the world is going too fast for an older guy to run the show. Bush had left it to all his aides to run the show and you see what he had done to your country. His VP and father wanted that Iraq war and he went along with it, now it is a good idea to give Obama the chance for he seemed very smart and cunning. By the way, John is not a real honest politican for no American politican is honest.
Good luck America!

MD in Oklahoma   July 29th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

I think it's pathetic that people would want to vote him in as president. Why would anyone want him as president when he intends to continue Bush's policies. McCain is sleeping with the enemy, now (big oil compainies) Some people are afraid to vote for Obama simply because he's black; yet, Bush and Cheney. have brought this country to its knees. We have a chance to put in someonein office who is intelligent and sees how corrupt our government has become and wants to change it. The old saying, you get what you pay for. Well, If we get McCain, we will certainly pay...especially for the war!!!

jo   July 29th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

how about forgetfulness can they check that too. He does forget his voting record, what he said yesterday, even sometimes the same day that is more serious issue for Mr mccain.

Good that McPain's results for cancer show Negative
What about his brain being empty.. that must be a Positive.

I'm glad to hear that Senator McCain came out with a clean bill of health.

I'll pray for your continued health along with a resounding defeat for you and your GOP snake cronies.

Evan for Mac   July 29th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

This is a comment for the web sight of another ATTACK which lowers John McCain to a new level once again! What can you do for the country other than whine and complain. Oh and dwell on what Obama does. Can your campaign figure out America is hurting we are tired of the same old tricks!
I have heard lots of flipping on Taxes! Come out and explain. We repub. should be very worried about saying and doing anything! Look at the brand we are working with. Rise above the clutter of trashing and get to whats important!!!!!!!

aliou FL   July 29th, 2008 11:01 pm ET

What really makes CNN talk about this only after Obama also visited a clinic? This is one of the times when I want to cut my cable off. CNN is becoming so guilt filled for covering Obama that they would do anything and say anything to help McCain. McCain has a lot of juicy stories one can report on. Yet Cnn is reduced to be picking on Obama because cnn can't find any negative story on him. so they have to make, fabricate negativity on Obama. What a mess.

The media feel that they need to criticize Obama to be fair and balance. so since they can't find anything unbecoming, they lie. That too needs to be addressed immediately.

They have a choice among the many Mcain worst behaviors and uterings. They can't find anything on Obama, so they turn any positive acts of obama into negative. It is not serving the public, or the country. We do not need to be fed lies.

The majority of women speaking reporters/comentators on cnn, and the men are very negative about Obama, but they are coy about it. Even when they are looking at positive deeds, actions or numbers of Obama, there is always a tendency to find something negative to say about it. They have a way of turning everything positive into negative. Contrast taht with MSNBC: They speak positively of Obama and McCain if and when they need to.

good for him.. Avid Obama supporter but

Ell from Tx   July 29th, 2008 10:52 pm ET

Thank goodness! However with so much negative coming your way its hard to see past the ads of "straight talk"! Then there is yes/no Affirmative Action also where do you really stand on taxes. I feel there is 2 of you. Then your campaign comes out like your crazy for saying what you truly feel You have totally lost me....................Voting DEM 08

Pat   July 29th, 2008 10:51 pm ET

How could his current negative biopsy render him a Good Health Report after having four malignant melanoma tumours removed previously. It is very possible he will have another malignant tumour and also possible the cancer may spread to other areas of his body.
Given those possibilities why would a Nation consider electing a President that may not be able to complete his term due to health problems? A better question, why would a Senator run for President knowing the possibilities of having a reoccurance of a malignant tumour? He is putting his personal aspirations ahead of what is good for his Nation and it's people! His narcisstic priorities are the reason I wouldn't support or consider him for President.

Peter of Oregon   July 29th, 2008 10:51 pm ET

Ted Stevens is a prime example of why good judgement is way more important than experience.

Didn't McCain hold his most recent press conference with an oil company earlier this week? What's the deal with the Republicans and big oil? Bush... McCain... now Stevens?

Kris from AZ   July 29th, 2008 10:50 pm ET

Put aside Republican and Democrat stuff. Coming from a democrat. I am glad to hear MCcain's biopsy is negative. May he live long and healthy.

i know something else that's negative.... his campaign. thought it was supposed to be one of honor? oh well, a long list of flip flops and broken promises. sounds familiar doesn't it?!?!?!?!?!

OBAMA '08 the ONLY answer for our country!!!

Tom   July 29th, 2008 10:30 pm ET

I am very much an Obama supporter and am also very glad to see this result. Godspeed to Mr. McCain in his personal health. He has endured much and worked hard to serve his country.

Martha Hussein Baker for Barack   July 29th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

How could it be anything BUT negative...I personally can't believe anything the republican party says. McCain is too old and sickly to be an effective president. It could easily turn into another Nancy Reagan situation only with Cindy in charge. That's a frightening thought considering her past drug abuse and mental instability.

YES WE CAN

OBAMA "08

Maggie Muggins From Selwyn   July 29th, 2008 10:07 pm ET

It isn't McCain's physical health that is a concern it's his mental health that poses the greatest threat to America and for that matter the world.

aaa   July 29th, 2008 10:05 pm ET

mccain should stop working hard and take off weekends lol mccain please go home we need someone else as republican nomenie

Truthteller   July 29th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

So, and what else is new. The Republican party for the most part is a BIG CANCER in and of itself. Full of liers, thiefs and cheaters. The rig the ballots, tries to dig up any dirt on other people and when the dirt falls on them, it is always an excuse or they clean it up with more lies. Or they make the person that found out the truth about them disappear or gets killed or put in jail or something.

Tell McCain to tell the truth and stop having close door meetings and campaign fund raisers. Let the press and other people in that are nutural to the political arena.

I'm happy for you Senator McCain... now please go and retire.

Lacey   July 29th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

Did anyone expect the GOP to report anything else? If the mole was malignant, the doctors would lie for McCain. John McCain just had surgery in February of this year. That was only 7 months ago. The doctors realize that with McCain's age and history, he is not well.

Jason, Los Angeles   July 29th, 2008 9:30 pm ET

I am certainly happy to hear that McCain is in the clear this time, but am I the only one out here willing to admit that this dude's age and health worry me? My goodness, what if he wins the election? A septuagenarian with spotty health is a huge threat to our national security, our economy, and our world status. The last thing we need is an unexpected interregnum, particularly since we all know McCain is going to drag us into war with Iran. God help us if we put this Republican in office. Things will only get worse.

Don't vote for old people. We can't know their ability to lead in even 2 years, and they don't represent most Americans.

Leah DiMarco, Texas   July 29th, 2008 9:15 pm ET

From a strong Obama supporter, I was glad to hear that Senator McCain was cleared of skin cancer. Before any of my fellow Obamanots make any kind of comment, lets all agree that we may disagree on the issues and I for one look foward to a headted debate with both canidates in good health.

Tony   July 29th, 2008 8:18 pm ET

Good to see that the Senator and hopeful future president has a clean bill of health, cancer-free.

joel palmer   July 29th, 2008 8:18 pm ET

Jusst what we need a craky, cranky old guy who is 100 per cent disabled, suffers from multiple cancers, can't raise his arms over his head and can't tell the difference between Sunnis and Shiites.

Not since Bob Dole have the Republicans run such a lame candidate. It only remains to be seen what kind of self inflicted injury he will cause when he selects a running mate. If he picks Romney, he is toast. In fact unless he resurrects the messiah, he can't win more than about 40% of the vote and these will be the same idiots that elected Bush twice and still think he is doing a terrific job. If this is the best that Republicans can do, Lincoln is doing about 5000 RPM in his grave.

Olivia   July 29th, 2008 8:16 pm ET

Jim   July 29th, 2008 8:15 pm ET

I'm not so worried about McCain's physical health (he seems very fit and healthy); as much as his mental acuity, memory and emotional stability.

His recent negative attacks on Obama have revealed an obsessive/compulsive personality that makes me question his ability to lead our nation. I would not be comfortable with McCain receiving that so-called "3:00 AM phone call."

Ben   July 29th, 2008 8:14 pm ET

They don't remove moles for nothing. He dodged the bullit this time but with 4 melanoma;s in the past, if they ever missed one, he'd be long dead by now.

So I'm sure they cut on him much more aggressively than for most people. Also even for past melanoma patients at high risk, a skin check every 6 months is all many insurance pland will cover (normal people just once a year), but McCain is getting them every 3 months.

Obviously, he has better insurance than most and obviously this is a major threat to his life.

Keep denying the cancer is back until they can deny it no longer; way to go, republicans.

It may behoove John McCain to disclose the truth about his cancer now than to wait for someone to discover it a week or so before the election. I am just saying.

Why is there an ad on CNN's political ticker for Barack Obama? I know this comment will not be posted, but CNN, please do not lose whatever credibility you have left. As I said in an earlier post, you will need to change your name to the OEN ( Obama Election Network.) We are watching, and we have noticed.

Richard   July 29th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

too old !

imagine 4 years of reports like this.. The president' job is extremely stressful. I dont think McCain can handle the stress. Unless he takes weekends off like he is planning.

TRUTH   July 29th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

I would like to remind Senator McCain that victory in Iraq has already been achieved. May 1, 2003, on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, under a banner saying "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED," President Bush announced that combat operations in Iraq have ended. Bush said; "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.

That's good news. Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!!!!!!!

Nancy Pelosi made a mistake this evening introducing Obama as the Democratic nominee. She should know better, she is the chairman of the convention. He may not be. Just look at those polls he is falling and McCain is coming up. Why? Because people are holding out for Hillary and if she is not the nominee or the VP, Obama will NOT win the election. PUMA's Unite!

jake, San Francisco, CA   July 29th, 2008 7:57 pm ET

Funny how Barack is making news while McCain is running after his Health.

Add a year or two to this and imagine how running America would look like should McCain become president.

Example:
G-8 summit meeting: July 2009
Attendants: leaders of all G-8 nations, except president of the US, John S. McCain

Reason of absence: He was removing a mole or he forgot the meeting schedule..... pretty impressive ehn?

maria   July 29th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

He lies about everything why not that? If they ( his doctors and campaign staff) aren't going to say anything to further indicate McCain is old, ill or otherwise UNFIT!

Obama is wowing them in Europe and the Middle East. A king cut his vacation short to meet with Obama. Over 220,000 Germans filled the streets of Berlin to hear Obama speak.

The best McCain can do, on the other hand, is broadcast an ad that misrepresents what Obama did while he was overseas on a trip that McCain pestered him into taking, and also get a clean bill of health for a freckle.

Nice. Very presidential John. Have no no shame at all? Oh yeah. No you don't. If you did, you would apologize to America, and go home.

So John you have to have testing 3 every months.. for how long?.. if you are president even throughout your presidency..??

thats a lot of health concerns for the American people to endure..

I want a healthy, younger, spry and rested president.

today is the 41 anniversary of the tragedy aboard the USS Forrestal. a day where 134 crewmen where killed and another 161 wounded. some reports indicate that John Mccain wet started his Sky Hawk, which led to a series of explosions. the brave men of the USS Forrestal fought for some 20 hrs to contain the blaze. John Mccain was immediately transferred to another ship the USS Oriskany (the only Forrestal crewman to be immediately transferred). A few month later John McCain would get shot down and captured by the Vietcong, he had by his own admission while being a POW gave up Military information to the enemy, garnishing McCain with the nickname…SONGBIRD. in 1973 returning home McCain would soon start having an affair with Cindy Lou, his now second wife. his then current wife Carol, who was a model at one point and the mother of his first children was in a car accident which left her dis figured. Mccain left her to marry Cindy 1 month after the divorce was final…thin ink had not dried. using Cindy's vast fortune McCain got into politics. he had risen from scandals including Keating 5 to reports of an affair with a lobbyist. Now John Mccain wants us to vote for him….i think NOT. i could not in good conscience vote for a man who graduated 894 out of 899, has 59 lobbyist working on his campaign, who will do or say ANYTHING to get a vote, offers NO solution only attacks, has that kind of temper, finds the only answer to a problem is WAR. i know you don't have the guts to post this CNN, but the American people need to know the truth about this man.

edw   July 29th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

So, during his presidency we will be looking for more cancer every three months. I hope he picks a good VP.

1. McCain supported the drilling moratorium; now he’s against it.
2. McCain strongly opposes a windfall-tax on oil company profits. Three weeks earlier, he was perfectly comfortable with the idea.
3. McCain thought Bush’s warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.
4. McCain defended “privatizing” Social Security. Now he says he’s against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)

Nancy   July 29th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

just keepin the client

james, Fort lauderdale   July 29th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

Come on CNN, do you really expext the Mccain to campaign and his doctor to tell us if the biopsy was positive, it might as well be positive , no one has would know, the confidentiality between the clinic and their clients mixed with the political aspect of it will always show good news, nothing to worry about , he's healthy ,
The media should question instead McCain tendancy to forgets things that is a direct reflect of his age.
72 years old is an age to retire not to start a new career, the guy has been collecting social security for more than 8 years now..Let's be real.

Gerry in Virginia   July 29th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

I don't know why he needed a biopsy... With all that negative campaigning he said he WAS NOT going to do (but is now persuing at full speed) his nice face has already fallen off and we now see the real McBush for what he really is....

Bradley In Colorado   July 29th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Truthfully, I strongly dislike McCain as a politician, but am glad that his biopsy came out negative. Don't hold your breath, however; later testing might find it to be malignant.
