Jill Biden was scheduled to undergo surgery to remove a potentially cancerous lesion above her right eye.

The first lady and President Joe Biden remained at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, as of midafternoon. They had arrived by helicopter at about 8 a.m.

Her office announced a week ago that doctors had discovered the lesion during a recent routine skin cancer screening. She was to have a “common outpatient procedure known as Mohs surgery to remove and definitively examine the tissue,” said Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the president’s physician, in a Jan. 4 memo that the first lady’s office released last week.

Doctors recommended removing the lesion from the 71-year-old first lady “in an abundance of caution,” O'Connor wrote in the memo.said the delicate skin around the eyes is especially vulnerable to damage from the sun's ultraviolet rays.
