“Presidential spokesman Tony Snow’s surgery to remove a small growth showed that his cancer has returned. … A small growth was discovered last year in his lower right pelvic area, and it was removed on Monday. Doctors determined that it was cancerous, and that his cancer had metastized, or spread, to his liver.”
UPDATE: Snow’s prognosis is reportedly good:
Blood tests and a PET imaging scan had come back negative for cancer.
There are a lot of effective therapies to treat liver cancer that has spread from colon cancer, said FOX News’ Dr. Manny Alvarez.
“It’s small enough that he should go into remission again after adequate treatment,” Alvarez said.
