US EditionCowboys owner Jerry Jones says he has ‘no tumors’ after stage 4 cancer diagnosis
Jones credited an experimental PD-1 immunotherapy drug and multiple surgeries for beating stage 4 melanoma, which has a 50% five-year survival rate with new treatments, experts say.
- On August 13, 2025, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed he was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in June 2010 and credits an experimental trial drug with saving his life.
- On 'America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys', Jones told Netflix camera crews he went to MD Anderson for treatments 'about a dozen years ago.'
- Jones said he underwent four surgeries over the last 10 years: two on his lungs and two on his lymph nodes, and credited a 'miracle... drug called PD-1' for saving his life.
- Despite his health scare, Jones has shown no signs of slowing down during Cowboys training camp and is set to head into another NFL season, holding hope for a Super Bowl return.
- Given a five-year survival rate of 22.5%, Jones' remission highlights advances in immunotherapy, as the Melanoma Research Alliance notes stage 4 melanoma metastasizes to other body parts.
