TV Host Told He Has Cancer Live on Air

  • Fox TV news anchor Mike Jerrick discovered this week during a live segment that he has basal cell carcinoma on his right elbow.
  • During a skin check demonstration, dermatologist Dr. Joanna Walker identified a lesion as basal cell carcinoma, noting it is the most frequently diagnosed skin cancer and responds well to treatment.
  • Jerrick expressed surprise at the diagnosis, asking if the spot would be burned off, while Walker said it likely needs to be cut and stitched to prevent growth.
  • Jerrick admitted he didn't initially suspect the lesion was skin cancer and is planned to have it removed on Friday, June 6.
  • This discovery highlights the importance of early skin examinations, as basal cell carcinoma grows slowly and rarely spreads but requires removal to protect healthy skin.
