Jimmy Carter Tells Church He's Ending Cancer Treatments

The former president announced he had melanoma in August.

Former President Jimmy Carter told a church congregation Sunday that he will be ending cancer treatments as he no longer needs them, NBC News reported.

Carter, 91, underwent treatment with a new drug, Keytruda, and in December he said the cancer disappeared. He said he will continue to be monitored and that he will start with treatments again if a cancer “shows up.”

The former president announced in August that he had a mass removed from his liver, which turned out to be melanoma — a dangerous form of skin cancer.
