Conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh says he's had a setback in his fight against advanced lung cancer, NBC News reports.

Limbaugh, 69, said recent scans show "some progression of cancer." It's "not dramatic, but it is the wrong direction," he told listeners Monday, according to a transcript posted on his website.

The host said Monday that he has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
