Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he is “in excellent physical condition” after the publication of his annual medical report revealed he had a malignant tumour removed.
In a post on X on Friday, Netanyahu said that during routine medical monitoring following successful surgery for an enlarged benign prostate, doctors found an early-stage malignant tumour.
Treatment had “removed the problem and left no trace of it”, he added.
Netanyahu said he had requested to delay publication of his health record so it was not released at the height of the US and Israel’s war with Iran, to prevent Tehran from spreading “even more false propaganda against Israel”.
The 76 year-old Israeli leader said he underwent the initial surgery for an enlarged benign prostate in 2024 and has been under routine medical monitoring. “A tiny spot of less than a centimetre” was discovered during the most recent check up.
Damn, I wish it wasn’t early stage, because he is certainly one of the few people who genuinely deserves cancer
prostate is pretty treatable early stages, especially if you get regular blood test to detect markers for the cancer, at his age he likely is. something like pacreatic unlikely, since it almost always advanced when symptoms show up. prostate is slow enough that most people pass away before the cancer kills them, or is diagnosed with it. aggressive ones are like pancreatic, colon if mestasize, leukemias.
Fitting as he also is a cancer to the world.
Well in that case we need to give him enough chemo and radiation therapy to kill the entire cancer
