Jill Biden is having Mohs surgery for a skin lesion. What is the procedure like?

The lesion was found during a routine skin cancer examination, and President Biden accompanied her to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where she is having it removed in a routine procedure known as Mohs surgery. During a routine skin cancer screening, a small lesion was found above the First Lady’s right eye. Basal cell carcinomas are the most common type of skin cancer, but they grow slowly, so are typically mild and can be very treatable if detected early. Squamous cell carcinomas are the second-most common types of skin cancer and have rapid growth, but are curable when treated early, the foundation said. The doctor then removes a visible layer of skin tissue from the area and takes it to the lab to be analyzed.

Dutch leader apologizes for the Netherlands' role in slave trade

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte apologized Monday on behalf of his government for the Netherlands' role in slavery and the slave trade, in a speech welcomed by activists as historic but lacking in concrete plans for repair and reparations. Describing how more than 600,000 African men, women and children were shipped, "like cattle" mostly to the former colony of Suriname, by Dutch slave traders, Rutte said that history often is "ugly, painful, and even downright shameful." Peter Dejong / AP / AP Invited guests listened when Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte apologized on behalf of his government for the Netherlands' historical role in slavery and the slave trade at the National Archives in The Hague, Monday, Dec. 19, 2022. Its recommendations included the government's apology and recognition that the slave trade and slavery from the 17th century until abolition "that happened directly or indirectly under Dutch authority were crimes against humanity." The Dutch first became involved in the trans-Atlantic slave trade in the late 1500s and became a major trader in the mid-1600s.
