John McCain has been treated several times for skin cancer. He was treated for Squamous Cell Carcinoma before the election in 2008. Squamous Cell Carcinoma is a common type of skin cancer and easily treatable type of skin cancer. He has been treated for melanoma, a much more dangerous type of skin cancer, four time. Three of those times, the cancer was found in a very early stage and quickly taken care of. The cancer that caused the most worry was a melanoma on his left cheek that was diagnosed and treated in 2000. It went to a depth of about 2.2 millimeter's, making it a Stage 2 cancer. The cancer did not spread to the lymph nodes and presumably not to any other organ. At this stage, the five year survival rate is about 80%. Seeing as it has been nearly twelve years since he was treated, there is a good chance the melanoma was cured.
