A News TV news presenter discovered this week that he had skin cancer during a live television segment.
Mike Jerrick, “Good Day Philadelphia” coanfrerion in News29, transmitted a skin care segment with Dr. Joanna Walker, a dermatologist from the center of Melanoma Tara Miller at the University of Pennsylvania. (See the video at the top of the article).
While arguing the importance of verifying the skin to obtain cancer signs, Walker inspected a place in Jerrick’s right elbow, pronouncing that it was basal cell carcinoma, a common type of skin cancer.

“It has all the characteristics of the most common type of skin cancer, which is also very treatable when it is trapped early,” Walker said in the segment.
Jerrick expressed surprise, asking: “What are you going to do, burn it?”

The dermatologist replied that the cancerous place must probably be “cut and sewn.”
The good news, he said, is that the basal cell is a “type of very slow skin cancer” that is not likely not to spread any other place in the body.
