Bruce Jenner Skin Cancer: Olympian Reveals Battle With Basal Cell Carcinoma

Bruce Jenner has undergone several surgeries to remove skin cancer from his face. However, the former Olympian has never spoken publicly about his bout with cancer until now.

"I was diagnosed with...Basal cell carcinoma and have undergone Mohs surgery to remove it," the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star told E!. "I have been struggling with this for several years and appreciate all of the support and prayers while I continue to fight the battle against skin cancer." 

Jenner said that the operation on his nose was the second such procedure he has undergone this year, previously having cancerous cells removed from his cheek.

Jenner also used the opportunity to give people advice about skin protection and cancer prevention.

"This has taught me to be extra vigilant when out in the sun and I encourage others to get regular checkups and always wear sunscreen," he said.
