ATLANTA, March 6 (UPI) -- Former President Jimmy Carter announced his doctors told him he no longer needs to have cancer treatment for malignant melanoma after a recent MRI confirmed he is cancer free.
Carter, 91, made the announcement Sunday at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Ga. People at the church said Emory Winship Cancer Institute doctors gave him the news after an MRI last week. Carter's niece and a representative of the Carter Center confirmed the news.
