The McCain campaign is obviously concerned about all the innuendo laden coverage of news that he had a spot removed from his cheek for a biopsy, hence its just released statement from Michael Yardley, Chair of Public Affairs at the Mayo Clinic:

"This morning, as part of his commitment to monitor his dermatological health on a regular basis, Senator John McCain visited the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, for a routine examination. As a precaution, a biopsy was ordered of a very small area on Senator McCain's right cheek. This is a routine minor procedure."
