"New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy likely has cancer after doctors found a tumor on his kidney, he said Saturday night.
Murphy, 62, plans to undergo surgery in early March to have the tumor removed and is expected to make a full recovery.
"The prognosis is very good and I'm profoundly grateful to my doctors for detecting the tumor early," Murphy said on Twitter.
Doctors found a 3-centimeter wide tumor on Murphy's left kidney during a recent CAT scan, according to his communications director, Mahen Gunaratna. About 90% of such tumors are cancerous, Gunaratna said."
