McCain revealed his medical records in May.
He gets regular checkups.
Mr. McCain, who still has a puffy left cheek and a scar down the back of his neck from his surgery, told reporters that he continued to see an oncologist for regular checkups. The most recent visit was this month. "I could probably get away with seeing her every six months," Mr. McCain said, "but just to be on the safe side, I see her every three months." The operation was performed at the Mayo Clinic Scottsdale in Arizona mainly to determine whether a melanoma, a potentially fatal skin cancer, had spread from the left temple to a pivotal lymph node in the neck. A final pathology analysis showed that it had not, Mr. McCain's staff said at the time.
