Martina Navratilova was diagnosed with double cancers in 2023

Navratilova received treatment for breast cancer in 2010. But in January 2023, the tennis champion announced that she was facing a double cancer diagnosis.

She was diagnosed with both throat and breast cancer. During the WTA Finals in November 2022, she noticed an enlarged lymph node, which a biopsy revealed was stage one throat cancer. During testing, a lump was also found on her breast, which was diagnosed as unrelated breast cancer.

Navratilova underwent treatment for both cancers and recently announced that she is cancer-free. She has been very open about her battle with cancer and has used her experience to raise awareness about the importance of cancer screenings and early detection.

“As far as they know, I’m cancer-free,” Navratilova revealed in a recent interview with Piers Morgan. “I definitely won’t be missing any of my checkups. I will be very, very diligent about it. But the prognosis is excellent.”
