Biopsy results of US presidential hopeful John McCain`s facial skin reveal that he has survived a close call with cancer.

Doctors recently removed a mole-like skin growth from McCain`s face that had caused concerns over a possible reccurrence of his previous skin cancer, AFP reported.

The mole, which had rapidly developed near his side-burn, was biopsied, but doctors` examinations indicated no return of the disease.
