Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter says he has cancer that has spread to other parts of his body.

Statement from Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter

Recent liver surgery revealed that I have cancer that now is in other parts of my body. I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory Healthcare. A more complete public statement will be made when facts are known, possibly next week.

In March, Mr. Carter had elective surgery at Emory University Hospital to remove a small mass in his liver. At that time the prognosis was said to be "excellent".

Carter, 90, was the 39th U.S. president.
