ESPN Icon Dick Vitale Says He Got 'Good News' from His Doctor, Updates Cancer Treatment

Legendary ESPN college basketball broadcaster Dick Vitale provided a positive update about his cancer treatment on Wednesday.

Vitale said he received "good news" from his doctor about his bloodwork.

"Just received good news from my oncologist that my bloodwork results were very good," Vitale wrote on social media. "I keep [praying] that the immunotherapy treatments are very effective in wiping out the cancer."

Vitale announced in April that a biopsy confirmed the presence of a melanoma in his lungs and liver cavity that would require him to undergo treatment. The 87-year-old Vitale previously had a separate melanoma, lymphoma, vocal-cord cancer and lymph node cancer.

Vitale also shared a handful of updates over the past few months, including one in May that said that the cancer hadn't spread to his brain.

Vitale appeared on the broadcast for ESPN broadcasts several times throughout the 2025-26 season and was also part of TNT's broadcast crew during the NCAA Tournament. It's unclear what Vitale's plans are for the 2026-27 campaign.
