- Share via
WASHINGTON — Salvadoran President Jose Napoleon Duarte, who has liver cancer, is undergoing “routine” tests this week at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, a hospital spokesman said today.
An operation at Walter Reed last June revealed Duarte, 63, had untreatable liver cancer. However, he has been undergoing chemotherapy since then in El Salvador. The spokesman said Duarte was admitted to the hospital Monday night “and is undergoing routine diagnostic evaluation. They’re just checking him over.” The State Department had no immediate word on whether the U.S. government flew Duarte to Washington for the tests.
