Dick Vitale Announces He’s Cancer Free

The holidays really did come early for college basketball legend Dick Vitale — he just revealed the results of Thursday’s medical tests … and he’s “clean of cancer!”

Vitale provided the awesome update on social media … saying he’s considering the news from his doctors an extra-special Christmas gift.

Dickie V documented his entire throat cancer journey leading up to his PET scan … saying he had Dec. 12 circled on his calendar, as that’s when he’d find out if the 30 rounds of radiation since July 2023 worked.

And thankfully, they were a slam dunk!!

Vitale’s comment section was flooded with support … with even the Duke’s men’s basketball team writing, “Awesome Dickie V!!!! You are a warrior and a true inspiration! Love this.”

The news comes after the 85-year-old announced to the world back in 2023 he was dealing with laryngeal cancer — his third bout overall — when tests revealed a mass on his neck. Vitale underwent surgery a few days later to have it removed.
