Tennis great and 18-time Grand Slam singles champion Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with both throat and breast cancer.
Navratilova, who previously had breast cancer in 2010, will start treatment in New York later this month. The 66-year-old revealed that both cancers had been caught at an early stage.
Biopsy revealed stage one throat cancer and, during the tests, a lump was also discovered in her breast, which was later diagnosed as an unrelated cancer.
She had been due to cover this month's Australian Open with media, but will instead make occasional remote appearances.
