Does Katie Couric have breast cancer ? Katie Couric was diagnosed with an early-stage, curable breast cancer in October 2022 after a routine mammogram and breast ultrasound, which she documented on her social media in order to raise awareness for cancer screenings after COVID delayed many people from getting screened.

In a revealing essay, former TODAY co-anchor Katie Couric shared that she was diagnosed with stage 1A breast cancer this summer. Couric underwent a lumpectomy to remove the tumor and learned that her cancer was actually larger than doctors initially suspected. "Thankfully, my lymph nodes were clean," Couric wrote on her blog.

In September, Couric shared that following a mammogram and ultrasound on her breast, the doctor informed her that she had stage 1A cancer. The veteran news anchor revealed that she underwent a lumpectomy, followed by radiation and would have to take medicine for five years.

Couric, who is now married to John Molner, revealed her diagnosis with breast cancer diagnosis in September 2022. At the time, she explained in a personal essay that she learned she had cancer after a madd was found through a mammogram and breast sonogram — another screening method that detects abnormalities in dense breast tissue.
