Martina Navratilova Diagnosed with Breast Cancer

by m. Beth Parker on April 7, 2010

Breaking news reports have been confirmed by the tennis great herself. Martina Navratilova, 54 years old, says she was diagnosed with breast cancer in January, following a routine mammogram, which led to a biopsy to determine the lump was a noninvasive cancer called ductal carcinomain situ, or DCIS.

The nine-time Wimbledon tennis champion underwent a lumpectomy in March and will start six weeks of radiation therapy next month.
