Top streamer Ninja has revealed he has been diagnosed with melanoma, a form of skin cancer.
Ninja said a second dark spot on his foot was also being checked, and though "Shocked" he was "Grateful to have hope" that the cancer was found early.
His status as one of the most recognisable names in streaming has also led to him appearing on mainstream programmes, such as The Masked Singer US. In his post on X, Ninja said he found out about the cancer after visiting a dermatologist for an annual check-up of his moles.
According to the NHS website, melanoma is a form of skin cancer that can spread to other parts of the body, and is typically caused by ultraviolet light from the sun.
Surgery is the main treatment, but in cases where the cancer has spread, chemotherapy might also be used.
