ATLANTA (AP) — The Carter Center says former President Jimmy Carter has undergone a medical procedure to remove a small mass in his liver, and that he's expected to make a full recovery.

A statement released by Carter's spokeswoman Deanna Congileo described Monday's operation at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta as an elective procedure.

It said the procedure was done without issues, and that the prognosis "is excellent for a full recovery." The Carter Center's statement offered no other details.

Carter was the nation's 39th president. The native of Plains, Georgia, is also a former Georgia governor.

6. May all be well for President Carter.

Jimmy Carter's family has been racked with pancreatic cancer, with his siblings Billy and Ruth dying relatively early from the disease, and his mother Lillian dying from the same at a later age.
It is believed that his father's family was also stricken heavily with pancreatic cancer.

Therefore, it has to have cast a shadow over Jimmy Carter's medical conditions, but he has avoided such problems, thankfully..
