NEW YORK—Former Montreal Expo all-star catcher Gary Carter has a brain tumour that is likely cancerous.
Doctors performed biopsies on a tumour in Carter’s brain and the hospital said the results show it “appears to be malignant.”
“Once the pathology report is available, which will take several days, we will discuss treatment options with Mr. Carter and his family,” said Doctor Allan H. Friedman said Friday.
The 57-year-old Carter announced last Saturday that an MRI had revealled four small tumours on his brain.
The 11-time all-star Carter was inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003. He played his last game with the Expos in 1992 and batted .262 with 324 homers and 1,225 RBIs in 19 seasons. He helped the New York Mets win the World Series in 1986.
