International Tennis Hall of Famer Martina Navratilova says she has beaten cancer for a second time.
The 18-time Grand Slam singles champion shared the news of her "all clear" in a Twitter post on Monday after receiving a battery of tests at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
"After a day full of tests at Sloan Kettering, I got the all clear!" she wrote. "Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, proton and radiation magicians ... What a relief."
Navratilova, 66, shared in January that she had been diagnosed with Stage 1 breast and throat cancers. In March, she returned to work as a commentator for Tennis Channel, declaring she was in remission.
