Tennis icon Martina Navratilova has been identified as having throat and breast cancer.

Breast and throat cancer have both been identified as Martina Navratilova's conditions.
Later this month, the 18-time Grand Slam singles champion, who was previously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, will begin treatment in New York.
Both cancers, according to 66-year-old Navratilova, were discovered in an early stage.
The double whammy is significant, but it can be fixed, and she expressed hope for a successful ending. "I'll fight with everything I've got, but it's going to stink for a while."
Navratilova discovered a swollen lymph node in her neck while competing in the WTA Finals in Fort Worth, Texas, in November.
Following a biopsy, stage 1 throat cancer was discovered.
A lump in her breast was also found during the testing, and it was later determined to be an unrelated malignancy.
Navratilova was scheduled to broadcast from the Tennis Channel studio to cover the Australian Open this month, but she will instead make sporadic remote appearances.
The nine-time Wimbledon singles winner admitted that she felt "helpless" following her cancer diagnosis in 2010, but she made the decision to share the news in order to support other women going through comparable medical issues.
