Sen. John McCain has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, the Arizona lawmaker's office announced on Wednesday.

"On Friday, July 14, Sen. John McCain underwent a procedure to remove a blood clot from above his left eye at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix. Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot," the statement read.

McCain and his family are reviewing treatment options, which could include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.
