FACTBOX - John McCain's health records

(Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain is in good health and has had no recent recurrence of skin cancer, according to medical records released on Friday. Following are highlights of the records:

* McCain has had four malignant melanomas -- a potentially lethal type of skin cancer -- surgically removed since 1993. Three of them were limited to the top layers of the skin and were not invasive. The fourth melanoma was invasive and was removed from his left temple in 2000.

* In the surgery to remove the invasive melanoma, doctors also took out lymph nodes to see if the cancer had spread. The lymph nodes showed no evidence of cancer.

* Doctors have removed other less serious skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell cancers, from McCain's skin without complication.

* As a skin cancer survivor, McCain remains at risk for recurrence or new cancers. He gets a skin exam every three to four months.

* McCain has no evidence of heart or other cardiovascular disease. He takes cholesterol-lowering medicine and has a healthy cholesterol level of 192. His doctor said McCain's levels had risen slightly after he switched medication.

* His resting pulse rate is 88 beats per minute. At 122/78 McCain has borderline-high blood pressure but not at a level that requires where medication. He weighs 163 pounds -- down 6 pounds from a year ago.

* McCain has small kidney stones and a number of benign cysts in both kidneys. Doctors used a laser to break up four bladder stones in 2001. He also had some benign enlarged prostate tissue removed in 2001.

* McCain smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 25 years until he stopped in 1980.
