On Tuesday, December 8, 2009, Gumbel revealed that he is being treated for lung cancer. The sportscaster announced the news on "Live! With Regis and Kelly", where he admitted to having surgery to remove a malignant tumor - resulting in the loss of a small piece of his lung.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20325467,00.html

The news came when show host Kelly Ripa asked Gumbel to dance on stage. He declined, leading into the news about his treatment.http://abcnews.go.com/Health/bryant-gumbel-reveals-lung-cancer-battle/story?id=9279746 He had managed to keep the news relatively private, mentioning it mainly to family, and looks forward to "[playing] golf again".http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2009/12/bryant-gumbel-treated-for-lung-cancer/1?loc=interstitialskip
