The 82-year-old Jones then told The Dallas Morning News he was initially diagnosed with melanoma in June 2010 and underwent two surgeries on his lung and two on his lymph nodes over the next 10 years.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has credited an experimental trial drug for successfully treating advanced melanoma as he disclosed his cancer diagnosis publicly for the first time.

Jones made a passing reference in the documentary to undergoing cancer treatments “about a dozen years ago.” Jones confirmed to the Dallas Morning News that he was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in June of 2010 and underwent treatment over the following decade.
