White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles Diagnosed With Early-Stage Breast Cancer

Officials project uninterrupted West Wing operations during her care, with the president calling the prognosis excellent.

Overview

President Trump announced the diagnosis on Truth Social on Monday and said Wiles will begin treatment immediately.
Wiles said in a statement to The New York Times that therapy in the Washington area should last a few weeks and that early detection supports a positive outlook.
She told Trump about the diagnosis after learning the news last week and thanked her medical team for identifying the cancer early.
The White House said she will work virtually full-time during treatment and that a medical team has been engaged to avoid disruptions in West Wing operations.
Wiles, 68, has served as chief of staff since January 2025 and continued public duties Monday, including attending a Kennedy Center board meeting at the White House.
