UC President Janet Napolitano hospitalized during cancer treatment
UC President Janet Napolitano, who was diagnosed with cancer in August, was hospitalized Monday after enduring side effects from her treatment.
Doctors said she is making good progress, and they expect her to be released from the hospital Wednesday, according to a press release issued by the UC Office of the President on Tuesday. Napolitano has kept the UC Board of Regents apprised throughout the duration of her treatment.
“While she is recuperating, UC’s senior leadership will continue to support President Napolitano in the management of the UC system and in advancing the University’s key priorities,” the press release said.
Napolitano has been successfully treated for breast cancer in the past.
