Streamer Ninja reveal battle with skin cancer: Although Twitch has been a platform for live content creation for many years, as “one of the big boys,” we are aware that it has evolved.
What initially served as a platform for eSports has evolved into the “home” of broadcasters who publish their content every day.
Some “giants” or legends of communication have surfaced during this period. Ibai is one example in Spain, but internationally, one of the first to achieve significant success on Twitch was Fortnite broadcaster Ninja, who became a reference for tens of thousands of viewers due to his extraordinary abilities at the beginning of the Epic Games game.

Ninja discloses that he suffers from skin cancer.
The content creator’s most watched stream received over 600,000 viewers, brightening the days of many people. However, he broke the bad news to many of his followers yesterday by confirming via social media that he is afflicted with skin cancer.
He updated his followers on his situation via Twitter: “All right, I’m still a little stunned, but I wanted to provide you with some updates. I visited a dermatologist a few weeks ago for an annual skin/mole examination that Jess had arranged in advance. For precautionary purposes, they desired to remove the mole from the underside of my foot.
“Although we diagnosed it as melanoma, we are optimistic that we detected it early on.” The doctors biopsied the neighboring dark spot and excised a larger region around the melanoma in hopes of seeing clear, non-melanoma borders under a microscope, confirming that they had removed the tumor.
“I’m grateful to have hope of finding this early, but please take this as a PSA to get skin checkups.”
