FOX Sports NFL Reporter Erin Andrews’s Cancer Journey

Prominent FOX Sports National Football League (NFL) reporter and television personality, Erin Andrews, 48, has been a cancer survivor for almost a decade. According to the American Cancer Society, around 13,500 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed each year. Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), a common infection transmitted through sexual contact.

In 2017, Erin Andrews revealed that she had been diagnosed with cervical cancer and had undergone two surgeries at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to successfully remove all traces of the disease. Almost three weeks later, her doctors told her she no longer needed additional radiation or chemotherapy.

Just a few days after her first surgery, she had gone back to work – interviewing football stars on the NFL field. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, she shared the following: “Should I have been standing for a full game five days after surgery? Let’s just say the doctor didn’t recommend that.” She was determined to keep her life as normal as possible, telling her partner Jarret Stoll, a former National Hockey League player: “You’d play through any injury, do whatever it takes to get back out there. That’s going to be me.”

In 2025, Andrews shared on her podcast, ‘Calm Down’, that she had recently been facing a pre-skin cancer issue on her upper lip. Currently, she remains cancer-free.

After her diagnosis with cervical cancer, Andrews became a vocal voice for women’s health. In April 2026, Andrews announced a partnership with Cancerguard to promote early and regular cancer detection. In a recent interview with The Healthy, she now pushes those due for recommended screenings to avoid putting them off. Although appointments and waiting for results can be anxiety-inducing, she encourages them, saying: “Do it for yourself. Do it for your family.”
