Tennessee: Lofton Dealt With Cancer Before Season



Lofton Dealt With Cancer Before Season: Tennessee senior guard Chris Lofton had surgery and radiation treatment in spring 2007 to treat testicular cancer, which doctors found after Lofton was selected for a random drug tests. During the evaluation, doctors found high levels of a hormone that led them to the cancer diagnosis. Lofton started the 2007-08 season, and coach Bruce Pearl said he attributes that to Lofton’s off-season treatment. By the end of his senior season, Lofton had 431 three-pointers for his career, which is good for third all-time in NCAA history. [5/06/08]
