Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has revealed that his most recent MRI brain scan showed that his cancer has gone.

Carter broke the news at a Sunday school class.

Standing before 200 people at his church in Georgia, Carter told the crowd:  "When I went this week, they didn't find any cancer at all."

The 91-year-old Carter started treatment in August for a cancer that had spread from his liver to his brain. 

Despite the diagnosis, Carter continued to volunteer, working to build homes for Habitat for Humanity, an organization he's been involved with since 1984.

The former President says he will continue to receive regular doses of immunotherapy treatments.
