Sources confirmed reports by the Corriere della Sera newspaper and other media outlets about the 86-year-old billionaire media magnate.
A hospital spokesman declined to comment.
Berlusconi was rushed to San Raffaele on April 5, sparking speculation that his life may be in danger and drawing a large number of relatives and friends to his bedside.
His doctors said Berlusconi was suffering from chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CML). They did not specify when the cancer was detected, saying only that it was not an acute disease.
In their reports, the doctors said that the former prime minister’s condition had improved since admission.
Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party is part of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing coalition, although it has no role in the government.
Berlusconi’s health has deteriorated in recent years. He had heart surgery in 2016, also had prostate cancer and has been hospitalized repeatedly since contracting COVID-19 in 2020.
“Good luck Silvio, my friend!” tweeted Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, a political ally of Berlusconi, commenting on the Corriere della Sera report.
