Greg Papa, in a statement shared by KNBR, announced he has been diagnosed with cancer and will step away from his broadcast work as he focuses on undergoing treatment.

Papa added that he looks forward to returning soon, but in the meantime, will hand over his radio hosting duties to his co-host, Greg Silver.

The 62-year-old joined the NBC Sports Bay Area network full-time in 2009, and he has been a long-time studio host of SportsTalk Live, Warriors Pre & Postgame Live, and Giants Pre & Postgame Live, in addition to his contribution to 49ers coverage.
