The 50-year-old Beat It singer was diagnosed with the disease in recent weeks.
Experts found spots of skin cancer on his upper body and pre-cancerous cells on his face.
A source said: "Michael’s tests showed spots of skin cancer on his body, and cells which could turn to skin cancer on his face.
“He was at first very concerned, but says he has been assured by the doctors that they can treat this and he will recover.
“Michael is really looking forward to his concerts and is determined to wow his fans at each and every gig.
“He said he’s insisted that any treatment must fit around the concerts, and the show will go on.”
Jacko, who has been seen making regular visits to his Beverly Hills dermatologist wearing a mask and surgical cap, received the shock diagnosis last month.
He was seen on April 22 at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, which has a specialist lab to test for such diseases.
The star’s Escalade motor was involved in an incident as it arrived to pick him up.
It is believed Jacko will be treated by Cambridge-educated Dr Ralph Massey, an award-winning cosmetic and skin cancer surgeon based in Santa Monica.
It is thought the star’s condition may be linked to his vitiligo, a disease that affects pigmentation.
