Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. This diagnosis follows the discovery of a prostate nodule during a routine medical examination prompted by increasing urinary symptoms. Medical assessments indicate that the cancer has a high Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), signifying a severe and rapidly progressing form of the disease. However, it is also hormone-sensitive, which suggests that treatment options may be effective.
At 82 years old, Biden is currently consulting with his medical team and family to explore potential treatment avenues. This diagnosis comes months after his departure from office, a period during which he has maintained a relatively low public profile . Notably, Biden has been an advocate for cancer research, particularly following the death of his son, Beau, from brain cancer in 2015. He and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, established the Biden Cancer Initiative to promote cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research, and care .
Further updates on his condition and treatment plans are expected as his medical team continues to assess the situation.
