Joe Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Prostate Cancer: “Spread to the Bones”

According to a statement from his office, Biden—who left the White House in January—has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

The diagnosis was made after he sought medical attention last week due to increasing urinary symptoms.

Signs of Cancer Have Spread

Examinations revealed a newly discovered tumor on the prostate, and further scans confirmed a Gleason score of 9—placing the cancer in the highest risk category. This also indicates that the disease has shown signs of spreading to the bones, suggesting an advanced stage.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, analysis shows that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, which opens the door to effective treatment options,” the statement from Biden’s office reads.

The Biden family is currently reviewing treatment options in consultation with specialists.

It remains unknown which type of treatment he will receive, but hormone-based therapy is often the first step in similar cases.

A decision on the future course of treatment is expected to be made within the coming days.
