A statement from the Personal Office of former U.S. President Joe Biden has confirmed that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer following recent medical tests prompted by persistent urinary symptoms.
Doctors found a prostate nodule last week and confirmed the diagnosis on Friday. The cancer is classified as aggressive, with a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), and has already spread to the bone.
However, the cancer is said to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for more effective treatment options. President Biden and his family are currently reviewing possible treatment paths with his medical team.
This update comes as the former president continues to remain active in political and public life.
