Former U.S. President Joe Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Prostate Cancer That Has Spread to Bones
In a surprising and sobering announcement Sunday afternoon, former President Joe Biden’s office confirmed that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones.
This news comes after weeks of mounting speculation about Biden’s health and marks a poignant moment in American political history.
The diagnosis was made following a medical examination on Friday, triggered by increasing urinary symptoms, when doctors detected a small nodule on Biden’s prostate.
According to the official statement, the cancer carries a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating a high-grade tumor. Despite the seriousness of the diagnosis, the cancer is hormone-sensitive, providing hope for effective treatment options moving forward.
