Biden Diagnosed With Aggressive Type of Prostate Cancer

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, his office said in a statement on May 18.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,“ it continued, saying that the family is ”reviewing treatment options.”
