Former President of the United States of America Joe Biden was diagnosed last Friday with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, according to a statement released by his personal office on Sunday.

The diagnosis came after Biden sought medical evaluation for a newly discovered prostate nodule following worsening urinary symptoms.

The cancer is characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) and has metastasized to his bones, indicating an advanced stage of the disease. However, the statement emphasized that the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management through treatment.

Biden and his family are currently reviewing treatment options with his medical team. This development follows a routine examination that uncovered the prostate nodule last week, prompting further evaluation. The situation is evolving, and more updates are expected.

This news comes amid ongoing public interest in Biden’s health, especially after he withdrew from the 2024 presidential race citing health concerns. His office reassured that despite the aggressive nature of the cancer, there are promising avenues for treatment.
