Joe Biden diagnosed with ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer: Everything we know

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his personal office confirmed on Sunday.

The news was announced in a short statement made public less than four months after he left office. The 82-year-old has made few public appearances since leaving the White House.

The statement reveals that it was initially identified as prostate cancer, which has now spread to his bones.

“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 reads.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”

The statement ended by saying that he and his family are “reviewing treatment options with his physicians” but there is no further explanation of his condition for now.
