Former U.S. President Joe Biden’s medical diagnosis revealed he has an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, raising concerns. The former president received the diagnosis shortly after leaving office and following months of concern over his health. Now, many are now wondering what happened and the extent of his condition.
In this article, we will delve into the details of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis.
Here’s what Joe Biden is diagnosed with
Joe Biden has been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. He was informed of the diagnosis last Friday after visiting doctors due to urinary symptoms. Tests revealed a cancerous growth on his prostate, and further scans showed that it had already reached the bone.
His office confirmed the diagnosis in a statement on Sunday. The cancer is a more aggressive form of the disease, with a Gleason score of 9 out of 10. This means his illness is classified as “high-grade,” and the cancer cells could spread quickly. (via BBC)
Despite the diagnosis, Biden’s team remains hopeful about treatment. His family is working closely with doctors to review the best options going forward. Following the announcement, several public figures expressed support. Trump posted on social media that he was saddened by the news and wished Biden a speedy recovery.
Joe Biden’s medical diagnosis comes just months after Biden left office following a single term as president. Throughout his presidency, concerns over his age and health were constant among citizens. These worries grew during the 2024 election campaign, especially after his poor performance during a June debate with Donald Trump. Following pressure from fellow Democrats, Biden dropped out of the race. Vice President Kamala Harris went on to become the Democratic nominee but was ultimately defeated by Trump.
