Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
According to a statement, “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has 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 said.
The doctors deemed it aggressive, but said it is responding to hormone treatment.
Doctors have categorized the cancer as aggressive, but they noted that it remains responsive to hormone treatment. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” the statement continued.
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, wishing Joe Biden a “fast and successful recovery.”
