Biden diagnosed with “aggressive” form of prostate cancer
Former President Joe Biden’s office says he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Biden was seen last week by doctors after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
His office said Sunday this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, but the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” a statement from his office reads.
Biden and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.
