Former United States President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, according to a statement released by his personal office on Sunday. The cancer has reportedly metastasized to his bones, raising serious concerns about his health.
The statement revealed that President Biden had undergone medical evaluation last week after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. Doctors identified a new prostate nodule, and further testing confirmed prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), one of the most severe indicators of the disease.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” the statement read. Medical experts suggest that hormone-sensitive cancers can respond well to targeted treatments, though the prognosis remains guarded due to bone metastasis.
The Biden family is currently consulting with physicians to determine the best course of treatment. Though the 82-year-old former president has not made a personal statement, sources close to the family say he remains optimistic and determined to fight the disease.
This news has sent shockwaves across the United States and beyond, as Biden remains a prominent figure in global politics. Messages of support have already begun pouring in from leaders, citizens, and allies around the world.
