Former President Joe Biden’s office announced on Sunday that he is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
According to a statement from Biden’s team, he was diagnosed last week after discovering prostate nodules linked to an increase in urinary symptoms. The diagnosis came with a Gleason score of 9 (grade group 5) indicating that the cancer has metastasized to the bone.
The statement also noted that this type of cancer is considered more aggressive, but it shows hormone sensitivity, which may allow for effective management. Biden and his family are currently discussing treatment options with his doctor.
This is an ongoing situation, and updates will follow.
