Ezekiel Emmanuel on Biden’s Prostate Cancer Treatments
On Monday, Ezekiel Emmanuel appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” discussing the treatment options available for former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer.
He noted, “There is a lesion in the bone, which means the prostate cancer is metastatic and unfortunately incurable. It won’t simply go away. However, he does have several treatment options available, including certain gene therapies and chemotherapy.”
Co-host Joe Scarborough remarked, “It’s not common for someone to be diagnosed with prostate cancer at this advanced stage. Is it true that this type of cancer typically takes a while to spread to the bones?”
Emmanuel responded, “Yes, he has likely had this for many years—perhaps up to ten—and it has grown and spread over time. It’s certainly surprising. Reflecting on his health history and the release of his medical records, there’s no sign of prostate-specific antigens.”
Scarborough asked for clarification, “If the cancer has spread to the bones, are you suggesting he had it during his presidency?”
Emmanuel confirmed, “Yes, he didn’t just develop this in the last few months. He likely had it when he was in office, potentially from the beginning of his presidency in 2021. I think there’s a consensus on that point.”
