Former U.S. President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bone, according to a statement from his office released May 18. The diagnosis follows earlier reports of urinary symptoms that led doctors to discover a "small nodule" on his prostate.
Medical experts classified the cancer with a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating high-risk disease. While the cancer is hormone-sensitive—allowing for potential treatment options—the metastasis adds complexity to Biden’s health journey. 🩺
Biden, who served as president from 2021 to 2025 and holds the title of oldest U.S. president in history, is currently reviewing treatment plans with his medical team and family. His office emphasized that the cancer remains "manageable" with targeted therapies.
This news sparks conversations about health transparency for public figures and prostate cancer awareness. 💬 "Early detection saves lives," say advocates, urging regular check-ups for at-risk groups.
