Event Summary

Former United States President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, which has metastasized to his bones. The diagnosis, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), was made after he experienced increasing urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found. His office stated that while the cancer is aggressive, it appears to be hormone-sensitive, allowing for effective management. Joe Biden and his family are currently reviewing treatment options with his physicians. This news comes months after Joe Biden left office in January.
