Biden's Prostate Nodule Renews Health Scrutiny

Former US President Joe Biden, age 82, is undergoing further medical evaluation after a small nodule was found on his prostate during a routine physical exam. Doctors are conducting tests to determine whether the nodule is benign, cancerous, or related to inflammation, a common issue for men of his age. Biden's medical history includes successful removal of various non-melanoma skin cancers and a basal cell carcinoma lesion. Although he was declared 'fit to serve' in February 2024, concerns about Biden's age and health contributed to his decision not to seek re-election. The discovery has renewed scrutiny of his physical and cognitive health, with some reports questioning his fitness during his final year in office. Biden has publicly denied allegations of cognitive decline, maintaining there is no evidence to support them.
