Former President Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Metastasized Prostate Cancer

Former President Joe Biden has faced numerous serious health challenges over the years, including a near-fatal brain aneurysm in 1988 and pulmonary embolisms during recovery. Recently, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer characterized by a Gleason score of 9 and metastasis to his bones, signaling a rapidly spreading disease. Despite the severity, the cancer is hormone-sensitive, offering potential for effective management, and Biden along with his family are currently reviewing treatment options. Some medical experts have expressed surprise regarding the timing of the diagnosis, suggesting that such an advanced cancer would typically have been monitored earlier through PSA tests during his presidency. This latest diagnosis follows Biden's 2023 basal cell carcinoma skin cancer, which was successfully treated without further complications. Biden's health has been under close scrutiny, especially given his age and past medical history, but his doctors recently declared him fit to serve prior to this diagnosis.
