Former President Biden Diagnosed Aggressive Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer characterized by a Gleason score of 9, with metastasis to his bones, as announced by his office. Despite the severity, the cancer is hormone-sensitive, allowing for effective management, and Biden and his family are currently reviewing treatment options with physicians. The diagnosis follows urinary symptoms and the discovery of a prostate nodule last week. In response to the news, President Donald Trump and several Republican leaders expressed their sadness and wished Biden a swift recovery, with Trump and his wife Melania sending their warmest wishes. Democratic leaders from Rhode Island and Massachusetts also expressed support and confidence in Biden's resilience, highlighting his history of advocacy for cancer research, including the Cancer Moonshot program. Meanwhile, English commentator Piers Morgan condemned the partisan attacks and disrespectful reactions to Biden's health news, urging for respect given Biden's long service to the country.
