Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with stage nine prostate cancer, which has spread to his bones. His office confirmed:

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms… he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”

Though the cancer is aggressive, doctors say it is hormone-sensitive, making it treatable.
“The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,” the statement continued.

Donald Trump, who succeeded Biden as president, offered support through Truth Social:
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis… we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
