Ex-U.S. President Biden diagnosed with prostate cancer
Former American President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
A statement from the personal office of the former president announced this on Sunday.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” the statement reads.
It added, “On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”
Explaining further, the statement said, “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
This comes a few months after Mr Biden left office, handing over to President Donald Trump.
Mr Biden, 82, had dropped out of the re-election race due to pressure from his party members, who raised questions about his mental acuity.
