Joe Biden Diagnosed With Aggressive Prostate Cancer

On May 18, 2024, his office announced,

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

The statement continued,

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The former President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
