Former United States (US) President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones, his personal office said in a statement on Sunday.
‘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, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone’, the statement read.
The statement added, ‘While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management’.
