“Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his personal office announced Sunday. ‘Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,’ his personal office said in a statement. ‘On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.’ Metastasis means the cancer has spread from its primary site (in Biden’s cancer, the prostate) to other tissue in the body. … Most men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die of it. And that Biden’s cancer is hormone-sensitive suggests he will respond to treatment, experts said.” (05/18/25)
