Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Form of Cancer: His Family Reacts Urgently
Former U.S. President Joseph Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer on Friday.
According to The New York Times, the diagnosis was made after doctors found a "small nodule" on Biden’s prostate.
His family has since issued a statement regarding the situation.
"Last week, President Joe Biden underwent an examination due to a newly detected nodule on the prostate after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Group 5) with bone metastases," the statement read.
"Although this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective treatment."
Biden and his family are "discussing treatment options with his doctors," the statement concluded.
