Former U.S. President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. He and his family are currently evaluating treatment options.
- Biden's diagnosis followed urinary symptoms and the discovery of a prostate nodule; confirmed as Gleason score 9, Grade Group 5.
- The cancer's hormone sensitivity allows for potential management, though surgery is unlikely due to its spread.
- Former President Donald Trump expressed sympathy, wishing Biden a "fast and successful recovery" on Truth Social.
As Biden considers treatment options, his journey may influence public discourse on health and aging in leadership. How might this impact perceptions of age and health in political figures?
