Former President Joe Biden, aged 82, has announced his diagnosis of an aggressive form of prostate cancer. In a statement released on May 18, his office revealed that Biden was diagnosed after a prostate nodule was discovered during a medical evaluation for increasing urinary symptoms. The cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone, is described as hormone-sensitive, allowing for potential management. Biden and his family are currently consulting with medical professionals to determine the best course of treatment.

Biden, who served as the 46th President of the United States, completed his term on January 20 after losing his re-election bid to Donald Trump. During his presidency, Biden highlighted accomplishments such as economic recovery, healthcare expansion, and environmental legislation. Despite his initial intention to seek a second term, he ultimately withdrew from the race, citing the need to focus on his current duties. In a heartfelt message, Biden expressed gratitude to the American people and reaffirmed his belief in the nation’s resilience, emphasizing unity and collective progress.
