Joe Biden’s Former Medical Advisor Discusses

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, with oncologists suggesting it may have been present since the early days of his presidency. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a former White House advisor, stated the cancer likely developed well before detection. Prostate cancer is often asymptomatic in its early stages, making early diagnosis difficult. Biden’s diagnosis follows decades of serious health issues, including brain aneurysms, pulmonary embolisms, atrial fibrillation, and skin cancer. Despite regular medical care and screenings, Biden’s latest diagnosis raises questions about how such a serious condition went unnoticed.

Biden’s health had increasingly drawn public scrutiny, especially after a disoriented debate performance in mid-2024, which led to his withdrawal from the presidential race. Though a physical in 2023 deemed him fit for office, signs of decline, including a visible hand bruise and verbal lapses, stirred speculation. His office has confirmed the metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis but has not shared treatment details. The cancer, rated with a high Gleason score of 9, is considered aggressive and incurable once it reaches the bones. Biden’s long medical history and recent developments have fueled both concern and debate about his condition and its broader implications.
