Joe Biden diagnosed with cancer.
Former US President Joe Biden’s office announced in a statement that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to the former president’s bones.
According to the statement, the 82-year-old Biden was diagnosed with the disease when symptoms of the disease were observed in his urinary tract and he and his family are currently exploring treatment options in consultation with doctors.
According to Reuters, the statement stated that while Biden was diagnosed with an advanced form of the disease, it appears to be a hormone-sensitive type that allows for effective treatment.
At the same time, doctors, while calling the disease very risky, acknowledged that many sufferers survive 5 to 10 years or even longer after diagnosis, even with its aggressive form.
