Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to multiple reports of a statement from his office released on Sunday.
According to the statement, Biden, 82, was diagnosed after he sought treatment for worsening urinary issues.
“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”
