Biden diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer

Former US President diagnosed⁢ with aggressive prostate cancer.

According to webangah News Agency, new medical tests confirm that former US President ‌Joe Biden has advanced prostate cancer.

A personal ‍statement released by ‌Biden’s office⁢ on Sunday revealed he has an ⁣aggressive‍ form of prostate cancer that⁤ has metastasized ⁣to his bones. The statement noted: “Last week, Biden⁤ underwent ⁢examination after doctors detected a new nodule in his prostate ⁤and worsening ​urinary symptoms. On Friday, tests‍ confirmed ⁣a Gleason 9 (Grade ‍Group 5) prostate ​cancer diagnosis with bone metastases.”

While acknowledging the aggressive‌ nature‌ of the ⁤disease, the statement added: “Biden’s cancer appears hormone-sensitive, which allows ‌for ​effective management options.”

The 86-year-old former president and his family are currently reviewing treatment plans⁢ with his medical team. An informed source indicated ⁣Biden is ​spending this weekend​ at his Wilmington, delaware home.

The diagnosis ‍comes days after Biden’s spokesperson‍ disclosed he had​ undergone examination for a “small nodule” in ⁢his prostate. Concerns‌ about Biden’s age and health persisted throughout⁣ his presidency – during which he was America’s oldest serving president ​- and intensified following his poor performance in last June’s debate against Donald Trump.

Since leaving the White House, Biden ⁢has maintained limited public appearances but gradually increased visibility. Earlier this month, he appeared on ABC’s The View with wife Jill Biden to address speculation about cognitive ​decline during his final presidential year.
