Biden's Prostate Cancer Diagnosis: Aggressive, But Treatable

Former President Joe Biden's Prostate Cancer Diagnosis: A Hormone-Sensitive Form, Treatment Options Under Review Former President Joe Biden's office released a statement on May 18, 2025, announcing his diagnosis of prostate cancer. The statement revealed that the cancer is an aggressive form but appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management. Biden and his family are currently reviewing treatment options with his physicians. This news follows a previous announcement in early May 2025, by the President's spokesperson, of a small nodule discovered on Biden's prostate after he experienced increased urinary symptoms. The diagnosis has raised concerns given Biden's age and recent public appearances. "While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians." - Personal Office of Former President Joe Biden The report also highlights Biden's recent public appearances, including an interview on The View on May 8th, where he defended himself against recent books criticizing his cognitive abilities. While much of the details of the treatment plan remain undisclosed, the hormone-sensitive nature of the cancer offers hope for effective management and treatment. The situation underscores the importance of regular health checkups and early detection of cancer.
