Former US President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive, hormone-sensitive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones.

The diagnosis followed medical evaluations prompted by increasing urinary symptoms and the detection of a new prostate nodule, with a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) indicating the severity.

At 82, Biden and his family are currently considering treatment options while he remains at home in Wilmington, Delaware.

Biden shared his gratitude for the public’s support, emphasizing strength in adversity amid this challenging health battle.
