Nationwide — Former President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has already metastasized to his bones, according to a statement released by his personal office. The announcement, made Sunday, marks a serious health development for the former commander-in-chief, whose cancer has been classified with a Gleason score of 9—indicating the most severe category of prostate cancer. Despite the grave nature of the illness, his doctors say it is hormone-sensitive, which allows for treatment options that could manage the disease effectively.

According to CNN, the diagnosis followed recent reports that Biden had undergone evaluations after experiencing increased urinary symptoms. His medical team detected a prostate nodule, which led to a biopsy and the eventual confirmation of cancer. Biden is now at home in Wilmington, Delaware, with his family as they consider potential treatments, including hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or radiation. Specialists stress that the choice of therapy must be weighed carefully, as some options may impact cognitive function, mood, and quality of life.
