Former US President, Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive and advanced form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, according to a statement released by his office.
The type of cancer is hormone-sensitive, which means it responds to therapies that lower or block the body’s production of male hormones, such as testosterone, which fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells.
The diagnosis was confirmed after a series of medical evaluations and imaging scans conducted over the past few weeks. Biden, who previously had a history of good health aside from common age-related concerns, reportedly began experiencing symptoms such as persistent back pain, fatigue, and difficulty with mobility, which prompted further investigation by his medical team.
