Joe Biden diagnosed with aggressive form of prostate cancer | BBC News
Former US President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
In a statement his office said that Mr Biden, who’s 82, was diagnosed on Friday after he saw a doctor last week for urinary symptoms.
The cancer is a more aggressive form of the disease, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 out of 10. This means his illness is classified as “high-grade” and that the cancer cells could spread quickly, according to a leading cancer charity.
Biden and his family are said to be reviewing treatment options. The former president’s office added that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, meaning it can likely be managed.
After news broke of his diagnosis, the former president received support from both sides of the aisle.
President Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that he and First Lady Melania Trump “are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family,” he said, referring to former First Lady Jill Biden. “We wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
Democratic House Representative Ro Khanna wrote on X that he is praying for Biden and his family. “He and Jill have always been fighters,” he said. “I am confident they will meet this challenge with grit and grace.”
The news comes nearly a year after the former president was forced to drop out of the 2024 US presidential election over concerns about his health and age. He is the oldest person to hold the office in US history.

The United Nations said tens of thousands of Venezuelans face hunger, homelessness and disease, as the country struggles with the aftermath of last week’s double earthquake.
More than 1,900 people are now confirmed dead, tens of thousands of others are still unaccounted for.
In the worst hit areas, the UN said basic services collapsed and foot shortages are widespread, with communication almost impossible.
The BBC’s Latin America correspondent Will Grant reported from the coastal town of Caraballeda in La Guaira – one of the hardest hit areas by the earthquakes.
