Washington (AP) – His office said on Sunday:
This result came after 82 -year -old urine reported the urine symptoms, prompting doctors to discover a broker on the prostate. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, when cancer cells spread to the bones.
His office said: “Although this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer seems to be sensitive to hormones, which allows effective management,” his office said. “The president and his family review the treatment options with his doctors.”
The prostate cancers are classified for aggression using what is known as the Gleson degree. The grades range from 6 to 10, with prostate 8, 9 and 10 prostate cancers with more aggressive behavior. Biden’s office said that his degrees were 9, indicating that his cancer is among the most aggressive.
When prostate cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it often spreads to the bones. It is difficult to treat soaked cancer than translated cancer because it may be difficult for medications to reach all tumors and completely root the disease.
However, when prostate cancers need growth, as in the case of Baiden, they can be vulnerable to treatment that deprives hormone tumors.
Dr. Matthew Smith of the Massachusetts Center, General Brigham Cancer, said that the results have improved in recent decades, and patients can expect to live with a four or five years of prostate cancer.
“It is very remedial, but it cannot be treated,” Smith said. “Most men in this position will be treated with drugs and it will not be recommended to perform surgery or radiotherapy.”
Many political leaders have sent Biden their desires to recover.
President Donald Trump, a long -term political opponent, posted on social media that he is sad of news and “we hope that an atmosphere will recover quickly and successful.”
Biden President Kamala Harris, on social media, said that she was keeping him in “the hearts of her family and her prayers during this time.”
“A fighter atmosphere – and I know that he will face this challenge with the same strength, flexibility and optimism that has always identified his life and leadership,” Harris wrote.
Former President Barack Obama said that his ideas and prayers were with Biden, his former vice president, referring to the durability. Obama wrote on social media: “No one has done more to find cancer penetration treatments in all its forms, and I am sure that he will fight this challenge with his brand and grace,” Obama wrote on social media.
Biden’s health was a dominant concern among the voters during his presence as president. After Malaysian discussion in June while seeking to be re -elected, Biden abandoned his offer for a second period. Harris became the candidate and lost to Trump, a fans who returned to the White House after a four -year stop.
But in recent days, Biden rejected concerns about his age despite reporting in the new book “Original Sin” by Jake Taber and Alex Thompson that the assistants protect the audience from his decline while working as a president.
In February 2023, Biden had a removed lesion from his chest, which was a basal cell cancer, a common form of skin cancer. In November 2021, it was removed from the colon from the colon that was benign, but it was likely to be a pre -cancerous lesion.
In 2022, Biden made “moon cancer” one of his administration’s priorities with the aim of criticizing the death rate for the next 25 years. The initiative was a continuation of his work as a vice president to treat the disease of killing his eldest son, Bo, who died due to brain cancer in 2015.
His father said, when announcing the goal of the death rate in half, that this may be “an American moment to prove ourselves, and fully frankly, the world can do really big things.”
