Washington – Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to a statement from his office on Sunday afternoon.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen in a new discovery of the prostate node after he was exposed to increased urine symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which is characterized by a 9th -9 -degree Group 5 with a malignant tumor to the bone,” as stated in the statement.
The statement concluded that “although this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, it seems that cancer is sensitive to hormones, which allows effective management. The president and his family review treatment options with his doctors.”

In February 2023, while working as a president, Biden had a scourge from his chest was cancerous. Before entering the office, Biden had many non -melanchren’s skin cancers with mohs surgery.
