Joe Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Prostate Cancer Former U.S. President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, his office confirmed Sunday.
The diagnosis came after doctors found a high-grade tumor (Gleason score 9) following urinary symptoms. Despite the severity, the cancer is hormone-sensitive, offering possible treatment paths.
Biden responded publicly, saying: “Cancer touches us all… Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.” Reactions from Across the Aisle Support poured in from political leaders.
Donald Trump posted well wishes on Truth Social, as did Kamala Harris and Rep. Ro Khanna. Meghan McCain and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also shared personal reflections and condolences.
