Biden's last prostate cancer blood test was in 2014, spokesperson says

  • Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer last week, which has metastasized to his bones, a development confirmed by his office on Tuesday following the initial announcement on Sunday.
  • According to his office, President Biden had his most recent prostate cancer screening in 2014 and had never received a diagnosis of the disease until last week, leading to doubts about how the cancer advanced without earlier detection.
  • The announcement prompted sympathy and criticism, including claims by some, such as Donald Trump, that Biden covered up the disease while in office amid intense scrutiny of his health.
  • Trump expressed his astonishment that the information had not been made public sooner, describing the situation as very unfortunate and saying he felt deeply sorry about it.
  • Although Biden’s cancer is incurable, it could be controlled with treatment, and the disclosure aimed to reduce speculation during ongoing debates over prostate cancer screening guidelines.
