US EditionFormer President Joe Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive' form of prostate cancer
- On Friday, May 16, 2025, former President Joe Biden received a diagnosis of prostate cancer that had progressed to an advanced and aggressive stage, a fact his office disclosed two days later on Sunday, May 18, 2025.
- Biden sought medical attention last week after experiencing urinary symptoms, which led to finding a prostate nodule and cancer spread to the bone.
- His cancer has a Gleason score of nine indicating high aggressiveness, but it appears hormone-sensitive, allowing better management despite not being curable.
- Dr. Matthew Smith said patients with metastatic prostate cancer can expect to live four or five years, and Biden's family is reviewing treatment options with physicians.
- The diagnosis underscores the importance of Biden’s ongoing cancer initiatives and drew expressions of support from political figures including Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Obama.
