Former President Joe Biden has an ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer. Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, and the cancer has spread to his bones.
The beloved former president was diagnosed with prostate cancer on May 16, per CNBC.
The outlet reported that Biden’s office made a statement announcing the news:
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management…The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
Prostate cancer is given a score between 1 and 10, which indicates how the cancer cells compare to normal cells. CNBC reported that “Biden’s office said his score was 9, suggesting his cancer is among the most aggressive.”
