Joe Biden is now receiving radiation and hormone treatments in what doctors describe as a new stage of care for the aggressive prostate cancer discovered after he left the White House, his spokesperson confirmed today.
“As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,” said Biden aide Kelly Scully.
The 82-year-old Democrat stepped down from office in January, months after ending his reelection campaign. His decision followed a widely criticized debate performance against Republican Donald Trump that intensified concerns over Biden’s advanced age, health, and cognitive condition. Trump went on to defeat Democrat Kamala Harris, who had served as Biden’s vice president.
In May, Biden’s post-presidency office disclosed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which had already metastasized to his bones. The diagnosis came after he sought medical attention for urinary complications.
Doctors measure the aggressiveness of prostate cancer using the Gleason scoring system, which ranges from 6 to 10. Scores of 8, 9, or 10 indicate a more dangerous and rapidly advancing form of the disease. Biden’s team revealed that his cancer was graded at 9, identifying it as one of the most severe types.
Just last month, Biden underwent a procedure to remove skin cancer spots from his forehead, his office added.
