Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to a statement issued by his office on Sunday afternoon.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen in a new discovery of the prostate node after he was exposed to increased urine symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which is characterized by a 9th -9 -degree Group 5 with a malignant tumor to the bone,” as stated in the statement.
The statement concluded that “although this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, it seems that cancer is sensitive to hormones, which allows effective management. The president and his family review treatment options with his doctors.”
On Tuesday, Biden spokesman confirmed to ABC News that a small colonel was found in the former head of prostate after a “routine physical examination”.

The spokesman said that the discovery of the nodules “necessitated more evaluation.”
In February 2023, while working as a president, Biden had a scourge from his chest was cancerous. Before entering the office, Biden had many non -melanchren’s skin cancers with mohs surgery.
“As expected, the biopsy confirmed that the small lesion is basal cell cancer,” said Dr. Kevin Okonor, a White House doctor at the time. “All cancerous tissue has been successfully removed … no more treatment is required.”
Biden’s health was subject to scrutiny since before he came out of the presidential race in 2024, which led to the allowance for the then President Kamala Harris to lead the democratic presidential ticket.
In his appearance on “The View” at ABC earlier this month, Biden and former first lady Dr. Jil Biden declined against a new list of books from journalists who claim that Biden was dealing with the cognitive decline at the end of his presidency.
“They are wrong. There is nothing to keep it,” Biden said.
