Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer with bone metastasis, his office confirmed in a statement released Sunday and reported by CNN, Associated Press and Huffington Post.<\/p>\n

Biden, 82, underwent a medical evaluation last week after he developed persistent urinary symptoms. Tests revealed the presence of a suspicious prostate nodule. After a series of complementary studies, the doctors determined that it was advanced prostate cancer, with a Gleason score of 9, considered the highest on the scale of tumor aggressiveness (Grade 5 Group). <\/p>\n

The former president’s office confirmed that the cancer has already metastasized to the bone, indicating that the disease has advanced beyond the prostate, affecting the bone system.<\/p>\n

However, specialists reported that the tumor is sensitive to hormones, which opens the possibility of hormonal and systemic treatments that could help contain its progression.<\/p>\n

Biden, who held the presidency from 2021 to 2025, withdrew from the 2024 election race after a series of internal debates in the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

Since then, he had maintained a more discreet profile in public life, although he continued to participate in initiatives linked to health and science.<\/p>\n

A cancer activist<\/h2>\n

During his tenure, President Biden pushed hard for the Cancer Moonshot program, a federal initiative that seeks to reduce the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years.<\/p>\n

This public policy came about following the death of her son Beau Biden from brain cancer in 2015, a personal tragedy that profoundly marked her life and commitment to the fight against this disease.<\/p>\n

For this reason, the announcement of his own diagnosis has generated great commotion and solidarity inside and outside the country.<\/p>\n

Political leaders, former collaborators, doctors and citizens have expressed their support through social networks and official statements.<\/p>\n

Expectations for its evolution<\/h2>\n\n

According to the official statement<\/a>, Biden and his family are in medical consultations to define the most appropriate treatment plan.<\/p>\n

It has not yet been specified whether he will undergo chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other targeted therapy.<\/p>\n

“We know this road will not be easy, but the president is surrounded by his family, his doctors and millions of people who cherish him,” said a close source quoted by AP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A further update on his health status and clinical decisions is expected to be issued in the coming days.<\/p>\n

For now, public attention has focused on the example of strength Biden has set in his decades of public life and on his continuing legacy as an advocate for cancer research.<\/p>\n
