Joe Biden, the former President of the US, is facing a major health challenge after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. The announcement came from his office over the weekend and follows a recent period of reduced public appearances since leaving the office in January 2025.
According to reports, the diagnosis was made after Biden sought medical attention for urinary symptoms. Further investigation revealed a high-grade cancer, classified with a Gleason score of 9—one of the most severe ratings used to assess the potential for the disease to spread. The cancer has already metastasised, which significantly narrows the treatment window and eliminates the possibility of a cure, according to experts.
