Former President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, his office said. Detected after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule, his Gleason score is 9, indicating an aggressive disease that has spread to bone. His team says hormone-sensitive status allows for effective management, and he is reviewing treatment options. Political figures, including President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, offered well-wishes. Biden’s health had been a voter concern; he ended his 2024 reelection bid after a poor debate, with Harris ultimately losing to Trump. Biden previously had a basal cell carcinoma removed (2023) and a benign precancerous colon polyp (2021), and he championed a “cancer moonshot” initiative after his son Beau’s death from brain cancer.
