Joe Biden diagnosed with ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer
Former US president’s office said the cancer cells had spread to the bone and Biden, 82, was reviewing treatment options with doctors
The finding came after the 82-year-old reported urinary symptoms, which led doctors to discover a nodule on his prostate.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his office said.
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery,” Trump, who has repeatedly derided Biden for his cognitive abilities and aged demeanour, said on his Truth Social platform.
