The statement reads: “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”
The statement added that Biden and his family are currently reviewing treatment options with his physicians.
This news comes just days after a spokesperson revealed that Biden had recently undergone an evaluation following the discovery of a small nodule on his prostate.
