Biden's Aggressive Prostate Cancer Diagnosis: Hormone-Sensitive Offers Hope

President Biden's Prostate Cancer Diagnosis: An Aggressive Form, But Hormone-Sensitive On Sunday, May 18th, 2025, President Joe Biden's office announced his diagnosis of an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The news shocked the nation, given Biden's age and public role. The statement from Biden's office revealed that the cancer has metastasized to his bones. This follows reports from the previous week about a "small nodule" found on his prostate during a routine exam. The office's statement read, in part: "Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule... On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer...While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management." This offers hope for effective treatment. The President and his family are currently reviewing treatment options with his physicians. The hormone-sensitive nature of the cancer suggests various treatment approaches could be successful. This diagnosis underscores the importance of regular health checkups, regardless of age or public profile. President Biden's openness about his health provides a powerful example for others.
