Former US President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, a statement from his office said on Sunday.

According to the statement, 82-year-old Biden, who left office in January, was diagnosed on Friday after he saw a doctor last week for urinary symptoms. The cancer he was diagnosed with is said to be a more aggressive form of the disease, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 out of 10, which means his illness is classified as “high-grade” and the cancer cells could spread quickly, according to Cancer Research UK.

Biden Office Statement

Biden and his family are said to be reviewing treatment options. His office added that the cancer was hormone-sensitive, meaning it could likely be managed.
