Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer last week, his office said in a statement on Sunday.
The news came after it was revealed that a “small nodule” was detected during a “routine physical exam,” a spokesperson for the former president told ABC News on May 13.
His prostate cancer diagnosis is “characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” his office said Sunday. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”
