Joe Biden is facing a new health battle after announcing a diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris expressed her support for Biden, stating: «Doug and I are saddened to hear about President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis. We hold him, Dr. Biden, and their entire family in our hearts and prayers at this time. Joe is a fighter, and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, perseverance, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership».
Even President Donald Trump expressed well wishes, saying: «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 wish Joe a quick and successful recovery».
For more detailed information on the former president’s diagnosis and the latest updates on his condition, HollywoodLife has gathered everything you need to know below.
Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating a high degree of cancer. The disease has metastasized to his bones, indicating an advanced stage.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, prostate cancer is a disease that begins in the prostate gland and is one of the most common cancers in men. While many prostate cancers develop slowly and may not cause significant harm, aggressive forms can quickly spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones and lymph nodes.
As of May 2025, Biden is meeting with his doctors to explore treatment options. According to CBS News and PEOPLE, the cancer is hormone-sensitive, which may allow for effective treatment options.
Biden expressed gratitude for the public’s support, saying: «Cancer touches us all… Jill and I have learned that we are stronger in the broken places».
Biden also stated: «Hell, I’ve learned that this journey is full of unexpected twists. But we face them together. And I am grateful to have this nation behind me».
Biden is currently 82 years old. He was born on November 20, 1942.
According to the Moffitt Cancer Center and MD Anderson Cancer Center, prostate cancer can often be cured if detected early. For advanced cases, like Biden’s, treatment may not offer a cure, but can effectively manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease
