Former president Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, a spokesperson for Biden said in a statement on Sunday.
Biden, 82, received the diagnosis on Friday after doctors discovered a “small nodule” on Biden’s prostate that required additional evaluation.
Doctors said the cancer had a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.
The former president and his family are currently “reviewing treatment options” with his physicians.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management,” the spokesman said in a statement.
