Biden Is Diagnosed With ‘Aggressive’ Form of Prostate Cancer (3)

Former US President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, his office announced.

Biden was in a Philadelphia hospital last week, where doctors discovered a “small nodule” on his prostate that they said required further examination. The former president, 82, had been experiencing urinary symptoms, his office said in a statement Sunday.

The cancer had metastasized to the bone, spokesperson Kelly Scully said in the statement. This is fairly common in patients with advanced prostate cancer, occurring in about 60% of cases, according to the health group Zero Prostate Cancer.
