Joe Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Prostate Cancer

On May 16, 2025, former President Joe Biden, 82, was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer (Gleason score 9) with bone metastasis after a routine exam detected a prostate nodule. The hormone-sensitive cancer is being evaluated for treatment options at his Wilmington, Delaware home. Biden, who previously had skin cancer and a precancerous polyp removed, faces this challenge with bipartisan support, including from President Trump and Representatives Khanna and Greene. His history with cancer, including his son Beau’s death, underscores his personal connection to the disease.
