Joe Biden, a former President of the United States, undergoes radiation and hormonal therapy to fight the “aggressive” prostate cancer, which was diagnosed in May 2025, said the spokesman on Saturday, October 11. Joe Biden, who happened for 83 years, revealed that he had an aggressive form of prostate cancer that spread his bones.
The spokesman said, “President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormonal treatment in the prostate cancer treatment plan.”
In September, the former president underwent a procedure known as surgery Mohs to remove cancer cells from his skin.
What is Mohs surgery?
According to the National Health Institute (NIH), Mohs is a micrographic surgery of tissue, an accurate method of removing skin cancer. This was named in honor of a surgeon who developed this technique, Frederick Mohs. The procedure was originally named “chemosurgers”.
It is a surgical approach that allegedly offers a “high level of treatment” for the treatment of various skin cancer, including basal cell cancers (BCC) and spinocellular carcinomas (SCC).
After his operation, Joe Biden appeared in public with a significant blow on his forehead when he greeted people in Delaware during the Labor Day.
About the diagnosis of prostate cancer Joe biden
The democratic leader revealed in May that he was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. In his statement, his team reported that cancer was aggressive but sensitive to hormones.
“Although it represents a more aggressive form of disease, cancer seems to be sensitive to hormones, allowing effective management,” the statement read.
His spokesman Kelly Scully reported that cancer has spread to the bone – which is often seen about 60 % of advanced cases of prostate cancer.
Scully also said that his cancer was “characterized by the Gleason 9” score, suggesting a highly aggressive form of disease. The Gleason scoring system is used to measure how aggressive prostate cancer is, the score 9 signals rapidly growing and potentially more dangerous cancer.
The diagnosis of cancer came months after the former president’s health was subject to public interest and attacks of the Republican Party. His physical and mental fitness also attracted intensive media control.
