Former US President Joe Biden took X to thank the public for “love and support” after the announcement of his diagnosis of prostate cancer. In his statement published on Sunday, his office confirmed that an 82 -year -old was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that spread to his bones.
“Cancer will touch us all. Like many of you, we have jill and I learned that we were strongest in broken places. Thank you for lifting us with love and support,” Joe Biden said on X.
Joe Biden diagnosed with Prostrate Cancer
The diagnosis came after Joe Biden announced that he had experienced symptoms of urine, forcing a doctor to perform other tests that revealed a knot on his prostate.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting men, while the American society Cancer Society estimates that one of the eight men in the US will be diagnosed with it during their lives. Although it is very treatable, when it is caught soon, the second main cause of cancer death remains, the organization noted.
Biden’s prostate cancer was classified as phase 4, with the Gleason 9-Indication score one of the most aggressive forms of disease-and has already spread to bones, reported The New York Times, quoting a statement from the former Potus office.
Gleason score is a sorting system used to evaluate how abnormal prostate cancer cells appear under a microscope. A score of 9 or 10 indicates a fast growing, high -risk cancer.
“Cancer seems to be sensitive to hormones”
“Although this (score) represents a more aggressive form of disease, the cancer seems to be sensitive to hormones, allowing effective management,” reads the office Joe Biden, which was unsigned, reported The New York Times.
“The president and his family control the possibilities of treatment with their doctors,” he added.
