Washington, D.C. – May 18, 2025 — Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, according to a statement released by his personal office on Sunday.

The 82-year-old was recently evaluated following increasing urinary symptoms, prompting further medical investigation. “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” the statement, shared with CNN, confirmed. “On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”

While the diagnosis indicates an advanced and aggressive stage of the disease, the statement offered a measure of optimism, noting that the cancer is hormone-sensitive — a factor that allows for more effective management and treatment options.

Biden, who served as the 46th President of the United States, is reportedly consulting with his medical team alongside his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, as they consider the most appropriate treatment path.

No further details were provided at the time of this report, and the former president’s office stated that more information would be shared in due course.

This is a developing story. Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
