Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office announced on Sunday. The diagnosis comes after Biden experienced urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was detected during a medical evaluation last week.

Doctors confirmed on Friday that cancer cells have spread to his bone, indicating a more aggressive form of the disease. However, his office reports that the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which typically allows for effective management.

Biden, alongside his family, is currently consulting with physicians to explore possible treatment options in response to this new medical challenge.
