Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
According to the statement, " he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.
The 82-year-old Biden and his family are currently consulting with doctors to determine the best course of action.
"While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management."
After news broke of his diagnosis, the former president received support from both sides of the aisle.
Biden, then the Democratic nominee vying for re-election, faced mounting criticism of his poor performance in a June televised debate against Republican nominee and current president Donald Trump.
He was replaced as the Democratic candidate by his vice-president, Kamala Harris.
Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, a small gland in the male reproductive system that helps produce semen. It is one of the most common cancers in men and often grows slowly.
Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing the disease and improving the chances of a cure.
The exact reason of prostate cancer is not known, however, few factors such as age, ethnicity, and family history can increase the risk.
In many cases, prostate cancer doesn't cause any symptoms in the early stages. However, as the cancer progresses, symptoms can include difficulty urinating, frequent urination, blood in urine, or bone pain.
Diagnosis typically involves a digital rectal exam (DRE), a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, and potentially imaging tests like MRI or ultrasound.
Treatment options can include surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and other targeted therapies.
