Former US president Biden diagnosed with aggressive form of prostate cancer

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office said on Sunday.

Mr Biden was seen last week by doctors after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found.

He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his office said.

“The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
