Summary
President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer, a Gleason score of 9, which has metastasized to his bones. Experts suggest the advanced stage may result from older patients often being diagnosed later. There are speculations about whether Biden was screened due to new guidelines discouraging PSA tests for men over 70. Biden expressed gratitude for public support and emphasized his ongoing commitment to cancer research, having initiated a 'moonshot' initiative post his son Beau's death. While the cancer is hormone-sensitive and treatable, health concerns persist regarding Biden's wellbeing and future candidacy.
Perspectives
Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis at age 82 underscores the importance of increased screening and accessibility to healthcare for older men, as experts emphasize that cancer does not conform to strict detection guidelines, and late-stage diagnoses can occur even in those seeking routine medical care.
Despite the aggressive nature of the cancer, it is hormone-sensitive, allowing for treatment options; Biden's engagement in cancer advocacy is expected to reinvigorate nationwide focus on healthcare improvement and support for research initiatives.
