Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, his office confirmed in a statement released Sunday afternoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The announcement comes after weeks of growing speculation about his health and marks a sobering moment in American politics.<\/p>\n

The diagnosis was made on Friday after doctors discovered a small nodule on Biden\u2019s prostate during an examination prompted by increasing urinary symptoms. According to the official statement, the cancer was graded as a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating a high-grade tumor.<\/p>\n

While serious, the\u00a0cancer<\/a>\u00a0is reportedly hormone-sensitive, a factor that opens the door to potentially effective treatment options.<\/p>\n

Biden, 82, broke his silence on social media with a message of gratitude and resilience, posting on X: \u201cCancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill<\/a>\u00a0and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden, who left office in January, had long faced questions about his age and fitness for another presidential term. His re-election campaign was ultimately abandoned after a widely criticized debate performance against\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0last June.<\/p>\n
