Former United States President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, his office has confirmed.
The 82-year-old’s condition has been described as high-grade, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and doctors are currently reviewing treatment options.
Details about when the diagnosis was made or the specific symptoms he experienced have not been disclosed.
Biden, who served as the 46th U.S. president, left office in January 2025 after losing his re-election bid. His health had been the subject of public speculation during his presidency due to his age.
His office says further updates will be shared in due course as medical evaluations continue.
