FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, his office announced Sunday.

Medical examinations last week revealed a nodule in his prostate, prompting further evaluation.

On Sunday, Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer classified with a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating metastasis to the bones.

Despite the severity of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which provides avenues for effective treatment.

Biden and his family are reviewing medical options with his doctors.
