Biden Begins New Phase of Prostate Cancer Care With Radiation and Hormone Therapy

A May diagnosis found an aggressive, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that had spread to bone.

Overview

  • Spokesperson Kelly Scully said he is currently receiving radiation alongside ongoing hormone medication.
  • The radiation course is expected to run about five weeks, marking a new point in his treatment plan.
  • Doctors identified a prostate nodule after increasing urinary symptoms, leading to a Gleason score 9 finding.
  • Sources familiar with his care report he is doing well during treatment.
  • In September he underwent Mohs surgery on his forehead, and his physician said all cancerous tissue was removed with no further treatment required.
