Biden Begins Radiation for Prostate Cancer

The course follows a May diagnosis of high‑grade, hormone‑sensitive prostate cancer with bone metastases.

Overview

  • Spokeswoman Kelly Scully said the former president is receiving radiation alongside ongoing hormone therapy.
  • The treatment marks a new phase after initial hormone medication that began following the May diagnosis.
  • Doctors graded the tumor Gleason 9, and his team says its hormone sensitivity allows for effective management.
  • The radiation phase is expected to span about five weeks, according to reports citing his office.
  • In September he underwent Mohs surgery for skin lesions, and his physician reported all malignant tissue was removed; a source familiar says he is doing well.
