Biden Undergoing Radiation Therapy as Prostate Cancer Treatment Enters New Phase

The move reflects a shift from pill-based hormone therapy to a planned five-week radiation course for a high‑grade, hormone‑sensitive cancer.

Overview

  • A spokesperson confirmed the former president is receiving radiation therapy alongside ongoing hormone treatment.
  • Reporting cites his team as saying the radiation course is expected to span roughly five weeks.
  • Biden disclosed in May that he has an aggressive prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 9 that had spread to his bones.
  • His office has characterized the disease as hormone‑sensitive, and he had previously begun hormone medication in pill form.
  • In September he had Mohs surgery to remove skin cancer lesions, with his physician saying all malignant tissue was removed, and a source familiar with his care says he is doing well.
