In a shocking announcement, the office of former U.S. President Joe Biden confirmed on Sunday that the 82 year old has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. After experiencing increasing urinary symptoms, Biden underwent medical evaluation last week, revealing that the cancer has metastasized to his bones.

Biden's cancer is classified as hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management, though it remains incurable. The diagnosis carries a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating one of the most severe and fast growing forms of the disease.

Experts say patients with advanced prostate cancer can still live for several years with appropriate treatment. Biden and his family are currently reviewing available options. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in U.S. men, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.

This diagnosis raises both health concerns and political speculation about Biden's future role in public life.
