Former US president Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office says.
Biden was seen last week by doctors after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management,” his office says. “The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
