Biden diagnosed with "aggressive form" of prostate cancer

Former President Biden was diagnosed on Friday with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer, multiple outlets reported Sunday. The big picture: He was evaluated earlier this month after doctors found a "small nodule" in his prostate during a routine physical exam.Driving the news: "Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone," according to a statement provided to CNN.The cancer appears to be "hormone-sensitive," the statement read, "which allows for effective management."Biden and his family "are reviewing treatment options with his physicians," the statement continued.Context: Gleason scores are a grading system used for prostate cancer, according to Cleveland Clinic.They range from six, which is considered low-grade cancer, to 10, which is high-grade.Prostate cancer is more likely to develop in older men, according to the American Cancer Society, and is the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer.Flashback: In 2023, Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed from his chest, but it did not require further treatment.
