Joe Biden announced that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer typically grows slowly, and in its early stages, it may not show obvious symptoms.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” his personal office said in a statement. “On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”
