Former US President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. The diagnosis, revealed Sunday, follows a recent doctor's visit for urinary symptoms. Biden's Gleason score of 9 indicates a high-grade cancer with potential for rapid spread. While incurable in its current stage, doctors say hormonal therapies can manage the disease and extend life expectancy. Biden has received bipartisan well wishes and is exploring treatment options.
