Former US President Joe Biden has confirmed a recent diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer, denying claims by President Trump that the condition was concealed from the public.
Biden’s office said he had not been previously diagnosed and last received a PSA test in 2014. The cancer, now spread to his bones, was classified as highly aggressive with a Gleason score of 9, Al Jazeera reported.
Trump questioned the timing, suggesting the illness must have been known earlier. Biden’s team dismissed the claims, citing age-related screening norms and reaffirming the diagnosis was new.
