Former U.S. President Joe Biden was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer last week, a spokesperson confirmed on May 20, 2025. The cancer has metastasized to the bones and is rated at level 9 on the Gleason scale, which assesses tumor aggressiveness. Previously, Biden’s last PSA blood test to detect prostate issues was conducted in 2014. Amidst accusations from Donald Trump and his allies regarding health transparency, Biden’s team issued a statement affirming that no prior diagnosis had been made until this recent revelation. Prostate cancer, commonly detected through PSA tests or digital rectal exams, remains the most prevalent cancer among men and the second leading cause of cancer death for men in the U.S. Despite its prevalence, routine PSA screenings are not recommended by the CDC for men over 70 without symptoms due to risks of false positives and unnecessary treatments. A new investigative book circulating in the U.S. claims the White House concealed health issues during Biden’s presidency to ensure his re-election.
