A recent medical update from President Joe Biden’s team has sparked questions across both the medical and legal communities after it was revealed that he is battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

According to a statement released on Sunday, the 46th President of the United States has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones. The cancer has been classified as “hormone-sensitive,” meaning that while it is advanced, it could still respond well to specific treatment options.

Many health professionals have voiced concern over how far the disease had progressed before detection. Prostate cancer is widely regarded as one of the more easily diagnosed cancers in its early stages, especially through standard screenings such as PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood tests.
