Joe Biden at a new stage treatment for prostate cancer

Former US President Joe Biden is facing a new phase in his medical treatment, as in May he discovered he has an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

His spokesman confirmed that Biden is already undergoing radio therapy and hormonal treatment, which are part of a “treatment plan” set by his doctors.

According to the spokesman, radiation treatment is expected to last five weeks and marks a new step in caring for its state of health. Beden has also begun taking a hormone pill medicine.

Beden, who turns 83 next month, “is fine”, reports NBC News.

Last month, he also underwent surgery “Mohs” for treatment of a form of skin cancer and appeared in public with a bandage on his forehead.

Making the situation public at the beginning of the year, Biden said he was diagnosed after being visited by a doctor for urinary symptoms.

A statement by his team indicated that he had a <x0 most aggressive form of illness”, but that “seems to be sensitive to hormones, which allows an effective management. ”

Prostatic cancer is quite common among men of Benden's age, yet many cases are of a milder form that requires just monitoring.

The four years of Joe Biden's presidency ended in January, when Donald Trump took power after defeating Kamala Harris, the potential successor to Biden.

His mandate ended amid constant concerns about his physical and mental health, which culminated in a catastrophic “television agenda”, which forced him to eventually withdraw as a candidate, writes Sky News.
