Former US President Joe Biden receives new treatment for aggressive prostate cancer

Former United States President Joe Biden has begun radiation therapy as part of his treatment for an aggressive form of prostate cancer, according to a spokesperson.

“As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,” the spokesperson confirmed to CNN, as reported on Saturday.

The treatment reportedly began several weeks ago, though no specific timeline has been provided.

The diagnosis was first disclosed in May, when Biden’s personal office revealed he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones.
