The former president was diagnosed with &#8220;prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,&#8221; according to his office&#8217;s statement. And while the statement noted that Biden has a &#8220;more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Former President Joe Biden speaks at a conference in Chicago, April 15, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Nam Y.
