Former US President Joe Biden is receiving radiation treatment for prostate cancer, which he was diagnosed with in May, a spokesman for former US President Joe Biden said on Saturday.
“As part of his prostate cancer treatment plan, President Biden is currently undergoing radiotherapy and hormone therapy,” the spokesperson said.
Biden, who turns 83 next month, underwent a procedure known as Mohs surgery in September to remove cancerous cells from his skin.
The former Democratic president revealed in May that he had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. His team said the disease is aggressive but sensitive to hormones, meaning it is likely to respond to treatment.
