Before It's Too Late: Biden Reveals Prostate Cancer Treatment Success

Joe Biden has given a direct update on his health. He says the radiation treatment he received last fall "worked as intended." This news comes during Prostate Awareness Month. He wants men to know the facts. He urges everyone to see a doctor for early detection. The former president spoke out with a personal message.

He revealed that the cancer was found after he had urinary symptoms. A nodule was found in his prostate. Doctors discovered the issue in May 2025. The cancer had already spread to his bones. His Gleason score was a 9. This is the highest grade group. Per New York Post — Politics, he completed his treatment course in October.

Biden wrote a long message on social media about the diagnosis. He shared a hard truth with the public. It had already spread to my bones by the time we found it. He noted that early detection changes the outcome. Close to 100% is the five-year survival when prostate cancer is caught early. That is the key number for every man to remember.


His son, Hunter Biden, has also spoken about the situation. Hunter gave an interview to the BBC about his father's struggle. He described the pain his father has faced. Hunter stated, "The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further." He called the illness "very painful."

He added that the condition is "very debilitating in many respects." Hunter also shared his own feelings on watching his father suffer. He said, "It's really sad to watch." The former president is now 83 years old. He has been dealing with this serious illness since the diagnosis was announced. Per RedState, his office stated the cancer was hormone-sensitive. This gave doctors options to manage the disease.

Biden thanked his medical team for their help. He praised their work in a public statement. "Their skill, dedication, and compassion mean so much." He confirmed he is still active. He is working on his memoir. The book is scheduled to be published in November. He noted, "The radiation treatment from last fall worked as intended, and I continue to do the things I care about, like finishing my memoir."

The former president is asking men to take charge of their health. He says men his age are often not tested for this disease. He wants that to change. He believes sharing their story can help others. We can help save lives by sharing our experience and being part of this important conversation, which is my hope and prayer. He gave clear instructions to the public. "Talk to your doctors. Ask the hard questions."

He urged men to act for their families. Do it for the people who love you, and do it for yourself. This message comes as he prepares for a public event. He is expected to join other former presidents at Ground Zero. They will mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. This will happen on Friday in Lower Manhattan. The focus remains on getting checked early. The statistics show survival rates are high when found in time.
