💨 Abstract

Former President Joe Biden's office revealed that his last known prostate cancer screening was in 2014, and he was only diagnosed last week. His cancer has spread to his bones and is incurable but treatable. Critics, including former President Donald Trump, have questioned why the diagnosis wasn't disclosed earlier. Guidelines generally advise against prostate cancer screening for men over 70 due to potential side effects, although Biden is 82. Early detection of prostate cancer significantly improves survival rates.
