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