Former President Joe Biden is entering a new phase of treatment for the prostate cancer he was diagnosed with in May.
\nBiden is now undergoing radiation therapy, a spokesperson for the former president told Fox News on Saturday. Previously, he had been receiving routine scans, the spokesperson added.\u00a0
\n\u2018As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,\u2019 the spokesperson said.
\nBiden was diagnosed four months ago with an \u2018aggressive form\u2019 of metastatic prostate cancer after health officials detected a prostate nodule following increasing urinary symptoms. His office said the disease, though aggressive, is hormone-sensitive, meaning it may be effectively managed.<\/p>\n

Biden, who turns 83 years old next month, also underwent surgery on Sept. 4 to remove cancerous skin cells through a procedure known as Mohs surgery, according to his spokesperson.<\/p>\n

During his presidency, Biden had a cancerous skin lesion\u00a0removed from his chest, the White House previously said. Former White House physician Kevin O\u2019Connor noted in February 2023 that a biopsy of skin tissue taken during a health assessment revealed cancerous cells, all of which were successfully removed.<\/p>\n

Biden, who became the oldest U.S. president to serve in office, had placed a major focus on cancer treatment.
\nWhile in office, he and former first lady Jill Biden revamped the \u2018Cancer Moonshot\u2019 initiative to accelerate progress in cancer research. The project aimed to reduce the cancer death rate by 50% over the next 25 years.
\nIn 1988, Biden had two life-threatening brain aneurysms at 45 years old. Doctors said he had a 50% chance of surviving while serving as a U.S. senator for Delaware.
\nBiden\u2019s surgeries were successful, and there have been no\u00a0reports of an aneurysm since.
\nThe news of Biden\u2019s radiation treatment comes as President Donald Trump was reported to be in \u2018excellent overall health,\u2019 according to a memo released by the White House on Friday.
\nTrump underwent a routine semiannual physical last week at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.\u00a0
\nIn the evaluation summary, the president\u2019s physician, Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, stated that Trump, \u2018remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance.\u2019\u00a0
\nFox News Digital\u2019s Stepheny Price and Peter Doocy contributed to this report.<\/p>\n
