The recent announcement of former President Joe Biden's diagnosis with advanced prostate cancer has led to questions about whether he misled the public regarding his health. President Trump has voiced suspicions over the timing of the diagnosis, suggesting it signals neglect in informing the public. Biden's cancer is classified as aggressive, with a Gleason score of 9, indicating a high level of severity. The family is now assessing treatment options while the average survival rate for late-stage prostate cancer stands at 28%.
"I'm surprised that the public wasn't notified a long time ago," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Why did it take so long? This takes a long time. It can take years to get this level of danger..."
Biden's office said in a statement on Sunday that the former president was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones.
Doctors graded Biden's cancer with a score of 9 under the Gleason classification system... indicating it is among the most aggressive kinds.
Late-stage prostate cancer has an average five-year survival rate of 28 percent, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
