The diagnosis of prostate cancer in former President Joe Biden has sparked discussions among medical experts, highlighting the recent advancements in prostate cancer treatment options. Many urologists expressed surprise over Biden's diagnosis, especially at such an advanced stage. However, significant progress has been made over the past decade, with new minimally invasive treatments allowing for extended life and improved quality of living. These innovations include the shift from uncomfortable injections to oral medications, emphasizing the importance of regular screenings for early detection of prostate cancer.

"It is surprising that this wasn't caught, or it was caught at such an aggressive stage," said Dr. Arpeet Shah.
