Former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis has raised questions due to the timing and lack of earlier detection.
His last known PSA test was in 2014, and he had not been diagnosed with prostate cancer until recently.
The cancer, with a Gleason score of 9 and metastasis to the bone, is classified as hormone-sensitive, which could make it more treatable. Critics have questioned why it was not detected sooner despite multiple tests.
Biden’s family is reviewing treatment options, and public figures like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris have expressed support for his recovery.
