A former Biden doctor claims the ex-president lived with undiagnosed prostate cancer for many years, including while in office.
A prominent oncologist has made a startling revelation about President Joe Biden’s health.
He claims the former president was likely battling cancer while still in office.
The White House confirmed Biden’s cancer diagnosis.
Over the weekend, the White House publicly confirmed that Joe Biden had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Biden’s increased urinary symptoms led to a thorough medical evaluation and cancer diagnosis.
The result was a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer, described as aggressive and having already spread to the bone.
His medical report showed a Gleason score of 9, meaning a Grade Group 5, highly abnormal and fast-growing cancer.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” the statement read.
“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management.
The former President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
Biden’s doctor claims former President lived with undiagnosed prostate cancer for many years
On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel spoke about Biden’s health.
He claimed the cancer had likely been developing for many years.
“This is not something that arose in a few months. It’s very probable he had it during his presidency,” Dr. Emanuel stated.
He added that such a high Gleason score usually indicates a prolonged period of undiagnosed disease progression.
Emanuel suggested Biden may have been living with prostate cancer as early as 2021, when he first assumed the presidency.
Emanuel did not directly accuse the administration of concealment.
However, he hinted at a lack of transparency in medical reporting, echoing past criticisms of presidential health disclosures.
“He’s had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading. So He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days.”
“He had it while he was president. He probably had it at the start of his presidency in 2021. Yes, I don’t think there’s any disagreement about that,” Emanuel said.
PSA testing protocols come under scrutiny
A significant part of the discussion focused on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, a common screening method for prostate cancer.
Emanuel noted that many guidelines advise against PSA testing after age 70.
However, Biden had frequent medical exams as Vice President, likely allowing earlier detection opportunities.
“I don’t know what President Biden and his doctor discussed, but I think you are hinting at the other element, which is that President Obama had this test, President Bush had this test,” he said.
“It is a little surprising that the doctor didn’t take it. And if he took it and didn’t report it and it was elevated, that is another case of doctors not being straightforward with us.”
Implications of aggressive prostate cancer
The diagnosis of a Gleason 9 tumor signifies a cancer that is both aggressive and likely to metastasize.
Emanuel stressed the high Gleason score shows aggressive cancer, already spreading to Biden’s bones.
Despite the severity, the cancer is reportedly hormone-sensitive, allowing for various treatment options.
He added: “When we talk about the aggressive part, what we mean is that the Gleason score, that score is from two up to 10. And he’s a nine.
And that means that the cancer doesn’t look normal, it looks very abnormal, which is probably why it’s in the bone.”
