Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread 'into his bones', son Hunter says

The Jerusalem Post · back to the audit

Former US President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has metastasized, spreading beyond his bones and causing him significant pain, as revealed by his son, Hunter Biden, in a recent interview with the BBC.

Hunter mentioned, "The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further. It's very painful and debilitating in many respects." A spokesman for the 83-year-old former president declined to comment on Hunter Biden's statements.

In May 2025, Biden disclosed that he had been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer, just four months after leaving the White House. At that time, he indicated that the cancer had already spread to his bones.

By October, a Biden spokesman announced that the former president was undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment for the disease.

Biden's health was a topic of scrutiny throughout his presidency, which spanned from 2021 to 2025.

When he was elected in 2020, he became the oldest person to win the US presidency. Concerns regarding his age and health persisted, particularly toward the end of his term.

He concluded his presidency in January 2025 after serving one term.

Throughout his time in office, Biden's health, including questions about his fitness and mental acuity, remained a subject of public discussion.
