Former US President Joe Biden was diagnosed on Friday with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, which metastasized in the bones, as a spokesman announced on Sunday. He and his family checked the treatment options with doctors, it said from his office. Biden was diagnosed on Friday after he felt symptoms of urination. “Although it is a more aggressive form of the disease, cancer seems to be sensitive to hormone, which enables effective treatment,” said his office.
