Radiation treatment will last five weeks and will be combined with hormone treatment
Former American President will undergo radiotherapy in a “next phase” of his treatment against reported the broadcaster “NBC” this Saturday (11).

The radiation treatment will last five weeks and will be combined with hormone treatment, the spokesperson said.
In early September, it became known that 82-year-old Biden had recently undergone surgery to remove cancer cells from his skin. Biden left in January as the oldest US president in office. During his tenure, there were doubts about his fitness to continue in the post due to his age and health. The former Democratic president withdrew from the race for reelection in mid-2024 to support the candidacy of his vice president, Kamala Harris, who was defeated at the polls by Donald Trump.
In early 2024, Biden’s personal doctor declared him fit to continue in office after a physical examination. In February 2023, Biden had a cancerous lesion on his chest removed in a successful operation, after which the then-White House doctor said no further treatment was needed.
