Biden is seriously ill. How much time does he have left?

This was reported by The New York Times, citing the discovery of a small nodule on the politician's prostate. Despite the severity of the diagnosis, the medical team remains optimistic. Biden's press secretary stated that the progression of the disease allows for hope of successful treatment, especially given the tumor's sensitivity to hormone therapy. Currently, the former president is undergoing additional examinations to determine the optimal treatment plan.

«The President and his family are considering treatment options together with their doctors,» — Biden's representative noted.

Recall that Biden, who served as president from 2021 to 2025, became the oldest elected president in US history. In the past, he underwent brain aneurysm surgery and was successfully treated for basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer) in 2020.

What do experts say about prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is one of the most common oncological diseases in men. When detected early, as in Biden's case, the prognosis is often favorable. However, for patients over 75, the prognosis is usually less optimistic.

Oncologists emphasize that metastatic prostate cancer requires a comprehensive treatment approach. Modern methods can significantly improve quality of life and extend it even in advanced stages of the disease. The prognosis depends on many factors, such as the tumor's response to therapy and the patient's overall health.

Other health issues of Biden

In recent years, the politician's health has repeatedly been a topic of discussion. During his presidency, instances of balance loss, verbal slips, confusion, and memory problems were observed.

During an investigation related to the handling of classified documents, a prosecutor described Biden as an elderly man with memory issues. According to him, during questioning, the former president even forgot important family dates.

Last year, Biden withdrew from the presidential race amid concerns about his health. In February 2024, doctors reported that the politician suffers from sleep apnea. There were also suggestions of progressive dementia, which, however, were denied by the White House.
