Doctor: There is treatment but no cure available for former President Biden's prostate cancer
Prostate cancer specialists said former US President Joe Biden's announcement that he has been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones means the cancer is no longer curable, but there are treatments that can control it, possibly for years.
Dr. Chris George, the medical director of the cancer program for the Northwestern Health Network, said prostate cancer is no longer curable once it spreads to the bones but that there are treatments that can control it.
Biden, 82, was diagnosed on Friday after experiencing urinary symptoms, and he and his family are reviewing treatment options with doctors, according to the statement.
