Biden Begins Radiation Therapy for Aggressive Prostate Cancer

 Biden Begins Radiation Therapy for Aggressive Prostate Cancer


Former president’s care enters a new phase with combined radiation and hormone treatment.

Washington, D.C., (insert date) —
Former President Joe Biden has begun a course of radiation therapy alongside ongoing hormone treatment for an aggressive form of prostate cancer, a spokesperson confirmed on Saturday. 

Biden was diagnosed in May 2025 with prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones; medical updates released at the time described the disease as aggressive and hormone-sensitive.  The radiation regimen is expected to run for about five weeks, according to the spokesperson’s statement and reporting by major outlets.   A White House (post-presidential) spokesperson said the treatments are part of a broader, coordinated plan of care and that Biden is receiving standard-of-care therapy appropriate to his diagnosis. 

Those close to the former president told reporters that he is “doing well” and responding to treatment, a person familiar with the matter said.  Earlier this year, Biden underwent Mohs surgery to remove skin cancer lesions from his forehead; his medical history in recent months has included several such procedures and regular physician checkups.

Why one of Trump’s favorite presidents sent troops to US cities

Why one of Trump’s favorite presidents sent troops to US cities The controversial decision that shaped American law and presidential power — and why Donald Trump often cites it as inspiration. Washington, D.C.,  Former President Donald Trump has frequently expressed admiration for past U.S. leaders who used “tough” tactics to maintain order. One of the presidents he has referenced most often is Dwight D. Eisenhower , who, in a defining moment of his presidency, sent federal troops into U.S. cities to enforce desegregation and restore civil stability. The historical episode Trump often points to occurred in 1957 , when President Eisenhower dispatched the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas , after state officials refused to comply with a Supreme Court ruling that ordered the integration of public schools. “Eisenhower showed strength,” Trump said in a 2020 campaign rally, citing the incident as an example of “federal leadership in chaotic times.” However, hist...
