Trump and other leaders express support for Joe Biden's recovery from prostate cancer

Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 and metastasis to the bone. His diagnosis follows recent urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule finding.

Leaders from both parties have expressed their support. Donald Trump stated, 'Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,' wishing him a 'fast and successful recovery.'

Barack Obama also shared his thoughts, saying, 'Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe,' emphasizing Biden's resilience.

Kamala Harris remarked, 'Joe is a fighter — and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership.'

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, with an estimated 313,780 new cases expected this year, according to the National Institutes of Health. Biden's treatment options may include hormone therapy, which can effectively manage the disease.

As the nation rallies around Biden, many leaders emphasize that 'cancer knows no politics,' highlighting the universal nature of the struggle against the disease.
