# Former US president Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. The 82-year-old was diagnosed last Friday after he saw a doctor for urinary symptoms. Biden’s office says while this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management. It adds that the former president and his family are reviewing treatment options. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer affecting men, behind skin cancer.
