FROM NBC News: Former President Joe Biden is undergoing a new phase of treatment for an aggressive form of cancer that was diagnosed in May, a spokesperson said Saturday.

“As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,” according to the spokesperson for the former president.

The radiation treatment is expected to span five weeks and marks a new point in his care, a source familiar told NBC News. He has already been taking a pill form of hormone medication.


In May, Biden announced that he had an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones.

The president was reported to be pursuing treatment options for “effective management” of the illness.

NBC notes that “multiple oncologists” said at the time that it was possible that Biden’s condition had gone undiagnosed for years.
