According to local media in the U.S., a spokesman for former President Biden said in a statement that `Last week, President Joe Biden received medical attention after a new prostate nodule was found after his urination symptoms worsened"On the 16th, he explained that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which was specified with a 'Gleason score' of 9 (grade group 5), and that cancer cells had spread to the bone." "This indicates a more aggressive form, but effective management is possible because the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive..." he added. "(Former Biden) President Biden and his family are considering treatment options with their doctors."
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), prostate cancer is a cancer with a high incidence that 13 out of 100 U.S. men are diagnosed during their lifetime.
The malignancy of prostate cancer is usually expressed by the Gleason score, which is calculated by summing the two main patterns of cancer cells found in prostate biopsy. These scores range from 2 to 10, and higher scores mean that cancer cells are more different from normal cells and are more likely to grow or metastasize rapidly. If the score is 2 to 6 points, it is classified as a 'low-risk group' with a good prognosis, a Gleeson score of 7 to 10 points, and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood level of 20 or higher, it is classified as a 'high-risk group' with a bad prognosis.
