Kamala Harris<\/strong> took the Democratic Party’<\/strong>s nomination but was defeated by Donald Trump<\/strong>, who returned to the presidency after a four-year absence.<\/p>\n The former U.S. president<\/strong> had tried to dispel these rumors in the past, but a recent book claims that his team hid his physical and cognitive decline. He was treated for several conditions, including skin cancer<\/strong>. In 2022, he launched an ambitious national strategy to fight cancer <\/strong>in tribute to his son, Beau<\/strong>, who lost his life to the disease.<\/p>\n Prostate cancer<\/strong> is classified on the Gleason scale (1-10) <\/strong>according to how aggressive the cells are. Biden had a score of 9<\/strong>, indicating a highly aggressive form of the disease. In advanced cases, it can spread to the bones, which complicates treatment. If the cancer <\/strong>is hormone<\/strong>-dependent, hormone therapies can slow its progress.<\/p>\n “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be sensitive to hormones, allowing for effective treatment. Treatment options are being reviewed with his doctors,”<\/em> his office said at the end of the statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nJoe Biden’s health is in critical condition<\/h2>\n
