Following the announcement that former President Joe Biden has an aggressive, late-stage prostate cancer, speculation has grown over whether his condition was concealed. Biden’s diagnosis—Gleason score 9 with bone metastasis—was revealed after he reported urinary symptoms.
Critics, including former President Donald Trump and several medical professionals, questioned how such an advanced case went undetected. Yale professor Dr. Howie Forman and Dr. Steven Quay emphasized that prostate cancer is typically easy to detect early through PSA tests, which are standard for men over 50. NBC contributor Dr. Vin Gupta noted Biden’s lack of accessible medical records. Fox News’ Dr. Marc Siegel expressed surprise at the cancer’s progression, saying PSA screenings usually catch such cases earlier. DOJ official and former Fox News contributor Leo Terrell even suggested Jill Biden could face criminal charges, implying elder abuse. The controversy has sparked broader concerns about transparency, health oversight, and whether Biden’s condition and cognitive status were knowingly hidden from the public.
