Ex-President Joe Biden's cancer has spread, is very painful, son says
Hunter Biden has stated that his father, former U.S. President Joe Biden, is suffering from advanced prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. The 83-year-old former president is currently undergoing treatment for the painful condition.
Why it matters
The health status of a former U.S. president is a matter of significant public interest and historical record.
Former U.S. President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread beyond his bones and is very painful, his son, Hunter Biden, said in an interview with the BBC.
"The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further," Hunter Biden told BBC's "Newsnight," according to video posted online on Friday. "It's very painful and it's very debilitating in many respects."
A spokesman for the 83-year-old Democrat declined on Saturday to comment on Hunter Biden's interview.
