- Prostate cancer stages range from localized , locally advanced , to metastatic , where Biden's cancer is Stage 4 due to bone spread, considered advanced and aggressive.
- Nearly seven out of ten prostate cancer cases are diagnosed while the disease is still confined to the prostate, with early-stage patients experiencing nearly a 100% chance of surviving five years. In contrast, those with metastatic Stage 4 prostate cancer face a substantially lower five-year survival rate of approximately 38%.
- Treatment for metastatic prostate cancer usually focuses on stopping further spread, and Biden’s family is reviewing options amid ongoing assessments and genomic testing recommendations.
