What Does It Mean for Biden's Prostate Cancer to Be 'Aggressive'? A Urologic Surgeon Explains

  • In May 2025, former President Joe Biden was found to have an advanced prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones.
  • The diagnosis came after he experienced urinary symptoms, and the cancer is classified with a Gleason score of 9, corresponding to the highest and most aggressive grade group 5.
  • Prostate cancer is staged from localized to metastatic , with stage 4 indicating cancer has spread to distant sites like bones.
  • Stage 4 aggressive prostate cancer has about a 38% five-year relative survival rate, compared to nearly 100% for early-stage localized aggressive cancer confined to the prostate.
  • Biden and his family are reviewing treatment options, while advances in genomics and imaging offer better personalization and hope even in aggressive cases.
