Doctors assigned Biden a severity score of 9, indicating his cancer is aggressive and has spread to the bone, making it treatable but not curable, with patients living around four to five years on average.
Biden is currently reviewing treatment options with his doctors, reflecting the serious but manageable nature of metastatic prostate cancer in older men.
