Overview

  • A routine physical exam at a Philadelphia hospital revealed a small nodule on Joe Biden’s prostate, according to a spokesperson.
  • Further diagnostic testing, including an MRI and biopsy, is planned to determine whether the nodule is benign or malignant.
  • Prostate nodules are common in aging men and may result from benign conditions, inflammation, or potentially cancer.
  • This discovery comes after Biden’s history of basal cell carcinoma removal in 2023, with no recurrence reported since.
  • Biden, the oldest U.S. president in history, has faced ongoing public scrutiny of his health, particularly during and after his presidency.
