Medical Experts Question Biden's Cancer Diagnosis

  • 💡 Several doctors have expressed disbelief, calling it ‘inconceivable’ that former President Joe Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer went undetected by his medical team.
  • 🎯 The diagnosis, revealed on Sunday, found a small nodule on his prostate during an exam earlier this month, with cancer cells already spread to the bone.
  • 🔑 The cancer was given a Gleason score of nine, indicating a highly aggressive form, which experts find rare for someone with Biden's access to regular, high-quality medical care.

Concerns Over Detection and Malpractice

  • 🔬 Medical experts state it is extremely rare for prostate cancer to be discovered at such a late stage, especially with routine check-ups.
  • ⚠️ Dr. Howard Foreman noted that a Gleason grade nine would typically show up through elevated PSA levels in blood tests much earlier.
  • 🩺 Dr. Steven Quay suggested that even aggressive forms take years to metastasize, implying Biden likely had the disease for a significant period, and called it malpractice if this is the first discovery.
  • 🏥 Dr. David Schusterman described the situation as “pretty much unheard of” in modern medicine, typically seen only in patients without medical attention for over a decade.

Speculation and Biden's Treatment

  • 💬 Donald Trump Jr. speculated on Truth Social about a potential cover-up, questioning if Dr. Jill Biden was aware of the diagnosis.
  • ⚡ Biden's team disclosed the diagnosis followed urinary symptoms and that the cancer appears hormone-sensitive, allowing for effective management.
  • ✅ The former president and his family are currently reviewing treatment options with his medical team.
