Joe Biden is undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment for an aggressive prostate cancer diagnosed in May. The cancer had metastasized to bone and was characterized as hormone-sensitive, indicating a likely response to treatment. He previously underwent Mohs surgery in September to remove cancerous skin cells; physicians reported that all cancerous tissue from that procedure was successfully removed and no further treatment was required for that issue.

He is doing well, will turn 83 next month, and treatment is intended to manage the disease effectively while monitoring his condition.
