Joe Biden's office has clarified that he was not diagnosed with prostate cancer prior to recent reports, stating that his last blood test for it occurred more than ten years ago. Former President Trump expressed skepticism regarding the timing of Biden's diagnosis, questioning why it took so long to announce it and commenting on its seriousness. While some medical professionals doubt the lack of prior diagnosis due to Biden's access to healthcare, others highlight that regular screening for prostate cancer isn't typically recommended for men over 70, which complicates the matter.
Biden's last known PSA was in 2014, referring to the prostate-specific antigen test used to detect prostate cancer.
Trump said he was surprised that the public had not been notified about Biden's diagnosis a long time ago.
Doctors have expressed doubt Biden, 82, was not diagnosed earlier given his access to the best medical care.
Screening is generally not recommended for men of his age, and some cancers do not show up in tests.
