Former United States President Joe Biden has started receiving radiation therapy for his prostate cancer diagnosed in May 2025.

“As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment, former president’s spokesperson told Reuters on Saturday, October 11.

The former president, who turns 83 next month, in September underwent a procedure known as Mohs surgery to remove cancerous cells from his skin.
