Joe Biden Undergoes Prostate Cancer Therapy, His Condition Reportedly Stable

JAKARTA - Former US president Joe Biden has undergone therapy against prostate cancer and is reportedly in good condition and has responded positively to the treatment he is undergoing, local media reports said.

The Washington Post, citing a source close to Biden, reported on Saturday that the former president was undergoing radiation and hormone therapy in the context of cancer treatment he was suffering from.

According to one of the sources, the treatment has been going on for the past few weeks and is still ongoing today.

Biden's medical treatment is currently being carried out in Philadelphia, according to a CBS media report on Saturday.

Joe Biden ended his duties as US 64th President in January and was replaced by Donald Trump.

Biden previously ran for a second term in the 2024 presidential election. However, he decided to step down as an election participant amid concerns over his mental condition, and he was replaced by Kamala Harris.

On May 18, Biden's private office announced that the 82-year-old former president was diagnosed with prostate cancer that was aggressive and had spread to his bones.
