Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread and is causing him pain, Hunter Biden says

Former US President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread to other parts of his body, including his bones, and is causing him pain. His son, Hunter Biden, revealed this information in an interview with the BBC, describing his father's condition as "very sad to watch" and saying that the cancer is "very painful and very debilitating".

Joe Biden, 83, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025, and has been undergoing radiation treatment and hormone therapy. His health has been a concern, particularly his advanced age, which was a factor in his decision not to seek re-election.

Hunter Biden expressed a wish for his father to complain more about his condition, but noted that despite his health issues, Joe Biden remains active in public life, speaking out on issues that are important to him.
