Top Doctors Say it is “Inconceivable” that Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis Wasn’t Caught Sooner
Medical experts have declared it “inconceivable” that former President Joe Biden’s “aggressive” form of prostate cancer was not caught earlier by doctors. The Mail has more.
The 82 year-old’s office announced the devastating diagnosis on Sunday, saying the cancer had spread to his bones and his family were reviewing treatment options.
His cancer was given a Gleason score of nine and a Grade Group of five, a dire stage of the rapidly-spreading disease. The diagnosis came days after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate.
Many officials expressed heartfelt concern for the former President, with Donald Trump saying that he and First Lady Melania wished Biden “a fast and successful recovery”.
Donald Trump Jr appeared to break the political truce just hours after the announcement.
He questioned if there was a “coverup” by sharing a screengrab of a post from physician Dr Steven Quay, who called prostate cancer “the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases”.
Upon hearing the news, some of America’s top doctors also questioned how a former President could be diagnosed with late stage prostate cancer – which can be detected early with routine bloodwork recommended for all men over the age of 50.
“It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency,” wrote Dr Howie Forman, a Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, Public Health Management and Economics at Yale.
He noted that the test for prostate-specific antigen would have shown he had cancer “for some time before this diagnosis”, given how aggressive it is.
In February 2024, when Biden was the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee, his longtime physician Dr Kevin O’Connor deemed him “fit to serve” following a routine physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre.
Dr Forman noted that Biden “must have had a PSA test numerous times before” and concluded the late-stage diagnosis is “odd”.
In a follow-up post, the doctor questioned whether Biden had been through screening in the last 12 years and if he “had a normal PSA prior to [age] 70?”
“It’s just so odd to discover this with bone [metastasis] in a man of his stature and [with his] access to care,” Forman concluded.
