Former President Joe Biden‘s late-stage prostate cancer diagnosis has ignited debate about early detection protocols and whether the White House health team failed the former commander-in-chief. Biden’s team revealed that he received a diagnosis last week following complaints of urinary issues.

Joe Biden’s statement on May 18th that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer is not all that surprising.

Last week his office said the cancer has metastasized to his bones, indicating it is an aggressive form of the cancer.
