Former President Joe Biden It is diagnosed with a “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has a five -year survival rate of between 30% and 40%.
The former President’s prostate cancer is characterized by Gleason’s score 9 and a group of grades 5 with bone metastases, indicating that “pretty far advanced”, Fox News Senior Medical Analyst Dr. Marc Siegel he said to the “Fox report”.
“It’s the most aggressive guy,” Siegel said. “That means he has the biggest risk of spread – which he obviously had.”
Biden is also presented with urinary symptoms, which is another sign that cancer is advanced. Prostate cancer is often represented as asymptomatically in its early stages, he said.

“This The physical examination was found in the prostate exam, “Siegel said.” Many times we find an altitude in the antigen specific to the prostate, the dog, and then we follow him … I mean, he had to worry best here. I’m a little amazed at being so far advanced. “
Siegel said he spends an antigen specific to a prostate, or a dog, testing every man over 45 years of age. The test measures how many dogs are in blood and is primarily used to check prostate cancer, according to Mayo Clinic.

Although the PSA test is not always the perfect indicator of prostate cancer, someone who has an increase in the dog automatically gets MRI, Siegel said. After MRI, a decision is made about whether to implement a biopsy.
More than 80% of men over the age of 80 have some prostate cancer cells in their body, Siegel states.
“It would be really surprising if they didn’t do a very close projection about it because everyone knows in Medical community That this is one of the cancer in the men you really care about, “he said.” … It seems that there are not many risk factors that I would think about except age, but the age is enough and is 82 years old, so it is a big risk factor. “
Doctors are likely to treat bideline hormone therapy, Siegel said. They can also try to radiate a lesion located on the bone or completely remove the prostate.

“Sometimes they decide to make more than one therapy,” Siegel said. “They could try to remove the prostate, to do radiation and hormone therapy. This is not uncommon.”
There are two types medicines It is used to treat this type of advanced prostate cancer – Lupron, which stops testosterone production, and a casodex, which stops testosterone binding. The side effects of medication can leave people to feel “tired and embarrassing” according to Siegel.

“ Another thing that makes me worried is bone pain, because those metastases on the bones can be quite painful, “he said.
If the cancer is caught early while still localized in the prostate gland, it is cured “most of the time,” Siegel said.

“The goal is to get it before leaving the prostate, “Siegel said.” When he left the prostate, it becomes much harder to heal. “
