US EditionBiden's last prostate cancer blood test was in 2014, spokesperson says
- Former President Joe Biden announced on May 18, 2025, that he has stage 4 prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
- The most recent prostate cancer screening President Biden underwent was a PSA blood test in 2014, when he was 72 years old—an age at which routine testing is generally not advised.
- Critics, including Donald Trump, questioned whether Biden or his aides concealed the diagnosis, while his office issued a brief statement without disclosing the 2014 PSA results.
- Biden's spokesman reported the cancer is hormone-sensitive, allowing for effective management despite it being incurable at the metastatic stage.
- The diagnosis has increased public awareness of prostate cancer screening, though experts emphasize the disease is highly survivable if caught early but not curable after spreading.
