Former President Joe Biden has completed a course of radiation therapy aimed at treating an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
A spokesperson confirmed the development on Monday, describing it as a key milestone in Biden’s ongoing medical care.
Biden underwent several weeks of radiation treatment after receiving his diagnosis earlier this year. Specific details on the severity of the condition and the exact duration of therapy were not disclosed.
Doctors monitored Biden throughout the treatment period to manage possible side effects and complications. Reports indicate that he responded well to the therapy.
The completion of radiation marks progress, though continued monitoring is expected. Post-treatment checkups help ensure early detection of any recurrence, which is standard practice in prostate cancer management.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and is considered highly treatable, particularly when detected early.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells and is a widely accepted treatment for aggressive or early-stage cases.
