Former President Joe Biden is encouraging men to get screened for prostate cancer as he continues to battle the illness himself. Biden shared an update on his condition, stating that his treatments have been effective. He expressed gratitude to his medical team for their care and announced that radiation treatment from last fall had the desired outcome.

Biden's prostate cancer had spread to his bones by the time it was detected. He is now using his experience to raise awareness about the importance of early detection. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and Biden is urging men to take proactive steps to prioritize their health. Further details about his experience and advocacy are available.
