Joe Biden was diagnosed Friday with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, a spokesman said on Sunday.
The diagnosis came after doctors found a “small nodule” on Mr. Biden’s prostate that required “further evaluation.”
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” the spokesman said in a statement. “The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”

Former President Joe Biden, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May, completed a course of radiation treatment Monday, his office said.
Biden underwent several weeks of treatment, according to his office.
It was not immediately clear whether Biden, 82, will require additional treatment or measures for his care.
Biden’s daughter Ashley Biden posted a video on her Instagram story of the former president at a University of Pennsylvania medical facility ringing the bell — a tradition for cancer patients marking the completion of, or reaching a major milestone of, cancer treatment.
A spokesperson for Biden told NBC News this month that Biden was undergoing “radiation therapy and hormone treatment.” It was expected to span five weeks.
Separately, Biden last month underwent a skin cancer treatment known as Mohs surgery, which involves cutting away layers of skin to address a malignancy. He was seen in public at the time wearing a bandage on his forehead.
