聲明指出，拜登上周因泌尿系統癥狀加劇而新發現一個前列腺結節，醫生在進一步評估后于16日診斷拜登患有前列腺癌。

聲明稱，雖然這是一種更具侵襲性的癌癥，但這種癌癥似乎對激素敏感，因此可以進行有效治療，拜登及其家人正在與他的醫生共同探討治療方案。

Biden, 82, was diagnosed on Friday after experiencing urinary symptoms, and he and his family are reviewing treatment options with doctors, according to the statement.

"While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management," his office said.
