Former US president Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, a statement from his office said on Sunday.

Biden, 82, was diagnosed on Friday after he saw a doctor last week for urinary symptoms.

The cancer is characterised by a Gleason score of 9 with metastasis to the bone, his office said, meaning it is a more aggressive form of the disease.

Biden and his family are said to be reviewing treatment options, the statement said. The former president’s office added that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, meaning it can likely be managed.
