Former US President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has reportedly progressed beyond his bones, with his son Hunter Biden describing the illness as "very painful" and "very debilitating." The comments were made during a BBC Newsnight interview in August 2026. Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025 and later underwent radiation treatment and hormone therapy. His official spokesman declined to comment on Hunter Biden's latest remarks.
