The prostate cancer that former US President Joe Biden is suffering from has spread beyond his bones and is very painful, his son, Hunter Biden, has announced in an interview with the BBC.
"The cancer has spread, metastasized to his bones and beyond," Hunter Biden told BBC's "Newsnight," according to a video posted online on Friday.
"It's very painful and very debilitating in many ways." A spokesman for the 83-year-old Democrat declined to comment on Hunter Biden's interview on Saturday.
The former president revealed in May 2025, less than four months after leaving the White House, that he had been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer, saying at the time that it had spread to his bones.
A Biden spokesman said in October that he was undergoing radiation treatment and hormone therapy.
Biden was the oldest person to win the US presidency at the time of his election in 2020.
