How was Joe Biden’s cancer not caught earlier?The news that the former president is battling an aggressive, stage-4 prostate cancer that has spread to the bone ignited a public debate about why a person with peerless access to medical care was diagnosed at such an advanced stage with a disease that is quite common in men his age.

Former President Joe Biden's last PSA test, a screening to potentially flag prostate cancer, was performed in 2014, according to his spokesperson. Newsweek reached out to Biden's office via online form on Tuesday for comment.

"The View" co-hosts clashed over revelations in the latest book on the cover-up of former President Biden's decline in office and some even slammed its co-author, CNN's Jake Tapper.

In May 2025, Donald Trump Jr. questioned on X how "Dr. Jill Biden" missed former President Joe Biden's aggressive metastatic cancer. Former U.S. first lady Jill Biden holds a doctorate in education. She is not a medical doctor. Donald Trump Jr. later wrote on X that he meant his comment to be sarcastic.
