It is paramount that the American people trust that the commander-in-chief and candidate for the highest office in the country receives a comprehensive, complete, and transparent examination. This includes all of the necessary blood work, physical, and diagnostic assessments that would give the nation a reliable understanding of the individual’s physical fitness to lead the world.
While there is an inclination to link President Biden’s diagnosis of prostate cancer to the obvious cover-up of his mental decline, we must also query the trustworthiness of the level of expert care he received while in office. At the same time, it is also relevant to question whether President Biden himself refused certain tests or examinations.
As a practicing board-certified urologist for over 30 years, I am disappointed to learn that President Biden’s diagnosis was only recently prompted by onset symptoms. Generally, when symptoms prompt diagnostic evaluations, the cancer is already advanced. While most prostate cancers grow slowly and indolently, on rare occasions, they can develop and metastasize rapidly. It is much more advantageous for treatment to detect the disease early with a basic prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a follow-up rectal examination. That is why the revelation that the last PSA test he received was in 2014 is so concerning.
A 2024 memorandum by Dr. Kevin O’Connor, former Physician to the President of the United States, summarizing Biden’s health following his comprehensive physical notably lacked a prostate screening. There is debate regarding the necessity of screening for prostate cancer, especially in individuals over the age of 70, however, no evaluation should be left off the list for the leader of the free world. In this case, perhaps Biden himself refused a screening just as he did a cognitive exam.
Speculation about President Biden’s diagnosis is understandably driven by efforts to cover up his cognitive decline by his White House staff, family, and many in the mainstream media. The timing is also auspicious, with the announcement coming after the release of the audio of his troubling interview with Special Counsel Hur and two days before Original Sin, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s explosive book on Biden’s decline, becomes publicly available. However, absent the answers to the questions asked above, it is medically reckless to assume his diagnosis has been concealed for political reasons.
Prostate cancer cells are common in men over the age of 50, but are neutralized by the body under normal circumstances. In fact, autopsy studies show an over 30% incidence of prostate cancer cells in individuals over the age of 80. But as the adage goes, most men die with prostate cancer, not from it.
President Biden’s cancer has been growing for years, but was not diagnosed until symptoms appeared. It has been reported that his prostate cancer is ‘hormone-sensitive.’ If this is true, then his original diagnosis could have occurred as late as around six weeks ago with the use of a drug called Firmagon. The real question revolves around when, in the course of this disease, he had his biopsy. Without knowing this information, most opinions are merely conjectures, adding little value to the discussion.
The American people deserve to be confident in the well-being of the President of the United States and the supervision of his medical team. President Biden’s legacy is taking a beating right now, and transparency about this issue could serve to help reverse its decline.

This is premised on the assumption that team Biden is telling the truth about him having advanced PC.
I believe nothing.
That's the part I think is ridiculous.
“That is why the revelation that the last PSA test he received was in 2014 is so concerning.”
Impossible .
That’s a very basic test that any man over a certain age has done as part of a physical.
I am over 70 and I am more familiar than I ever wanted to be with the PSA story.
My point was, "leave no stone unturned" when it's a public official is a position taken by people who have no idea how many stones there are to turn over.
You have to draw the line somewhere.
“You have to draw the line somewhere.”
I have a hard time believing that the line is on this side of annual PSA tests.
Well, as I’ve said before, my theory is, they know he has something that is killing him and they thought they could hide it from the people for eight years and keep him alive in the interim or have a robot replace him or something similar.
But they’ve been treating him at that beach house with chemotherapy or something. I think that Beach House was really a hospital. I wish the FBI could get inside that building and interview their staff and Secret Service.
Needed a biopsy of prostate...psa values are not the end of diagnosis. Needed an MRI before the biopsy....
The wh is not telling the timeline and tests. Gleason score of 9 indicates a biopsy was done. Biden shoulda’ have taken care of this in 2015. They kept this secret so no further questions about his health would be asked . Complete dishonesty of Obama, Biden, DNC. SHOULD NEVER, EVER BE TRUSTED ON ANYTHING.Jill should be investigated for elder abuse.
"It was the Oil Cancer."
There is debate regarding the necessity of screening for prostate cancer...

So much misinformation about the PSA test... see my post 28 at this link. And be sure to click one of the links I provided to see what the ‘inventer’ of the PSA test (Dr. Stamey) thought of it after he had done a few more years of research.
