America’s leading experts have been weighing in on the news that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer.
The news has led to allegations of a “cover-up” due to the cancer’s advanced stage so soon after Biden left the White House.
His cancer was given a Gleason score of 9 and a Grade Group of 5, a devastating stage of the rapidly spreading disease.
The diagnosis came days after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a routine health exam.
However, several doctors have argued that it’s “inconceivable” for Biden to have such an advanced form of cancer that wasn’t spotted during his presidency.
First Son Donald Trump Jr. accused Biden’s team of a “cover-up.”
Trump Jr. shared a screengrab of a post from physician Dr. Steven Quay.
Quay called prostate cancer “the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases.”
Some of America’s top doctors also questioned how a former president could be diagnosed with a late-stage of prostate cancer.
As many have noted, prostate cancer can be detected early with routine bloodwork recommended for all men over the age of 50.
In a post on X, Dr. Howie Forman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, public health management, and economics at Yale, wrote:
“It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency.”
He noted that the test for prostate-specific antigen would have shown he had cancer “for some time before this diagnosis,” given how aggressive it is.
In February 2024, when Biden was the presumptive Democrat nominee, his longtime physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, deemed him “fit to serve.”
O’Connor provided the assessment following a routine physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Yale radiologist Dr. Forman noted that Biden “must have had a PSA test numerous times before.”
He concluded that Biden’s late-stage diagnosis is “odd.”
In a follow-up post, the doctor questioned whether Biden “really never had screening these past dozen years” or if he has always “had a normal PSA prior to [age] 70?”
“It’s just so odd to discover this with bone [metastasis] in a man of his stature and [with his] access to care,” Forman concluded.
Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel also seemed confused about how Biden’s diagnosis could suddenly emerge.
“This was found by physical examination by a prostate exam,” Siegel said Sunday night.
“A lot of times, we find an elevation in prostate-specific antigen, PSA, and then we go after it.”
Siegel noted that he tests all of his male patients over the age of 45 for the disease.
Once a test comes back for an increased PSA, Siegel said he automatically orders an MRI for the patient.
After an MRI, a decision is made about whether to conduct a biopsy.
But in Biden’s case, doctors only performed a biopsy once he claimed he was experiencing urinary issues.
Siegel said this is a sign that the cancer has already spread.
During the early stages of the disease, patients often do not experience any symptoms, he explained.
“I mean, he must have had the best possible care here,” the doctor said of the White House.
“I’m a little taken aback that it’s this far advanced.”
“It would be really surprising if they weren’t doing a very close screening on this because everybody knows in the medical community that this is the one cancer in men you really look out for,” Siegel continued.
He added that even though Biden “doesn’t seem to have a lot of risk factors” for the disease, he is 82 years old.
“So that’s a big risk factor,” Siegel noted.
Similarly, on News Nation, urologist Dr. David Shusterman said it is “unheard of” for someone with Biden’s stage of cancer to not know about it beforehand.
“It’s very unlikely that someone could get annual checkups and not notice,” he said.
Shusterman added that Biden is a former president who “had state-of-the-art care.”
“It’s unusual to hear that someone has prostate cancer when they’re annually being followed up,” Shusterman explained.
“The fact that we find it at a Gleason 9 is unheard of.”
He went on to assert that the former president “most likely had it for a long time,” noting the aggressive form has to spread over several years.
In the end, Shusterman concluded that there is “definitely evidence that he knew about this for a while.”
Dr. Steven Quay went even further.
In a post on X, Quay declared:
“It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure, and the American people were uninformed.”
He explained that prostate cancer is the “easiest… to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases.”
“For even with the most aggressive form, it is a five to seven year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic,” Quay noted.
“Meaning it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and first be diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025.”
Quay’s comments were shared by Trump Jr., who questioned, “How did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer, or is this yet another coverup??”
TikTokker JD Sharp replied to Trump Jr.’s post by claiming the Sunday announcement of Biden’s diagnosis “is an effort to push the fact that Biden was running the country as a vegetable under the rug.”
“Without question,” Trump Jr. wrote back.
Others also argued that the Biden administration may have covered up his cancer diagnosis, even as he ran for re-election.
In a post on X, conservative commentator Benny Johnson wrote:
“This is the most dangerous cover-up in the history of the presidency.”
Johnson pointed to the February 2024 note in which the former president’s doctor declared him “fit to serve.”
“Last summer, White House Physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor swore to the American people that Joe Biden was ‘completely fit for the presidency’ – no issues, nothing to see,” Johnson wrote.
“Advanced prostate cancer takes +10 years to develop to the stage where Biden’s diagnosis is.
“Prostate cancer is also *easy* to find…
“You’re telling me that the best doctors and testing on Earth did not *find* Biden’s cancer in all these years of testing?
“Was every medical report a lie? For how long?”
He then went on to assert that those in Biden’s White House “knew.”
“They lied. They hid it. For power,” Johnson said.
“People need to be held accountable for this.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Turbo Cancer from the shot???
Are they using this as a Distraction ?
Perhaps many Covid Boosters caused turbo cancer and it developed and metastasized between yearly exams?
Democrats and media are the same. No use for the scum they both are. Those who post legacy media are supporting them financially as those who watch.
The guy who holds the title of POTUS has the best doctors in the world.
They didn’t “miss” this!
This was part of the corruption of our political process.
This was a big F U to the Red, White and Blue!
If you spent 4 years covering up an incapacitating and increasing dementia, then what’s a little hidden cancer diagnosis to go with it?
The bigger question is, what else have they covered up?
Yes! He’s had this for decades. Probably been treated for it too.
Easy diagnosis and this guys married to a doctor!!
Partially.
They hope this distracts form the previous story of his dementia and the subsequent cover-up. But in reality it just adds gasoline to the fire.................
Her ‘doctorate’ is in Education................
They should sue the WH physician if missed. But they won’t. This is a coverup.
PHD not an M.D.
“ Probably been treated for it too.”
Agreed. And they did not reveal his treatment, either.
He did say he had “oil cancer”
Even with that, review of bloodwork history should have shown changing PSA numbers. If he didn’t know and was not complicit with covering it up? Fun.
Biden might have had FDR-level ego - willing to die in office rather than give up reins of power.
Well, they DID give him 10 or so CovidBS-19 shots...whether he knew it or NOT!
*Rolleyes*
"Dr." Jill Biden isn't a physician. She got some kind of honorary Ph.D degree somewhere . . . probably in a box of Cracker Jacks.
Another day, another Biden lie.
“Last summer, WH Physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor swore to the American people that Joe Biden was ‘completely fit for the presidency’ – no issues, nothing to see,” Johnson wrote. Yet, Prostate cancer is easy to find….......and advanced prostate cancer takes +10 years to develop to the stage where Biden’s diagnosis is today.
Biden should get an Academy Award in the “Keeping My *** Out of Prison” category
It’s a moment of immeasurable joy b/c the recording bolsters conservative outrage wrt Biden’s mental acuity and that the Delaware Democrat was unfit to lead the country as president.
It’s the law of unintended consequences.
The recording specifically impacts the pardons Biden allegedly signed by “autopen” in the waning days of his administration....including son Hunter Biden, his crime family and their spouses, retired Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and House committee staff members.
I don’t care so much that they were covering up his cancer as I do the fact they were covering up his advanced stages of dementia.
As if the whole world didn’t already know that he was demented.
