Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an «aggressive form» of prostate cancer.
Biden’s team shared a statement on Sunday that the former president was experiencing «increasing urinary symptoms» ahead of his diagnosis, which was characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (grade group 5) with «metastasis to the bone.»

Weight-loss medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which have gained popularity for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, have been shown to have the surprising secondary benefit of reducing alcohol intake.
A team of international researchers from Ireland and Saudi Arabia followed 262 adult patients with obesity who started taking two GLP-1 medications: liraglutide or semaglutide.
Among the regular drinkers, weekly alcohol intake decreased by 68%, from approximately 23 units of alcohol to around 8 units.

Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an «aggressive form» of prostate cancer that has a five-year survival rate of between 30% and 40%.
The former president's prostate cancer is characterized by a Gleason score of 9 and Grade Group 5 with bone metastasis, indicating that it is «pretty far advanced,» Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel said on ‘Fox Report.’
«It’s the most aggressive type,» Siegel said. «That means it has the highest risk of spread — which obviously he has had.»

Hormone therapy is used to block the effects of the hormones that fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells.
