Joe Biden has cancer. What does Gleason Score show?

Former US President Joe Biden at the age of 82 was diagnosed with prostate cancer, confirmed his office. The announcement is made after he started the symptoms of urine procedures at the beginning of this week. The medical assessment of his condition resulted in a Gleason score of 9 of 10, which indicates an aggressive form of the disease.

In an explanation of his office it was found that bidens led to an immediate medical consultation that confirmed the presence of prostate cancer. This diagnosis contributes to a number of health challenges with which the former president has faced in recent years.

Public personalities such as Donald Trump, Melania Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starrer and Barack and Michelle Obama have extended their wishes for bidens faster recovery.

What is Gleason Score?

The Gleason score is a system that is used to degenerate prostate cancer based on what the cancer cells look like under a microscope. The classification ranges from 1 to 5, with degree 1 normal tissue resembles and degrees 5 appears highly abnormal.

“The number of points comes from two patterns of cancer cells – each between 1 and 5 – and then put together,” said the clinical oncologist Dr. Jovita Martin Daniel. “For example, a number of points of 7 could mean a primary class 3 and a secondary class 4,” she said.

Bidens score of 9 suggests that both the primary and secondary patterns are high and indicate a rapidly growing and possibly more dangerous cancer.

Understand prostate cancer

Prostate cancer comes from the prostate, a glandular organ in men. “All abnormal cells that develop from this gland form what is called adenocarcinoma,” said Dr. Jovita clear.

As a rule, the symptoms of prostate cancer over 40 men affect difficulties in urination, an increased frequency of urination – especially at night (nocturia) – a weak urine current and in some cases blood in urine or sperm.

In advanced stages, the disease can lead to bone pain. “Prostate cancer can spread over the spine via the Batson plexus and often cause bone lesions,” added Dr. Jovita added.

Former health butt

According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer -related deaths in American men. It is expected that one of eight men will experience this cancer in the course of his life.

This is not Biden's first encounter with cancer. In 2023 he had a lesion removed from his chest and later identified as basal cell carcinoma – a common and less aggressive form of skin cancer.

In 2015, Biden added his eldest son, Beau Biden, to a personal dimension.

A message of resilience

With the inputs of support, the diagnosis of biden increases the importance of early detection and resistance in the face of serious illness.

This struggle is very personal for bidges and one that reminds us all of the importance of early detection and resilience.
