**Biden Camp Responds to Trump’s Doubts About Prostate Cancer Diagnosis**

**WASHINGTON D.C. -** Following public skepticism, including doubts voiced by former President Donald Trump, Joe Biden’s office has released a statement clarifying the timeline of his recent prostate cancer diagnosis. The statement asserts that Biden had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer before last week, and his last known prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, used to screen for the disease, was conducted in 2014.

Trump had questioned the timing of Biden’s announcement, suggesting the public should have been informed “a long time ago” and implying a possible cover-up, stating, “Somebody is not telling the facts, and that’s a big problem.”

Biden’s office revealed on Sunday that the 82-year-old had been diagnosed with prostate cancer which spread to his bones. The cancer was reported to have a Gleason score of 9, indicating an aggressive form of the disease.

While some have questioned the delayed diagnosis given Biden’s access to medical care, experts point out that routine prostate cancer screening is not typically recommended for men over 70 due to potential quality-of-life issues associated with unnecessary treatment.

“It is entirely reasonable, albeit sad, that even a person of President Biden’s position may present with a new diagnosis of prostate cancer that is metastatic at his age,” said Dr. Adam Weiner, an urologic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Other experts, like Nick James of The Institute of Cancer Research in London, have also stated Biden’s late diagnosis to be plausible given that certain aggressive cancers can evade screening processes.

The announcement comes amid renewed scrutiny of Biden’s health and age, issues that plagued his presidency and re-election campaign. A recently released book, “Original Sin,” by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson, details alleged efforts by Biden’s team to conceal his physical and mental decline while in office. The book includes allegations of Biden not being able to recognize George Clooney during a fundraiser.

This latest development ensures that concerns about Biden’s health will remain a focal point in the political discourse.
