The Story in Brief
Hunter Biden told the BBC's Newsnight that his father's prostate cancer has metastasised beyond the bones and is causing severe pain. The former US president, 83, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease in May 2025, when it had already spread to his bones. He is undergoing radiation and hormone therapy. Despite his condition, Biden has maintained a public schedule, attending the dedication of Barack Obama's presidential library in Chicago in June. His presidential memoir is due for release on November 17. A spokesperson declined to comment on the son's remarks.

Hunter Biden's candid interview will inevitably fuel speculation about the former president's fitness. But Joe Biden has continued public appearances and a memoir launch, suggesting he and his doctors see no immediate need to step back. Indian readers should resist reading political conspiracy into a family's honest medical update. The real test will be whether Biden cancels his November book tour or any scheduled events.
