The Story in Brief
Former US president Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread to his bones, his son Hunter revealed in a BBC interview. Hindustan Times reports that the 83-year-old Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025, which had already metastasised to his bones.
Hunter Biden said the cancer is 'very painful and debilitating,' and he finds it 'really sad to watch.' First lady Jill Biden has said her husband will 'forever live with cancer' and requires check-ups every three months. Biden is also working on a memoir, Promise Me, America, expected after the 2026 midterms.

News of Joe Biden's cancer spreading will fuel debates about age and fitness in leadership. However, the former president's public disclosure of his diagnosis stands in contrast to the opacity often seen in Indian politics. While some may use this to question US leadership, the more relevant question for India is: why do our leaders rarely share such health details with the public until it is too late?
