Former US President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has spread beyond his bones and is causing significant pain, his son Hunter Biden has said.
Hunter made the disclosure in an interview with the BBC, saying the cancer had “metastasized into his bones and further” and had become “very painful” and debilitating for his 83-year-old father.
The disclosure provides a fresh update on Biden’s health after he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025. His office had said at the time that the cancer had already spread to his bones, placing it at an advanced stage.
Hunter described the impact of the illness on his father and the family, while emphasizing Biden’s resilience despite the worsening condition.
The former president has continued to make occasional public appearances and remain engaged in public life despite his illness.
Biden, who served as US president from 2021 to 2025, announced his cancer diagnosis shortly after leaving the White House. He later said he was undergoing treatment and remained optimistic about his prognosis.
The latest comments from Hunter indicate that the disease has progressed since the initial diagnosis, although no new details on Biden’s current treatment or prognosis were immediately provided.
