According to a report from the U.S. network NBC, on October 11 local time, a spokesperson for former U.S. President Joe Biden revealed that Biden is undergoing radiation therapy to address his prostate cancer diagnosed in May.

The spokesperson said, "As part of his prostate cancer treatment plan, Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone therapy." Another source informed the media that this radiation therapy is expected to last five weeks, marking a new phase in his treatment. Biden had previously started taking oral hormone medication.

In September, Biden was seen with a scar on his forehead during a public appearance. The photo is from foreign media.

In May this year, the Biden office publicly announced that Biden had been diagnosed with malignant prostate cancer, and the cancer cells had spread to his bones. The Biden office stated at the time that he was adopting multiple treatment plans to ensure "effective management" of his condition.

After it was revealed that Biden had malignant cancer, U.S. President Trump did not hold back. He first expressed surprise and regret over the severity of Biden's condition, then implied that Biden had concealed his illness from the public. Later, Trump also said on May 30 that there was no need to feel excessive sympathy for Biden.

In September this year, Biden was photographed with a new scar on his forehead during a public appearance, which drew attention. The Biden office later confirmed that the scar resulted from a Mohs surgery for skin cancer, where part of the skin was removed.

Biden will turn 83 next month, and his health continues to be under scrutiny. Since the previous U.S. election, Biden's health and mental state have been constantly questioned by the outside world, with claims that he is too old to run for office again. In response, Biden has repeatedly stated that he is in "good condition."
