Former U.S. president Joe Biden’s cancer has metastasised further, according to his son Hunter Biden, who shared the update in a recent interview with the BBC.
What Happened
In May 2025, just four months after he left office as the oldest sitting President, the elder Biden revealed he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. In a wide-ranging interview published late Friday (August 7, 2026) with BBC Newsnight, Hunter Biden said his father’s disease has spread despite the treatment.
“The cancer has spread, is metastasized into his bones and further,” Mr. Joe Biden had said.

He subsequently began treatment, including radiation and hormone therapy, which the 83-year-old described as going “really well” last month, during an announcement of his upcoming memoir.
