Hunter Biden Says His Father Joe Biden’s Cancer Has Worsened and Spread

Former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has worsened and spread to his bones and beyond, his son Hunter Biden said in a recent BBC interview, providing a new update on the former president’s health.

Hunter Biden said the progression of his father’s illness has been painful and difficult for the family to watch. He described the cancer as having metastasized into Joe Biden’s bones and further, adding that the condition has become debilitating.

Joe Biden, 83, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May 2025 after doctors discovered a prostate nodule following urinary symptoms. His condition was later described as an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones.

Hunter became emotional while discussing his father during the BBC interview, saying it has been difficult to see someone he described as the center of his family deal with the disease. Despite his health challenges, Joe Biden has continued to make public appearances and speak about issues important to him.

The latest disclosure comes as the Biden family continues to provide limited public updates about the former president’s treatment and condition. Hunter said his father remains determined to stay engaged and continue fighting despite the progression of the disease.

The update has renewed public attention on Joe Biden’s health as the former president continues life after leaving the White House. His family has emphasized that he remains surrounded by loved ones while undergoing ongoing medical care.
