Former President Joe Biden finished his radiotherapy treatment for prostate cancer on Monday, which he has been fighting since 2023, thus continuing his new phase of treatment.

Thus, Biden, 82, rang a bell inside the Penn Medicine medical center in Pennsylvania, after his last session, according to a video published on Instagram by his daughter Ashley Biden.

The daughter of the former Democratic president thanked the doctors and nurses for the care her father has received during his current radiation therapy treatment.

Last month, Biden, 82, also underwent a skin cancer treatment known as Mohs surgery. In his public appearances at the time, a large bandage was visible on his forehead.

Regarding the planned five-week radiation treatment, a spokesperson for Biden said it was unclear at this time whether the former president would need to continue the treatment.

Biden's prostate cancer was detected during a routine medical checkup and, according to his medical team, was a localized, slow-growing tumor.

At the time, the former president announced that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had already metastasized to his bones.

His office said at the time that he was looking into several treatment options to ensure “effective management” of the disease.

In a post on X after sharing his diagnosis, Biden said: “Cancer affects us all. Like many of you, Jill and I have learned we are stronger during difficult times. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”

It is estimated that given the nature of his cancer and the Given that it had already metastasized, it was possible that Biden's disease had gone undiagnosed for years.
