Former President Joe Biden‘s late-stage prostate cancer diagnosis has ignited debate about early detection protocols and whether the White House health team failed the former commander-in-chief. Biden’s team revealed that he received a diagnosis last week following complaints of urinary issues.

"We wish Joe a fast and successful recovery," the president said on Truth Social, after his predecessor was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

The announcement Sunday that former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer has some people wondering how the disease could have been missed.
