Former U.S. President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has ​spread beyond his ​bones and is very painful, his son, Hunter Biden, said in an interview with the BBC.


* "The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further,” Hunter ⁠Biden told BBC's "Newsnight," according to video posted online ⁠on Friday. "It’s very painful, and it’s very debilitating in many respects.”


* A spokesman for the 83-year-old Democrat ‌declined on Saturday to comment ​on Hunter Biden's ⁠interview.


* Biden revealed in May ​2025, less than four ‌months after he left the White House, that he had ​been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer, saying at the time that it had spread to his bones.


* A Biden spokesman said in ‌October he was undergoing radiation treatment and hormone ​therapy.


* Biden was the oldest person to ​win ‌the ⁠U.S. presidency at the time of his election in 2020.


* Biden's physical health and ​mental acuity drew scrutiny during his 2021 ⁠to 2025 ​presidency.


* Biden attended the dedication of Barack Obama's presidential library in June in Chicago. Biden served as Obama's vice president from 2009 ​to 2017.


* Biden's presidential memoir is ​scheduled for release on November 17.
