Doctors have recently identified a minor growth in Joe Biden’s prostate during a standard checkup, it was disclosed this week.
“In a routine physical exam a small nodule was found in the prostate which necessitated further evaluation,” a spokesperson told ABC News.
At this stage, there is still no definitive word on the potential severity or implications of the finding.
The New York Times reported that the 82-year-old’s representatives would not comment further on any treatment or ongoing medical procedures.
Health complications like this are not unusual for men in their eighties, such as Biden, who exited the presidency in January after becoming the oldest individual to serve as commander-in-chief.
