I spoke to him last night about the former president\u2019s cancer diagnosis, and the statement that he put out was the initial reaction he had with me on the phone,\u201d Leavitt said.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy then asked, \u201cIs President Trump worried about the quality of care that Presidents get here?\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>\u201cNot as far as President Trump is concerned. The White House physician we have here is phenomenal, and the team of physicians that take care of the President, particularly at Walter Reed Medical Center, are great. The President had his physical recently, as you know. He had perfect results. He\u2019s in very good shape. I think those of you who traveled to the Middle East with us last week can attest to the President\u2019s endurance,\u201d Leavitt responded.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">Advertisement&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"as5808\" data-title=\"You Might Also Like\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1924460171591299138&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativebrief.com%2Fkaroline-leavitt-biden-91683%2F&amp;sessionId=985ea58572e7ee7d422c5cc6bed17b9cc5437a4a&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1924460171591299138\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Biden and his family \u201care reviewing treatment options with his physicians.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>\u201cLast week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone. While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,\u201d Biden announced in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>A popular medical scholar and physician known for mocking Republicans is asking questions about Biden\u2019s cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Howie Forman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, public health (health policy), management, and economics at Yale University, delivered a deeply concerning opinion on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency. Gleason grade 9 would have had an elevated PSA level for some time before this diagnosis. And he must have had a PSA test numerous times before. This is odd.\u00a0I wish him well and hope he has an opportunity for maximizing his quality of life,\u201d Forman wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>An X user named Adam Brown responded to Forman, saying, \u201cIf they followed the guidelines of the AUA and US Preventative Services Task force, they would have stopped PSA testing at age 70.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To that, Forman said, \u201cCompletely true.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div data-delay=\"4000\" data-block=\"12\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBut do you believe that 1) he really never had screening these past dozen years and 2) he had a normal psa prior to 70? It\u2019s just so odd to discover this with bone Mets in a man of his stature and access to care,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The new health\u00a0diagnosis\u00a0comes amid the publishing of new books and reports that faulted aides to the former president for hiding his\u00a0deteriorating mental capacities\u00a0during his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump issued a heartfelt statement following former President Joe Biden\u2019s announcement on Sunday that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive type of prostate cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMelania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden\u2019s recent medical diagnosis,\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social. \u201cWe extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"hm-related-posts\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article may contain commentary which reflects the author\u2019s opinion.
