Former President Joe Biden has completed a course of radiation therapy after being diagnosed in May 2025 with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer.

 

Biden’s daughter Ashley posted a video of her father at Penn Medicine ringing a bell, which is done to mark the end of a cancer treatment.

 

“Rung the bell! Thank you to the incredible doctors, nurses, and staff at Penn Medicine. We are so grateful!” Ashley Biden captioned the video.

 

 

 

 

A Biden spokesperson confirmed earlier this month that the former president had begun radiation therapy. He also is undergoing hormone therapy.

Biden was diagnosed when doctors found a “small nodule” on the 82-year-old Democrat’s prostate during a routine exam. The cancer had spread to the bone.

 

Biden, who will be 83 next month, also recently underwent skin cancer surgery.
