Joe Biden’s completion of radiation therapy for aggressive prostate cancer that spread to his bones raises serious questions about what the American people weren’t told during his tenure.
Story Overview
- Biden completed radiation treatment for metastatic prostate cancer at Penn Medicine on October 20, 2025.
- The aggressive cancer had already spread to his bones when he was diagnosed in May 2025.
- Concerns mount over White House transparency regarding Biden’s health during his tenure.
- Biden also underwent additional cancer surgery in September 2025 for skin cancer removal.
Biden Completes Radiation Treatment for Advanced Cancer
Joe Biden rang the ceremonial bell at Penn Medicine Radiation Oncology in Philadelphia on Monday, October 20, 2025, marking the completion of his latest round of radiation therapy.
His daughter, Ashley Biden, celebrated the milestone on Instagram, writing, “Rung the bell! Thank you to the incredible doctors, nurses, and staff at Penn Medicine. We are so grateful!”
The bell-ringing tradition serves as both a progress marker for patients and encouragement for others undergoing cancer treatment at the facility.
Metastatic Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Revealed in May
The gravity of Biden’s condition became clear when he announced his prostate cancer diagnosis in May 2025, revealing the cancer had already metastasized and spread to his bones.
This advanced stage represents a serious medical condition that typically requires aggressive treatment protocols.
Biden spokeswoman Kelly Scully confirmed the completion of this treatment round to CBS News, though it remains unclear whether additional radiation therapy will be necessary moving forward.

Pattern of Health Concerns For Years
Biden’s cancer battle extends beyond his recent prostate diagnosis, raising troubling questions about health transparency.
He underwent Mohs surgery on September 4, 2025, to remove cancerous skin cells, adding to a concerning pattern of health issues.
During his tenure, Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed from his chest, with former White House physician Kevin O’Connor noting in February 2023 that biopsy results revealed cancerous cells that were successfully removed at the time.
White House Transparency Questions Persist
The revelation of Biden’s advanced cancer diagnosis has intensified scrutiny over what Americans knew about the Democrat’s health while he held office.
The announcement of metastatic prostate cancer “redoubled concerns that the White House was not being forthright about Biden’s health during his time in office,” according to reports.
This pattern of health revelations emerging after leaving office raises legitimate questions about transparency and the public’s right to know about their leader’s fitness for the demanding responsibilities of the White House.
