What is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, developing in the prostate gland. This cancer typically grows slowly, but in some cases, it can spread rapidly. The Gleason score indicates the severity of prostate cancer. A higher Gleason score signifies that the cancer cells are abnormal and growing rapidly. Joe Biden's Gleason score of 9 indicates a serious condition requiring vigilant medical attention.
