Former President Joe Biden diagnosed with prostate cancer
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Former President Joe Biden has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
Dr. Ravi Patel with the Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center joined 17 News at Sunrise to discuss the diagnosis of the former president, saying many tests can be done to prolong Biden's life.
According to Patel, the PSA test should be taken at the age of 45. If your family has a history of cancer, it is best to take the PSA test earlier.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as eating less fast food, more fruits and vegetables and reducing alcohol intake is also a great way to lessen cancer diagnosis or other health issues.
