Leading medical experts today offered their opinions on the complication surrounding Joe Biden’s unexpected cancer diagnosis, suggesting that he may have been too elderly and fragile to undergo testing.
The former president’s office said on Sunday that he had been diagnosed with late-stage cancer, which had probably been spreading for years because it had already spread to his bones.
A basic blood test, for instance, can identify about 90% of patients with the disease, so many medical professionals were shocked to learn how the cancer could have gone unnoticed and why he had not been examined while in office, when he had access to the nation’s top physicians.
