In short
- Hunter Biden says former US President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has spread to his bones and is causing significant pain.

Former US President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has spread to his bones and is causing significant pain, his son Hunter Biden said in an interview broadcast on August 7, 2026.
Hunter Biden told the BBC that the disease had metastasized beyond the prostate and described its effects as painful and debilitating. The Guardian reported the comments on August 8. The update came after the former president disclosed his cancer diagnosis in May 2025, several months after leaving office.
Biden, 83, has continued to make public statements despite his illness. His son said the former president remains engaged with issues important to him. The account is a family-provided update; the source material reviewed by AddisMizan did not include a new medical statement from Biden’s doctors.
