Former President Joe Biden’s “last known” prostate cancer screening was in 2014, and he had never been diagnosed with the disease before last week, his office said Tuesday.

As Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show, he took aim at the media’s recent coverage of Joe Biden‘s cancer diagnosis. On Monday’s episode, the comedian expressed skepticism that President Donald Trump wrote his own Truth Social statement wishing his predecessor a “fast and successful recovery” as it didn’t sound like his usual online rhetoric.

It was surprisingly straightforward. On Monday, Biden and his wife, Jill, posted a photo and a brief comment on social media: “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”

The Trump administration's cuts to medical research grants have disrupted awards once backed by former President Joe Biden's "Cancer Moonshot" initiative​.

President Donald Trump trusts White House doctors despite Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt assured reporters that Trump's health is excellent.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement from Biden’s office said.

The former president released his first statement on X Monday morning, alongside a picture of him and his wife, Jill Biden, a day after the announcement: “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
