America’s top oncologist makes most shocking claim about Biden’s cancer yet during Morning Joe appearance

A top doctor shockingly stated that Joe Biden likely had cancer when he began his presidency in 2021.

Leading oncologist Dr. Zeke Emanuel made the bombshell announcement on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Monday, saying Biden ‘did not develop [prostate cancer] in the last, 100, 200 days.’ 

‘He had it while he was President,’ Emanuel insisted. 

‘He probably had it at the start of his presidency, in 2021. Yes, I don’t think there’s any disagreement about that.’

The doctor’s remarks came a day after the 82-year-old former president revealed that he had been diagnosed with an ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer.

The cancer has metastasized and spread to his bones, a statement on the diagnosis said, adding that the family is deciding on treatment options.

The announcement came a week after reports revealed that a ‘small nodule’ was found on Biden’s prostate that needed ‘further evaluation.’

On Monday, Emanuel questioned how such and advanced form of the disease had gone under the radar until now and had spread to the former president’s bones.

Top oncologist Dr. Zeke Emanuel told Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough that the former president may well have had prostate cancer throughout his time in office

Officials on Sunday described the severity of the diagnosis – something Emanuel signaled was a sign his condition has been swept under the rug

‘He’s had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading,’ said the doctor, who was named to a 16-person COVID advisory board handpicked by Biden himself.

‘That’s right. It’s a little surprising.’ 

Biden officials had outlined the severity of the diagnosis in the statement – something Emanuel signaled was a sign that Biden’s condition has been swept under the rug.

‘I looked back at the records and there’s no evidence that when he got his health status and the medical records were released, that he had a prostate specific antigen,’ he said. ‘Now, it is true that a lot of people recommend not doing a prostate-specific antigen after 70.

‘But President Biden’s been in public life a very long time,’ Emanuel argued, as theories continue to swirl regarding the timing of the Democrats’ diagnosis.

‘He was Vice President and had a lot of exams under 70. So it’s a little surprising that they didn’t do it. 

‘And maybe President Biden decided he didn’t want the test. Many men do decide they don’t want [it], but this is also aggressive.’

The top doc also discussed how Biden’s doctor’s provided what is known as a Gleason score to give the public a general idea of the disease’s advanced progress.

‘That score is from two up to ten. And he’s a nine,’ Emanuel told Scarborough.

‘It is a little surprising to many of us oncologists that he wasn’t diagnosed earlier,’ Emanuel said

‘And that means that the cancer doesn’t look normal, it looks very abnormal – which is probably why it’s in the bone. 

‘And as you point out, Joe, it’s been around for a very long time in President Biden – years,’ Emanuel said.

‘Exactly how many?’ Scarborough asked.

‘We don’t know, obviously,’ Emanuel replied. 

‘And it is a little surprising to many of us oncologists that he wasn’t diagnosed earlier.’

The former medical expert for Biden’s COVID Advisory Board reiterated how the decision to get the test rested entirely on the then-president.

‘And if he took it and didn’t report it and it was elevated, that is another case of doctors not being straightforward with us,’ Emanuel said.

‘We’ve had several of them with President Trump, especially around his COVID diagnosis.

Officials, in their statement, said the diagnosis came a week removed from the discovery of the small nodule on Biden’s prostate. It also mentions ‘increasing urinary symptoms’ from the former president they said spurred the scrutiny 

‘And if that is true, that would be very troubling,’ the doctor concluded.

‘So, this is not speculation?’ Scarborough responded. ‘If you have prostate cancer that has spread to the bone, then you are saying, most certainly, he had it when he was president of the United States?’

‘Oh yeah,’ Emanuel replied, before explaining his belief that Biden has had the condition for the better part of a half-decade.

He and others continue to question the timing of Biden’s diagnosis, as prostate cancer is a disease that, while deadly, often progresses slowly and is often detectable early on through PSA blood tests mentioned by Emanuel.

Cases as advanced as Biden’s usually come with warning signs aside from rising PSA levels, such as urinary symptoms and bone pain.

As Emanuel mentioned, presidents generally undergo routine and thorough annual physicals, which would typically include PSA testing.

Doctors declared Biden ‘fit to serve’ as recently as February of last year, meaning, if he did undergo the PSA test at the time, the late state metastatic cancer made most of its progress within 15 months.

Theories that Biden and his team knew about the disease and chose to delay public disclosure remain unfounded. 

In a statement Monday morning, Biden personally addressed the diagnosis, sharing a photo where he put on a brave face alongside former first lady Jill Biden. He and his family are now exploring treatment options, his team said in the statement

Officials, in their statement, said the diagnosis came a week after the discovery of the small nodule on Biden’s prostate.

It also mentions ‘increasing urinary symptoms’ from the former president that occurred before the discovery, which was made public days after the Democrat appeared on The View.

In a statement Monday morning, Biden personally addressed his diagnosis, sharing a photo of himself alongside former first lady Jill Biden and their cat Willow. 

‘Thank you for lifting us up with love and support,’ he wrote, hours after the statement from his personal office.
