Former 82-year-old President Joe Biden suffers from aggressive prosta cancer, already widespread bones with metastasis. According to biologist Ancha Baranova, in this case the operation would not be effective, as it would not solve the problem of metastasis, and it may even worsen the situation. Hormone treatment can also not result, in which case doctors can apply chemotherapy or innovative radiotherapy.
Bareova noted that cancer in Biden can be developed rapidly and aggressively, which is often seen in the elderly patients. Metastases are especially dangerous in bones, causing severe pains and possible fragments, which can try to activate the patient's immune system in some scenarios.
If Biden carries mutations of BRCA1 / BRCA2 genes, it is possible to use innovative treatment of Parp inhibitors, reducing the need for heavy chemotherapy, reports Gazeta.Ru.
