The nodule "necessitated further evaluation,” a spokesperson for the former president told ABC News Joe Biden has a "small nodule" on his prostate. A spokesperson for the former president confirmed his health update in a statement to ABC News on Tuesday,

One usual method would be to do a PSA test. Alternatively, he could have a new urine test that looks for genetic signals of cancer. Doctors could examine Mr. Biden’s prostate with an MRI, or ultrasound. “Ultimately, if they think this nodule is prostate cancer, the final step would be a biopsy,” Dr. Moul said.

Former President Joe Biden was hospitalized overnight last Friday in Philadelphia for “further evaluation” of a small nodule found on his prostate during a physical exam. Biden’s spokesman told The New York Times he would not be providing any additional information about the former president‘s care.
