Doctor Stuns MSNBC With Cancer Timeline Claim

President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis has triggered a storm of questions. A top oncologist now claims the 82-year-old may have had the disease for up to 10 years — and possibly while serving as commander in chief.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who once worked on Biden’s transition team and helped shape the Affordable Care Act, said Monday that the cancer was likely present far earlier than previously disclosed.

“He’s had this for many years, maybe even a decade,” Emanuel said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days.”

Gleason 9 and Growing

According to Emanuel, Biden’s Gleason score of 9 — near the top of the scale — proves how aggressive the cancer is. The disease had already spread to Biden’s bones by the time doctors diagnosed it earlier this month.

Emanuel explained, “This isn’t something that just appears overnight. It’s been growing and spreading for years.”

The cancer was discovered after Biden reported urinary symptoms. A small nodule on his prostate led to further testing and the devastating diagnosis.

Cancer While in the White House?

“He had it while he was president. He probably had it at the start of his presidency in 2021,” Emanuel claimed. “There’s no real disagreement among oncologists on that point.”

The announcement came just two days after Biden learned of the diagnosis. Yet some doctors say the severity suggests he lived with cancer undetected for much longer.

Medical experts now wonder why routine screenings didn’t catch it. “It’s surprising,” said Emanuel. “He had exams when he was vice president. PSA tests should have picked it up.”

Missed Tests or Medical Omission?

Emanuel also noted that Biden’s predecessors — Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush — both had PSA exams while in office.

“I don’t know why Biden’s team didn’t test or disclose it,” he said. “If the test was done and not reported, that’s a serious concern.”

Emanuel pointed to previous instances where White House doctors were accused of withholding key medical data. “We saw it during Trump’s COVID diagnosis too,” he added.

Slip-Up in 2022 Speech Resurfaces

Biden’s shocking 2022 claim that he “had cancer” resurfaced following the news. Speaking about emissions in Delaware, he said, “That’s why I and so many others have cancer.”

The White House later downplayed the comment, saying Biden was referring to past skin cancers caused by sun exposure. But critics aren’t convinced.

Glenn Kessler of The Washington Post had defended Biden, citing a report that confirmed non-melanoma cancers were removed before his presidency.

Medical Records Lack Clarity

Former White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor didn’t mention prostate cancer in his reports. However, he detailed Biden’s skin cancer history, linking it to sun damage from his youth.

“These lesions were completely excised with clear margins,” O’Connor wrote in 2021. Still, he never referenced PSA results or any prostate screening.

Doctors now say Biden’s aggressive form of cancer could not have been recent. Its metastasis to bone points to years of unchecked growth.

Trust in Transparency Erodes

As public scrutiny grows, the question is no longer just about Biden’s health — but also about trust. Was the cancer hidden? Were tests skipped? And did politics trump public health?

Oncologists like Emanuel demand answers. “It’s unusual and unsettling,” he said. “Something doesn’t add up.”

With Biden’s farewell address delivered in January 2025 and his diagnosis breaking months later, the timeline leaves more questions than answers.

Now, Americans want the truth.

Because if cancer this advanced went undetected — or unreported — for years, what else don’t we know?
