Former US President Joe Biden's recent diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer, which has already spread to his bones, has sparked debate among doctors and users on social media about how quickly the disease could have progressed.

The announcement described the illness as aggressive, with a Gleason score of 9, indicating a high-grade cancer known to grow and spread rapidly.

However, some experts have expressed doubts about whether such an advanced stage could have developed in a short span of time without earlier signs.

Following the former President's diagnosis, criticism has surfaced on social media targeting his wife, Dr. Jill Biden from Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump.

He questioned how the First Lady, who holds a doctoral degree in education, could have missed signs of such an advanced illness.

"What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another cover-up?" Trump Jr wrote in the post on X.

Dr. Steven Quay, a US-based physician and researcher, raised concerns about the timeline in a post on X that went viral.
