No. of Recommendations: 3

And for the record, cancer stages are graded 0 to 4. You’re 0 for 2 in a single tweet, which considering your usual level of accuracy is about typical.

And here's daddy Trump yesterday: “I think it’s very sad, actually, I’m surprised the public wasn’t notified a long time ago, because to get to Stage 9, that’s a long time."

Gleason score of 9, not stage 9, doh! Gleason 9 is bad.

How could Biden's cancer have reached stage 4? The CDC does not recommend prostate cancer screening for men over 70. It can lead to overtreatment, since most men who live long enough die with prostate cancer, not of prostate cancer. In Biden's case it looks like screening earlier would have helped.

I would have expected them to run a PSA test as part of his regular blood work. PSA not super reliable, though, as I know from personal experience.
