When Biden returned to the Oval Office as president, he relaunched the initiative with a similar focus.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his personal office said in a statement. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
Biden and Clinton worked closely together during their time in the Obama administration, after overlapping for eight years in the Senate.
