    Biden's prostate cancer described as 'aggressive' what to know about the disease's prognosis
    Prostate cancer cases have been on the rise in recent years, increasing 3% annually since 2014 and now former President Joe Biden is one of the more than 300,000 men to be diagnosed this year.Biden's office released the announcement on Sunday, days after news that a "small nodule" had been found in the former president's prostate during a routine exam."While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management," his office said. "The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians."NEW PROSTATE CANCER TEST PINPOINTS DISEASE BETTER THAN PSA OPTION, STUDY FINDSTreatment is usually more effective when prostate cancer is hormone-sensitive, as that means the disease will likely respond better to hormone therapy, according to Mayo Clinic.Hormone therapy is used to block the effects of the hormones that fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells."Prostate cancer cells rely on testosterone to help them grow. Cutting off the supply of testosterone may cause cancer cells to die or to grow more slowly," the above source stated.In addition to hormone therapy, common treatment options for prostate cancer include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and radiopharmaceutical treatments.Prostate cancer is a disease found in men that develops in the prostate gland.About 313,780 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in 2025, and 35,770 men will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society.One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, the same source stated.Older men are at a higher risk of the disease, with six in 10 cases diagnosed in patients 65 and older. The average age at diagnosis is 67, with men under 40 rarely affected. Biden is 82.PROSTATE CANCER DRUG NOW AVAILABLE TO MORE PATIENTS WITH AGGRESSIVE FORM OF DISEASEProstate cancer is the second-most common cancer in men, behind only skin cancer, the ACS noted.Among men who undergo routine prostate cancer screening, the disease is usually caught early before symptoms emerge, per the ACS.Typical early symptoms include problems urinating, a weak or slow urinary stream or an increased need to urinate.Some men may also notice blood in the urine or bodily fluids.More advanced symptoms may occur after the disease has spread. Those may include pain in the hips, back (spine), chest (ribs) or other areas, the ACS stated.Men may also suffer from erectile dysfunction, weight loss, extreme fatigue, weakness in the legs or feet, or loss of bladder or bowel control.The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force states that men aged 55 to 69 years should have the option to undergo periodic prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening to monitor for prostate cancer."Before deciding whether to be screened, men should have an opportunity to discuss the potential benefits and harms of screening with their clinician and to incorporate their values and preferences in the decision," the USPSTF states.While screening offers a "small potential benefit" of reducing the chances of dying from the disease, the agency noted that some men may experience negative effects, including false-positive results, overdiagnosis and overtreatment, and treatment complications.Alternative prostate cancer screening methods are currently being researched, including one that uses a non-invasive urine test, as Fox News Digital recently reported.For localized prostate cancers, where the disease is contained within the prostate, the five-year survival rate is at least 99%, according to the ACS.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERFor regional cases, where the disease has spread only to "nearby structures or lymph nodes," the five-year survival rate is also 99% or greater.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthIf the cancer has spread to other areas of the body, the five-year survival rate drops to 37%.Actual survival rates may vary based on the patient's age, overall health, how the cancer has progressed post-diagnosis, the disease's response to treatment, and other factors, the ACS noted.

    College dropouts celebrate at unconventional 'graduation' ceremony in San Francisco
    "F--- school," said dropout and tech entrepreneur Haz Hubble at a graduation ceremony for college dropouts, a sentiment that captured the mood of the event."If youre smart and high-agency, you dont need to go to school," he said.Though a "dropout graduation" might sound like satire, a crowd of quitters packed into San Francisco's Marina Theater seized the opportunity to mark a declaration of freedom from tradition, academia and expectations.Dozens of 20-somethings donned regular button-ups, casual dresses or otherwise everyday clothing, with the occasional outlier donning a cap and gown but one thing they all shared was the suspicion that college just isn't for everyone.GEN Z BRANDED AS 'THE GHOSTED GENERATION' AS DATES, COLLEGES AND EMPLOYERS KEEP SAYING 'NO'"Our natural instinct as children is to question everything: authority, tradition, the status quo," Cory Levy, founder of the Z fellows program that helps aspiring entrepreneurs make their way into Silicon Valley, told The San Francisco Standard."But somehow, when it comes to college, we stop questioning it. This is a room full of exceptions," he added.It's no secret that some of the world's top earners dropped out of college Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg and the late Steve Jobs among them and their imprint on the technology sector is clear.The doubt their success creates toward the traditional college path is only supplemented with a rising skepticism that's driving many to select different avenues trade school, apprenticeships and online learning programs among them.VIVEK RAMASWAMY EXPOSES 'NATIONAL SECURITY RISK' AS STUDENTS FALL BEHIND IN SCHOOLThe Standard writes that this skepticism is even more prevalent in a place like San Francisco, where many tech companies aren't concerned about someone lacking a 4-year degree."Meanwhile, college graduates struggle to field job offers; bosses say those who do make it into the office remote or otherwise are often unprofessional; and AI is getting better at tasks previously reserved for white-collar workers," the article, published Sunday, continues.The traditional college approach has lost credibility with some members of Gen Z, many of whom have become notorious for questioning authority.In some circles, they've become the "toolbelt generation," opting to learn a skill that translates into a high-paying job without shelling out the cost of a 4-year college experience.NEARLY HALF OF ALL US COLLEGE STUDENTS REJECT MANDATORY DEI COURSES ON CAMPUS: STUDYBut, as former construction worker "Blue Collar Cash" author Ken Rusk once mentioned to "Fox & Friends," the traditional college path is deeply embedded into the educational structure."So, if you think you might want to do that [trade] job, youre walking down the hallway and all you hear is college prep," he said."And youre thinking, Wow, do I not fit in here?"CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREAli Debow, who helped co-organize the dropout graduation, described it as a "really lonely, very isolating" feeling because families often have the expectation that everyone goes to college, and they become dissatisfied when someone breaks that college mold.But, The Standard writes, the key takeaway from the mingling of dropouts isn't as black and white as college or no college rather, it's about recognizing autonomy and trusting yourself to follow a path to your own success.

    Aaron Rodgers could ultimately land in 'perfect place' with Steelers, author says
    The New York Jets split with Aaron Rodgers became official in February. The breakup came nearly two years after the four-time NFL MVP's high-profile arrival in New Jersey.In the months since, Rodgers has reportedly drawn interest from the Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers and other teams. In March, the Vikings announced they would move past their discussions with the free-agent quarterback.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMRodgers recently visited the Steelers' facilities, and multiple outlets reported he met with the team's coaching staff. But, Rodgers has still yet to decide if he will continue his NFL career in 2025 or step away from the game all together.STEELERS' COURTSHIP OF AARON RODGERS IS MORE 'COMPLEX' THAN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, PART-OWNER SAYSAs the clock continues to tick, Ian O'Conner who interviewed Rodgers and hundreds of others as he gathered research to compose the quarterback's biography offered a prediction on where the star signal caller will ultimately end up."I just think verbally, behind the scenes, not that he guaranteed it, but hes told [the Steelers], Listen, Im gonna play for you. I just dont want to go there and then miss part of mandatory minicamp because of my personal issues. Im pretty sure theyre gonna be solved by the end of May, at least in my satisfaction where I can give you my all.

"Whether thats fair or not, thats the case. It may be me as an optimist, but I think this is gonna work out. Do I think the Steelers will win the Super Bowl next year? No. But if you told me 11-6 with at least one playoff victory . . . I think thats realistic."Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Biden could have served until 2029, Clyburn says, despite revelations of cognitive decline
    Top Biden ally and Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday that former President Joe Biden could have served another four years, despite several revelations about the former president's cognitive decline."With all due respect, sir, having interviewed you quite often, I dont think theres any comparison between how sharp you are and your ability to talk and answer questions, and get dates right, et cetera, and what weve seen from President Biden," Tapper said. "Do you think that Joe Biden really would have been able to perform as president all the way through January 2029?"Tapper has been promoting his new book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," which provides a look at the cover-up of the former president's decline while in office."Yes, I thought that back then," Clyburn responded. "I still think that."SHIELDING BIDEN: JOURNALISTS SHED LIGHT ON THE MEDIA'S COVER-UP OF A WEAKENED PRESIDENT"But I dont know that, when people ask me, did I know this or did I know the other? And the fact of the matter is, no, I didnt and, you make my point here. So, its not all about age. Ive seen people develop Alzheimers when theyre in their thirties and forties. So its not about age, its about the ability to do the job. And I never saw anything that allowed me to think that Joe Biden was not able to do the job," the lawmaker said.Clyburn made the comments prior to Biden's announcement that he was diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer."Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms," Biden's team shared in a statement. "On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.""While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians," the statement said.Tapper followed up with a question about Biden's disastrous debate performance and whether that concerned him."Absolutely it did," Clyburn stated. "Yes, I was concerned. Now the question is, is this a condition, or is this an incident?"Clyburn said there were no suspicions of any prolonged condition.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"And then remember, a lot of us were a bit concerned about his schedule in the run-up to the debate. He took two overseas trips, came back and started preparing for that debate. I called it at the time preparation overload, because they were cramming into a four- or five-day period the preparation for the debate after taking two overseas trips, which I thought was taxing in and of itself. And so these kinds of concerns are out there. But, none of us thought that there was anything here that created any suspicions of any prolonged condition," he said.Tapper asked Clyburn about the Hur-Biden audio that was released on Friday and the South Carolina lawmaker said he never personally experienced anything out of the ordinary in his many conversations with Biden.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"I talked to him on the telephone very often," Clyburn said. "And I never saw anything that I thought was outside of the ordinary. I watch my dad reach the age of 80. I saw him slow down, he couldnt do the same things he did at 50 or 60. But it didnt bother his mental capacity at all! And then my father died from prostate cancer. So I never saw anything I thought was unusual. Did he talk as swiftly as he used to talk? No, he didnt. Did he walk as swiftly? No, he didnt! But that is to be expected."
