    Louisiana attorney general expects more arrests in New Orleans jail escape investigation
    Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill believes an investigation into how 10 inmates escaped a New Orleans jail will lead to arrests of more people on the inside, she told "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday morning.Murrill said that authorities are continuing to investigate how exactly the 10 inmates were able to escape and added that she expects more arrests of those on the inside who might have assisted."There certainly will be more consequences from this event. We just have to be methodical in the investigation," she said.Authorities said Tuesday that one jail employee, Sterling Williams, was arrested and accused of helping the inmates escape.FIFTH ESCAPED INMATE FROM NEW ORLEANS JAIL RECAPTURED AFTER DAYS ON THE RUNMurrill also said that despite the time that has passed since 10 inmates escaped from the Orleans County Correctional Facility on Friday morning, law enforcement continues to follow up on credible leads and believes the remaining five escapees are still in the area."I've notified neighboring state officials that they could have headed in that direction, but my gut says that they're probably staying close to home unless they have significant resources somewhere else," Murrill said. "You're just unlikely to go somewhere where you have zero support and help, most of these, if not all of these individuals grew up in New Orleans."So far, all the recaptured inmates have been found in New Orleans."They were young children, really, during the time of Hurricane Katrina," said Murrill. "Their resources are here, so I really expect that they are staying around here and the longer this goes on, the more dependent they are on trying to find people to help them. There's a pretty large reward out, and I'm confident that we're going to collect them all."It's a process, and there are a lot of people involved in the process, but they've been effective, and they are gathering people up."LOUISIANA JAIL WORKER ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY HELPING 10 INMATES ESCAPE ORLEANS PARISH FACILITYLouisiana State Police (LSP) announced 19-year-old Corey Boyd's capture Tuesday night, saying that he was found in New Orleans. On Wednesday morning, an updated LSP Facebook post said Boyd was "transported to a secure state correctional facility outside of the area" and that he has been charged with simple escape.Boyd was one of two men captured on surveillance footage in the French Quarter of New Orleans on Friday morning, just hours after the brazen breakout.He is accused of killing a man named Brandon Fees during a car burglary in 2024 and was in jail awaiting trial on charges of second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, aggravated battery and threatening a public official before the escape.Boyd's arrest was Tuesday's second major development in the case that has captured nationwide attention.LOUISIANA GOVERNOR BLASTS 'PROGRESSIVE PROMISES' AFTER NEW ORLEANS JAIL ESCAPEEarlier in the day, police arrested 33-year-old Williams, an employee of the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office, and charged him with 10 counts of principal to simple escape and one count of malfeasance in office.He was assessed a $1.1 million bond, $100,000 for each charge, according to Murrill's office.According to an arrest affidavit, Williams claims he was coerced into participating via violent threats."LBI Agents were assigned to review information in attempt to determine if anyone, from the OPSO staff or outside personnel, assisted in the escape.During a mirandized interview with Williams, he explained to Agents that he turned the water off from the outside pipe walk area on the exterior of cell 6 under direction of a light skinned black male with tattoos on his face, whom he named as 'Massey,' formally known as Antoine Massey, who threatened to shank him if he did not turn the water off," the affidavit said.According to Fox 8, Massey has a history of escaping from custody."There isn't an ounce of this man's history that doesn't say escape," Matt Dennis of ASAP Electronic Monitors, which provides ankle monitoring services, told the outlet. "He had no intention of wearing an ankle monitor."The five men who remain on the run are:Fox News Digital reached out to the Louisiana State Police, Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office and FBI New Orleans for comment.Fox News' Adam Sabes and Michael Dorgan contributed to this report.

    Sanders, Warren warn Paramount that settling Trump lawsuit could be illegal bribery act
    Sen.Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., penned an ominous letter this week to Paramount Global controlling shareholder Shari Redstone, suggesting settling President Donald Trumps lawsuit against CBS News could be illegal under the federal bribery statute.Trump is seeking $20 billion from CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global, for what he alleged was election interference with how "60 Minutes" edited its interview with then-Vice PresidentKamala Harrisin the weeks leading up to the presidential election.The two sides have entered mediation in hopes of reaching a settlement, and Redstone is widely believed to be open to a deal ahead of a planned multibillion-dollar merger with Skydance Media that could be halted by Trumps Federal Communications Commission (FCC).Warren, Sanders and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., cautioned Redstone that a quid pro quo arrangement leading to a settlement could break the law in a letter sent on Monday."We write to express serious concern regarding the possibility that media company Paramount Global (Paramount) may be engaging in improper conduct involving the Trump Administration in exchange for approval of its megamerger with Skydance Media (Skydance). Paramount appears to be trying to settle a lawsuit that it has assessed as completely without merit, and moderating the content of its programs in order to obtain approval of this merger," their letter addressed to Redstone began.60 MINUTES CALLS OUT CORPORATE OWNER PARAMOUNT ON THE AIR, SAYS PRODUCER WHO QUIT FELT INTERFERED WITH"Under the federal bribery statute, it is illegal to corruptly give anything of value to public officials to influence an official act. If Paramount officials make these concessions in a quid pro quo arrangement to influence President Trump or other Administration officials, they may be breaking the law," the letter continued. "We request information regarding whether Paramount is making concessions to President Trump in exchange for favorable action by his Administration."The lawmakers then noted that CBS previously filed a motion to dismiss Trumps lawsuit and referred to it as "an affront to the First Amendment" and declared it was "without basis in law or fact."They said Paramount appeared to be trying to "appease" the Trump administration to secure merger approval.Warren, Sanders and Wyden noted that FCC Chair Brendan Carr stated Trumps CBS lawsuit was "likely to arise in the context of the FCC review of [the Paramount-Skydance] transaction," and "Paramount is reportedly in talks to settle the lawsuit."60 MINUTES' PRODUCER'S ABRUPT EXIT FUELS DRAMA AT CBS NEWS AS NETWORK BATTLES TRUMP LAWSUITThe lawmakers cited veteran CBS News correspondent Scott Pelley, who recently told CBS viewers that "Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways" as the company is "trying to complete a merger." The letter also referenced the recent resignations of CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon and "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens, who both criticized corporate overlords on their way out."Paramounts scheme to curry favor with the Trump Administration has compromised journalistic independence and raises serious concerns of corruption and improper conduct," Warren, Sanders and Wyden wrote. "Paramounts apparent capitulation to President Trump is a sharp contrast from its earlier position that it would vigorously defend against the lawsuit."Warren, Sanders and Wyden gave Redstone until June 2 to answer nine specific questions, including "Does Paramount believe the lawsuit filed by then-candidate Trump against CBS has merit?"CBS ANCHORS SALUTE OUTGOING '60 MINUTES' PRODUCER, SAY EFFORT TO SETTLE TRUMP LAWSUIT TIED TO CORPORATE MERGERThey also want to know if Redstone or other board members have discussed a settlement, if the merger was discussed during these conversations, and if "60 Minutes" has been asked by Paramount officials to change content to facilitate merger approval.Paramount did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News Digital.FCC Chair Carr did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News Digital.

    Foreigner lead singer Kelly Hanson surprises fans with news about band's future
    The legendary rock band Foreigner is saying farewell to lead singer, Kelly Hansen.After the band's stellar performance during Tuesday's finale of "The Voice," Hansen - who joined the group in 2005 - broke the news of his departure alongside his bandmates."After 20 magical years fronting this band, this will be my last year with Foreigner," Hansen, who will put down the mic after the band's summer tour, told the crowd. "At the end of this summer, a new great voice will sing these songs for you; my friend Luis Maldonado.""Being the voice of Foreigner has been one of the greatest honors of my life," added Hansen, who joined the group in 2005. "But its time to pass the mic. Luis has the voice, the energy, and the soul to carry these songs into the future. I couldnt be prouder to hand this off to him."FOREIGNER REVEAL HOW THEIR MUSIC RESONATES FROM GENERATION TO GENERATIONForeigner was formed in New York City in 1976 by guitarist Mick Jones, vocalist Lou Gramm, drummer Dennis Elliott, keyboardist Al Greenwood, bassist Ed Gagliardi and multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald. Hansen has been the lead singer of Foreigner since 2005.Mick Jones is the only founding member still with the band. Current members include Maldonado, Bruce Watson, Michael Bluestein, Chris Frazier and Jeff Pilson."In 1976, my goal was to assemble the finest group of musicians I could find. Results have shown that it worked! About 30 years later, Jason Bonham encouraged me to do it all over again and create a brand-new Foreigner, and the magic was still there," Jones said per Rolling Stone."I was especially fortunate in the choice of lead singer," Jones continued. "Kelly Hansen is one of the best front men in our business and over the last twenty years he has breathed new life into our songs.""I wish Kelly great happiness in his next endeavors after our summer tour, and I look forward to welcoming Luis to his new position," Jones added. "Luis was my choice as a guitarist and he has already shown us what he can do on lead vocals by fronting the band in South America to incredible reviews. He will soon lead the charge that will carry us forward to new heights."FOREIGNER OVERCAME PRESSURE, FEUDS BEFORE SCORING MUSIC'S HIGHEST HONORSince their music career launched in 1976, the English-American rockers skyrocketed to fame with major hits, including "Cold as Ice" and "I Want to Know What Love Is."In October, Hansen and founding member Greenwood spoke with Fox News Digital about the highs and lows of touring, how health challenges have impacted the band, and what its like to receive one of "musics highest honors" ahead of their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"When you're starting out in a band, and you're trying to be popular, there's a lot of pressure on you. There's a lot of pressure on the musicians." Greenwood explained."There were fights, there were definitely arguments and things like that in the early days. But you get over it.""A band is really a family. You have all different personalities and everybody's got to fit together, and you perform every night it's work, and it's pleasure," Greenwood continued.During the course of their 50-year music career, several band members suffered from serious health issues: Gagliardi and McDonald died from cancer in 2014 and 2022, respectively; Gramm was diagnosed with a type of brain tumor in 1997; and Jones is currently battling Parkinsons disease.Fox News Digital's Stephanie Giang-Paunon contributed to this post.

    The Cook County Medical Examiner in Illinois has revealed the cause of death of a Chicago woman found dead in the stairwell of her husband's luxury, high-rise condo in October 2024, but her manner of death remains undetermined.Caitlin Tracey, 36, died of "multiple injuries, fall from height" on Oct. 27, 2024, the medical examiner ruled. No one has been charged in connection with her death, as FOX 32 Chicago first reported.Court documents filed last year state that "based on the condition of the remains, Decedents body fell approximately 24 floors before landing at the bottom of a stairwell." Her "body was pulverized and her foot was severed from her body," attorneys for the family wrote.Tracey's husband, Adam Beckerink, 46, was arrested in March on a fugitive charge stemming from a warrant in Michigan, where the well-known tax attorney was wanted on charges of domestic violence, resisting and obstructing and larceny, according to FOX 32.POLICE HUNT FOR MALE COMPANION SEEN FLEEING SLAIN COLLEGE STUDENTS APARTMENTWhile Beckerink is not charged in connection with Tracey's death, his March arrest has highlighted a tumultuous past. An attorney representing Beckerink did not immediately respond to an inquiry from Fox News Digital.The domestic incident stemmed from two 911 calls made last year in New Buffalo, Michigan, where Tracey and Beckerink lived during and before their six-month marriage, reporting domestic abuse and theft, according to FOX 32.HUSBAND OF NURSE, MOM OF THREE FOUND DEAD AT BOTTOM OF STAIRCASE WENT FOR BEER AFTER FINDING BODY: POLICEFollowing her death in October 2024, police held Beckerink for 48 hours but ultimately released him. A legal battle later ensued between Tracey's parents and her husband.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XCourt records revealed that Tracey filed a petition for an order of protection against Beckerink in October 2023. The couple married on April 8, 2024 "in a private ceremony" that did not include their family members, court documents say.JUDGE DUMBFOUNDED BY ERROR AT SITE OF 'SUICIDE' WHERE TEACHER WAS FOUND STABBED 20 TIMESTracey's parents believe Beckerink "manipulated" Tracey "and purposefully isolated her from her family so that he could continue his campaign of abuse and terror unnoticed," attorneys wrote in court documents.SIGN UP TO GET THE TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER"Plaintiffs have alleged that their daughter's partner, who may or may not be her husband, subjected her to ongoing domestic abuse and ultimately took her life," court records state.

    House Freedom Caucus heading to White House after delay play on Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'
    The conservative House Freedom Caucus is demanding House GOP leaders delay plans to vote on President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" this week.The group of GOP rebels is joining House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., for a meeting at the White House later on Wednesday in an apparent bid to hash out differences on the massive piece of legislation, Fox News was told."I don't think it can be done today. I mean, the runway is short today," House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., told reporters in a press conference on Wednesday.Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., said the group accepted an "offer" from the White House on Tuesday night. He suggested the offer was not yet included in the broad-based bill that Republicans are hoping to pass via the budget reconciliation process this year.TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' PASSES KEY HOUSE HURDLE AFTER GOP REBEL MUTINY"We need to continue to work at that. We as members are at the table. We don't want the deal to be ended," Perry said.A House Freedom Caucus source told Fox News Digital that the speaker was still "digesting" the agreement, though lawmakers at the press conference declined to say what the deal was, but a White House official pushed back in a statement to Fox News Radio."There was no deal. The White House presented HFC with policy options that the Administration can live with, provided they can get the votes, but they cannot get the votes," the official said. "There was no deal. The HFC will meet with the president at 3pm to hopefully strike one."A House GOP leadership aide also told Fox News Digital that the White House only provided the Freedom Caucus with policy options rather than a deal.Johnson had told reporters this week that the bill could see a chamber-wide vote as early as Wednesday. However, Harris said, "I'm not sure this can be done this week. I'm pretty confident it could be done in 10 days. But that's up to leadership to decide."House conservatives have been pushing for the bill to include more aggressive cuts to Medicaid specifically the expanded population who became eligible under the Affordable Care Act and a full repeal of former President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its green energy subsidies.Allies of Johnson and other House GOP leaders have accused the GOP rebels of "moving the goal posts" from their initial demands of needing at least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts to offset the cost of new spending in the bill.However, Harris challenged that notion during the press conference."We're saying work within the goalposts, rearrange it within the goalposts in accordance with what the president wants end waste, fraud and abuse in Medicaid, which is wasting dollars that should be spent on the truly vulnerable, and then end as much of the green new scam as possible," Harris said.Earlier this morning, two key critics of the bill told Fox News Digital that negotiations between the House Freedom Caucus and House GOP leaders had regressed.Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said talks went "massively south" but declined to go into detail. Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., similarly said in a text message to Fox News Digital, "THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL!!"HOUSE GOP TARGETS ANOTHER DEM OFFICIAL ACCUSED OF BLOCKING ICE AMID DELANEY HALL FALLOUTThere are several outstanding issues with the bill that have not yet been resolved blue state Republicans pushing for a raise in state and local tax (SALT) deduction caps, and conservatives demanding stricter work requirement rules for Medicaid as well as a full repeal of green energy subsidies in the IRA.Conservatives have been wary of the New York and California GOP lawmakers' push, however.The House Rules Committee, the final gatekeeper before most legislation sees a House-wide vote, has been debating the bill since 1 a.m. Wednesday. The debate is expected to go through the better part of the day.Critically, Norman and Roy are members of the rules panel but even if they both voted against it in committee, the numbers are still on Republicans' side to advance it.The House of Representatives, where Republicans can lose just three votes to pass anything along party lines, is another story.Republicans are working to pass Trumps policies on tax, immigration, energy, defense and the national debt all in one massive bill via the budget reconciliation process.Budget reconciliation lowers the Senates threshold for passage from 60 votes to 51, thereby allowing the party in power to skirt the minority in this case, Democrats to pass sweeping pieces of legislation, provided they deal with the federal budget, taxation or the national debt.House Republicans are hoping to advance Trumps bill through the House and Senate by the Fourth of July.

    Rising GOP star takes victory lap after Trump DOJ rolls back massive Biden anti-police push: 'Promise kept'
    FIRST ON FOX: Arizona GOP Congressman Abe Hamadeh took a victory lap on Wednesday as the Trump Justice Department announced it would dismiss the Biden administration's "last minute" lawsuits against several police departments, including Phoenix."Promise made. Promise kept," Hamadeh told Fox News Digital in a statement after his efforts to end DOJ weaponization against police departments, largely stemming from the George Floyd riots in 2020, came to fruition on Wednesday via an announcement from DOJ.The DOJ announced on Wednesday it is scaling back "pattern and practice" probes thatbecame prevalentunder former AG Merrick Garland and were slammed by critics who argued the effort was politically motivated and impeded police officers from doing their jobs."Today, we are ending the Biden Civil Rights Division's failed experiment of handcuffing local leaders and police departments with factually unjustified consent decrees," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon said as the Department of Justice made the announcement.'DEFUND THE POLICE' MECCA OF MINNEAPOLIS OVERRUN WITH VIOLENCE, 'FAILED LEADERSHIP': FORMER AG CANDIDATE"I promised our law enforcement officers before taking office that I would end the weaponization of our judicial system and work with President Trumps Department of Justice to undo the damage wrought by the Biden Administration."The Phoenix Police Department was the target of one of those oversight investigations in 2024 when Bidens DOJreleased a report alleging Civil Rights violations and claimed the department was discriminating against minorities and using excessive force.That probe has now been rejected by the Justice Department along with probes in several other jurisdictions, including Trenton, New Jersey, Memphis, Tennessee, Mount Vernon, New York, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Minneapolis and the Louisiana State Police.The Phoenix Police Sergeants and Lieutenants Association (PPSLA) and the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) both issued statements praising Hamadehs work on the issue."The Phoenix Police Sergeants and Lieutenants Association (PPSLA) is grateful to Congressman Abe Hamadeh for keeping his promise to us,"PPSLA PresidentBen Leuschner said. "While we very much appreciate the support of everyone who advocated on our behalf, we know that Congressman Hamadeh took the fight to an important level. Today, justice was won for the residents we are sworn to protect and serve as well as our members."TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' WINS SUPPORT FROM POLICE FOR OVERTIME TAX ELIMINATION"We are grateful that both President Trump and Congressman Hamadeh stood with us against the Biden Administrations DOJ's flawed investigation of the Phoenix Police Department, which has already cost Phoenix taxpayers millions of dollars and left a demoralized, shrinking police force."Hamadeh has been leading efforts to push back against the Biden DOJs established practices on oversight for police departments and recently met with FBI Director Kash Patel to "discuss the Biden Administrations targeted attacks on our men and women in blue", his office said in a press release."I am grateful to President Trump and his team of patriotic professionals dedicated to the men and women of our local law enforcement agencies who run to the sound of danger to keep our communities safe and secure," Hamadeh said.Hamadeh added, "As I noted in my communications with Trump Administration officials, our officers did everything right, voluntarily cooperating in good faith, opening their records, and participating in lengthy interviews. They were met with stonewalling, mischaracterized testimony, and a final report riddled with glaring inaccuracies."An adviser to FBI director Patel told Fox News Digital that "Director Kash Patel has made it clear that under his leadership, the FBI stands firmly with the brave men and women who protect our communities.""Overbroad police consent decrees divest local control of policing from communities where it belongs, turning that power over to unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, often with an anti-police agenda," Dhillon said in a statement Wednesday.Fox News Digital reached out to Biden's office for comment."As president of the Arizona Fraternal Order of Police, and on behalf of the entire membership, I want to thank Congressman Hamadeh for his unwavering support," Arizona Fraternal Order of Police President Paul Sheldon said in response to the news. "We look forward to partnering with the Congressman in the future on our shared goal of keeping our communities safe."

    Biden family misled public, concealed details on son Beaus cancer diagnosis, new book says
    Former President Joe Biden and his late son actively chose to conceal details and misled the public regarding Beau Biden's cancer diagnosis while he served as attorney general of Delaware, a new book claims.The book, "Original Sin: President Bidens Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," said that the Biden family wanted to keep Beau Biden's cancer diagnosis a secret and misled the media about his condition. The nonfiction book, authored by journalists Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios, was released Tuesday.The revelation comes just after former President Biden announced Sunday he had been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer. The former president's office later said Tuesday he had never received a prostate cancer diagnosis.GLEASON SCORE FOR PROSTATE CANCER: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT BIDEN'S DIAGNOSIS"Beaus cancer treatment also demonstrated the Bidens capacity for denial and the lengths they would go to to avoid transparency about health issues, even when the person in question is an elected official, in this case the sitting attorney general of Delaware," the book alleges.The book details how Beau collapsed in the summer of 2013 during a family vacation and that he subsequently faced surgery to remove a brain tumor. By the fall, Beau started to reduce his public appearances and media interviews."In September, Biden and Beaus team internally debated how much to disclose about Beau the vice presidents son and a states top law enforcement officer but ultimately said nothing," the book said. "In November, Beau told a local reporter he had been given a clean bill of health."Months later, in February 2014, a neurologist revealed that a "small lesion" was removed from Beau's brain even though the former president later shared the tumor was larger than a golf ball.JOE BIDEN DIAGNOSED WITH AGGRESSIVE FORM OF PROSTATE CANCER WITH METASTASIS TO THE BONEBeau continued to serve as attorney general of Delaware as he received treatments all over the country. He would enter hospitals using the name George Lincoln, according to the book.The book details that Beau's wife, Hallie, told others she remained confused regarding why Beau's declining health was kept under wraps, since the public would have likely provided support. However, Joe and Beau remained against sharing details with the public, the book said.Hallie did not immediately respond to Fox News Digita's request for comment.Additionally, the book said that the then-vice president ordered his staffers to "mislead" the media regarding his whereabouts as vice president. While his team would say he was departing Washington and going to Delaware on weekends, the vice president would also travel to Houston to be with Beau, who was receiving treatment there."Publicly acknowledging Beaus illness would make it a reality," the book said. "It was them against the world."A spokesperson for the former president did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.Beau died of a glioblastoma brain tumor in May 2015 at the age of 46."Original Sin" details the 2024 election cycle and how former President Bidens team allegedly orchestrated a cover-up to hide just how severely his mental faculties had suffered.The book is one of several that detail Bidens decision to run in 2024 and assert the dramatic decline of his cognitive function.

    DR. MARC SIEGEL: Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis reveals dangerous flaw in screening guidelines
    If there is one thing that the COVID pandemic taught us, it was the lack of flexibility, nimbleness and the frequent inaccuracy or out of datedness of superimposed guidelines. I must confess that as a practicing internist for many years, I have never strictly adhered to guidelines and simply used them to guide me. Medicine is and always has been an art to be practiced on an individual basis.One of the guidelines that has bothered me the most is the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Guideline in use since 2012 -- not to recommend routine Prostate Specific Antigen use in prostate cancer screening. And even the American Urological Association doesnt recommend routine screening over the age of 70.Studies have shown that use of the PSA has fallen off likely in men over the age of 40 as a result of the USPSTF recommendation. This is particularly disturbing considering that there are over 300,000 new cases of prostate cancer in the U.S. diagnosed every year, with over 35,000 deaths, many of which may be preventable with earlier diagnosis.So it is disturbingly possible that former President Bidens spokesperson is telling the truth when he says that he wasnt screened for prostate cancer in over a decadeprior to his current diagnosis of aggressive metastatic disease. Perhaps he and his doctors were just rigidly following an outdated and ill-conceived guideline. But this revelation, if true, is just as disturbing as if the Biden White House were hiding a timelier earlier diagnosis from the American public, just as they have apparently hidden other health realities regarding the former president.BIDEN'S 'LAST KNOWN' PROSTATE CANCER SCREENING WAS OVER A DECADE AGO, AS QUESTIONS MOUNT OVER DIAGNOSISDelay and guessing in the dark is simply not how I, and many other internists and urologists, practice medicine. The PSA itself tells us when it trends upward, often when it increases over 4, that there is something going on in the prostate. The rise may or may not be due to prostate cancer. When combined with a "free PSA," if low, the likelihood of prostate cancer increases. We are also on the verge of genetic testing and liquid biopsies (blood tests) which will increase the accuracy of prostate cancer screening and we already have useful biomarker screening tests for prostate cancer in the urine.Luckily, despite the fact that current screening guidelines are not up-to-date or useful, I can still order a PSA and have Medicare cover it for any age if I say the test is medically necessary.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONI need to know that information, combined with a digital rectal exam looking for nodules, to know what to do next regardless of my patients age. If either test is abnormal, I can then choose to proceed to an MRI of the prostate, which has become more accurate at looking for prostate cancer as the test has evolved and advanced. An MRI result can direct a urologist as to whether a biopsy is necessary and where in the prostate to direct this biopsy.If a patient has prostate cancer, there are many treatment options available, depending on the stage and aggressivity. These treatments have also advanced over the years and are better tolerated with fewer side effects, which means they may be tolerated by men of older ages and in poorer health. If a cure is possible, then either robotic radical prostatectomy or various forms of radiation treatments are considered. And if the prostate cancer is metastatic, as in President Joe Bidens case, hormone therapy to target testosterone (which may be causing the tumor to grow), may be used or combined with other treatments, including targeted therapies, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy. There are even studies which show that it may improve outcome to still remove the prostate even in some advanced cases.Many critics are saying that a president of the United States should have the most aggressive prostate cancer screening regardless simply because he is president. But I am saying that all men over the age of 45 should have this screening. Period. Regardless of age.Medical knowledge is power and what I do with the information I acquire to help my patient is the art of medicine. Not knowing is never the correct answer.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DR. MARC SIEGEL
