Joe Biden Begins Radiation Treatment for Prostate Cancer

USA's former president Joe Biden has undergone a first round of radiation treatment for prostate cancer.

In total, the former president will undergo a five-week course. Biden announced in May this year that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his skeleton.

In September, he also underwent an operation for skin cancer on his forehead.

The 82-year-old was president until January this year. Six months earlier, he dropped out as the Democrats' candidate for last year's presidential election.
