A urologist, Dr. Brian Rambarran, told Newsmax on Monday that former President Joe Biden has likely been dealing with cancer for "many years."
Rambarran told "Newsline" that the information released so far about Biden's prostate cancer indicates it has been known for a while.
"He's had this for many years. A Gleason 9 disease takes time to develop. Prostate cancer typically is a slower-growing disease process."
Rambarran said prostate cancer is not always a slow-developing affliction, but it most often is.
"But this isn't something that he had more recently. He's probably had this going on for quite some time," Rambarran said.
The New York urologist said testosterone treatment for prostate cancer, generally, and specifically in Biden's case, may prove very effective.
"So the doctors will look at all of that, and one of the keys is they said it was hormone-perceptive or sensitive. So the mainstay of therapy for something like this is hormonal therapy, " he said.
The treatment, Rambarran said, is to inhibit testosterone production by the body.
"We block testosterone in the body because testosterone is what stimulates the cancer cells. So we block testosterone in certain types of hormones."
Most physicians responding to Newsmax about Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis agree that testosterone-related treatment is one of the first things that his doctors would employ.
