Biden, who turns 83 years old next month, also underwent surgery on Sept. 4 to remove cancerous skin cells through a procedure known as Mohs surgery, according to his spokesperson.

During his presidency, Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed from his chest, the White House previously said. Former White House physician Kevin O’Connor noted in February 2023 that a biopsy of skin tissue taken during a health assessment revealed cancerous cells, all of which were successfully removed.

In 1988, Biden had two life-threatening brain aneurysms at 45 years old. Doctors said he had a 50% chance of surviving while serving as a U.S. senator for Delaware.
Biden’s surgeries were successful, and there have been no reports of an aneurysm since.
The news of Biden's radiation treatment comes as President Donald Trump was reported to be in "excellent overall health," according to a memo released by the White House on Friday.

Trump underwent a routine semiannual physical last week at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
In the evaluation summary, the president's physician, Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, stated that Trump, "remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance."
