Prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases. […] For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic.

Original review summary
DW describes Quay’s assertion that Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer while president and that the public was uninformed as unproven. The review says Biden’s 2024 health summary did not mention the small nodule found during a routine physical exam the previous week; the excerpt does not establish when the cancer began.[S1]
