Former President Joe Biden was taken to the hospital for evaluation after doctors discovered something on his prostate that they did not like during an exam.

“In a routine physical exam, a small nodule was found in the prostate, which necessitated further evaluation,” a spokesperson for the former president said, The New York Times reported.

This type of discovery is common for a man of President Biden’s age, 82, and may, or may not, be cause for concern, CBS reported.

“Prostate cancer may present as a prostate nodule (hard feeling area on the prostate) or elevated PSA test, and often results in ordering an MRI and prostate biopsy,” Dr. Herbert Lepor, urologist at NYU Langone, said.

The Centers for Disease Control says that the risk for prostate cancer increases as a man’s age increases.

“All men are at risk for prostate cancer. Out of every 100 American men, about 13 will get prostate cancer during their lifetime, and about 2 to 3 men will die from prostate cancer,” the CDC said on its website.

“The most common risk factor is age. The older a man is, the greater the chance of getting prostate cancer,” the CDC said. “Some men are at increased risk for prostate cancer. You are at increased risk for getting or dying from prostate cancer if you are African American or have a family history of prostate cancer.”

This week, the former president appeared on the ABC talk show “The View,” where he said that a new book that says people close to him were concerned about his cognitive health during his final years in the White House was incorrect.

“They are wrong,” he said. “There’s nothing to sustain that.”
