Sometimes something comes along, usually from Washington, that just doesn’t pass the smell test. While we won’t wish cancer on anyone, nevertheless, the more we learn about the facts and history of former President Biden’s diagnosis, announced on Sunday, the more questions it raises.
Here’s the latest: A Biden spokesperson, according to CNN reporter Arlette Saenz, is claiming that the former president’s last PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) test was in 2014.
Baloney.
Biden last known PSA was reportedly in 2014

Arlette Saenz:
A Biden spokesperson tells me that the former President Joe Biden, his last known PSA, which is a screening that could be used for prostate cancer, was conducted in 2014, and that he was never diagnosed with cancer before the Friday diagnosis that was handed (sic) from his doctors. Now to give you a bit of a background, the PSA test checks the blood for levels of a protein called Prostate Specific Antigen that might indicate the presence of prostate cancer. Many medical associations say that whether to have this test is usually determined between a patient and their doctor and independent experts who have reviewed some screening studies for U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommend against screening for prostate cancer for men 70 and older. In 2014, Biden would have been in that 71-72 age range.
Now this new disclosure from Biden spokesperson comes as President Donald Trump and some of his allies have questioned why Biden’s cancer diagnosis was not revealed earlier. On Friday, Biden received that diagnosis of prostate cancer which has spread to his bones, his office disclosed that on Sunday, and now they are providing a bit more background into what some of his previous screening has been like, so that last PSA, the last known PSA, was in 2014 when he was Vice President.
Ms. Saenz does accurately present the upper age limit for prostate testing, that is, unless you listen to the American Cancer Society, which calls for testing if you are over 50 and at average risk – they don’t name an upper limit. The American Urological Association recommends no screening when over 70, while the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force calls for testing for men aged 55 to 69.
