After Joe Biden’s shocking cancer diagnosis, attention is now being made to his friend and former doctor of the White House.
On Sunday, the Biden team announced that the 82-year-old was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that, according to experts, probably grew silently for years while he was in office.
As a doctor for the president, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, known as ‘DOC’, responsible for coordinating all medical tests, medicines and checks of the former president.
Doctors tell the Daily Mail that ordering blood tests or prostate health exams was probably under his supervision.
“It is unthinkable that this was not followed before he left the presidency,” said Dr. Howie Forman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, public health management and economy at Yale.
Although doctors suggested that the cancer had grown for several years, Dr. O’Connor Biden last year a clean health letter and gave no indication that he had been tested for prostate cancer.
The potential supervision means that the cancer of Biden has now spread to its bones, where his opportunities for healing are considerably lower.
Prostate cancer is diagnosed with a simple blood test that searches for proteins produced by the prostate gland. It detects approximately 90% of people with the disease.

Dr. O’Connor has been the personal doctor of the former president for more than ten years, and even helped to comfort the son of Biden while fought against brain cancer.
The doctor of the White House, or doctor at the president, is responsible for coordinating all medical care of the president and communicating health problems with the public.
Each test, including cancer screening, would undergo Biden, this doctor should be personally approved and evaluated.
Dr. O’Connor was appointed to the doctor of the White House shortly after the inauguration of Biden in 2021, personally selected by the president after he had fired the Donald Trump doctor.
He graduated in 1992 with his medical degree at the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine.
He is also a 22-year-old US Army Medic who helped Biden’s son James to make a health care program for veterans.
Dr. O’Connor worked closely with the Biden family after Beau was diagnosed with brain cancer, according to the president’s memoirs ‘Promise me dad’.
The book states that Dr. O’Connor Beau has helped with treatment options and his prognosis.
He was also in the operating room to calm Beau while he underwent a craniotomy for glioblastoma.
But Dr. O’Connor has previously been publicly criticized.
Ronny Jackson, representative of Texas, previously accused Dr. O’Connor and the bids of hiding the cognitive decline of the former president.
Jackson blamed the close personal relationship of the doctor with the Biden family.
He said last year that ‘Kevin O’Connor is like a son for Jill Biden – she loves him. It’s crazy.
‘Kevin O’Connor was one of the Biden administration in that job in that job because they knew they could trust Kevin to say everything and do what had to be said or done and hide what had to be covered.
“He is part of the Biden family.”

Politicians said that Dr. O’Connor, depicted here with Biden in 2023, “Like a Son” was for the president and the First Lady
Dr. O’Connor, depicted here, gave Biden a clean health letter last year and said that there were ‘no new concerns’
Dr. O’Connor also said that Biden did not need a cognitive test last year, even though many people called for one before the elections.
He also claimed that Biden had not seen a neurologist ‘outside of his annual physical’.
The full operation of Dr. O’Connor, who was performed last February, showed that the former President Slaappneu, sour reflux, had an irregular heartbeat, high cholesterol, allergies, arthritis and nerve damage in his feet.
There were no indications that Biden underwent a prostate examination. Dr. O’Connor said that the New York Post Biden was in ‘excellent health’.
This can be because the United States recommends Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) against screening on prostate cancer for men older than 70.
The Task Force says that this is due to a combination of factors, including the potential for overdiagnosis and over treatment, the risk of false positives and the fact that prostate cancer often grows slowly, with many men who die of The cancer, not from it.
This means the risks of treatment of the cancer, which lasts for years to grow when men probably already die, outweighs the benefits.
However, doctors also speculated that Biden would have been an exception to the rule and should have been screened during his time in the White House.
Dr. Forman said on Monday that the blood test for prostate -specific Antigen (PSA) would have shown a while before this diagnosis that he had cancer, seen how aggressive it is.
‘It’s just so strange to discover this with bone [metastasis] In a man of his shape and [with his] Access to care, “he added.
In response to Biden’s diagnosis, the current secretary of the White House Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Trump his doctor, Captain Sean P Barbabella.
“The doctor of the White House we have here is phenomenal,” she said. ‘The team of doctors who take care of the president, especially in Walter Reed Medical Center, is great.
“The president recently had his physical, as you know, he had perfect results. It is in a very good shape. ‘
