美国前总统拜登之子亨特・拜登在采访中称，拜登的前列腺癌病情正在加重。
亨特表示，父亲拜登的前列腺癌细胞已扩散至身体多处骨骼，病痛常年折磨着他，但拜登仍坚持就各类公共议题公开发声。
上周五晚间，亨特接受英国广播公司(BBC)深度专访，谈及父亲的身体状况时情绪动容，直言目睹父亲患病的模样令人心痛。
“癌细胞已经转移，扩散到骨骼以及身体其他器官，” 亨特说道，“这种病带来剧烈疼痛，在很大程度上严重损耗他的身体机能。”
现年 83 岁的拜登是美国历史上就任时年龄最大的总统，四年总统任期内，外界始终对他的身体状况充满担忧。此前他与白宫幕僚饱受指责，外界质疑他们刻意隐瞒拜登的健康隐患;尤其是在一场与继任者特朗普的灾难性电视辩论结束后，拜登被迫放弃连任竞选。
2025 年 5 月，拜登卸任白宫不到四个月，对外公开了自己罹患前列腺癌的诊断结果。
亨特坦言，这场重病让整个家庭承受了巨大压力。
“看着他饱受病痛折磨实在令人难过，” 亨特说，“谈及父亲当下的健康，我只希望他能多倾诉自身痛苦，眼下情况并不乐观。”
但亨特同时表示，即便重病缠身，拜登依旧活跃在公众视野，持续为自己看重的公共事务发声。
“他始终坚持自己的立场，他发自内心地深爱这个国家。” 亨特说道。
拜登的回忆录《致美国的承诺》将于美国中期选举结束后正式出版。
Joe Biden’s prostate cancer getting worse, Hunter Biden says
Former US President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has spread to other parts of his body and is causing him pain, even as he continues to speak out on public issues, his son Hunter said in an interview.
In a wide-ranging interview with the BBC late Friday, Hunter Biden grew emotional as he discussed his father’s condition, describing it as very sad to watch.
“The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further,” he said. “It’s very painful and it’s very debilitating in many respects.”
Joe Biden, 83, was the oldest man to serve as US president, and his age was a source of concern for much of his four years in office. He and his White House advisers have faced intense criticism for allegedly concealing the extent of his problems, especially after he was forced to abandon his bid for reelection after a disastrous debate with his eventual successor, Donald Trump.
The former presidentrevealed his cancer diagnosisin May 2025, less than four months after he left the White House.
Hunter Biden said the diagnosis had been tough on the family.
“It’s really sad to watch,” Biden said. “The only thing that I’d say about my dad, about his health right now, is I wish he would complain more, because it’s not good.”
But Biden said his father remains “out there,” speaking publicly about the issues that are important to him.
“He’s still doing his thing,” he said. “He so believes in this country.”
The former president will publish a memoir, “Promise Me, America,” after the midterm elections.
