The polyp that was removed from the intestine of US President Joe Biden during a colonoscopy last week is “benign”, develops “slowly” and “is considered precancerous”, without requiring any further action. At the moment, the White House doctor said in a letter published yesterday, Wednesday, after the sample biopsy.
The polyp that was identified was identified as “tubular adenoma”. He is similar to the one that was removed from the intestine of the current US president in 2008, according to a letter from his doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, written the day before yesterday, Tuesday.
It added that monitoring Biden’s condition was recommended and that the president should undergo a new colonoscopy over the next seven to ten years.
On Friday, the head of state temporarily handed over power to Vice President Kamala Harris while he was under scrutiny. Mrs. Harris thus became the first woman to hold the presidency of the United States, even for a short time.
In addition to the colonoscopy, Mr. Biden underwent general examinations and Dr. Conor assured that the president, 79 years old, is “healthy” and fully able to perform his duties.
Mr Biden is the oldest president in the country’s history. His state of health is monitored by many with intense interest.
