前总统乔·拜登的前列腺癌已扩散至身体其他部位，正给他带来疼痛，尽管他仍在就公共议题发声，他的儿子亨特·拜登在一次采访中说道。
在周五晚间接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻合作伙伴BBC新闻的深度采访时，亨特·拜登谈及父亲的病情时情绪激动，称看着父亲受病痛折磨“非常令人难过”。
“癌症已经扩散，转移到了他的骨骼以及其他部位，”他说。“这非常痛苦，在很多方面都让人极度虚弱。”
现年83岁的乔·拜登是美国历任总统中年龄最大的一位，在其四年任期的大部分时间里，他的年龄都引发了人们的担忧。他和白宫顾问曾因被指隐瞒其健康问题的严重程度而面临强烈批评，尤其是在他在与最终继任者特朗普总统的一场糟糕辩论后放弃连任竞选之后。
这位前总统于去年5月公布了自己的癌症诊断结果，距离他离开白宫还不到四个月。
当时，他的办公室表示，他的癌症格里森评分（Gleason score）为9分，属于第5级分组，是最严重的类别。
去年9月，这位前总统还因皮肤癌接受了手术，手术方式是逐层切除薄皮肤，直到治疗区域仅剩下无癌组织。他的办公室透露，去年10月，他还接受了一轮前列腺癌放射治疗。

在今年5月接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时，前第一夫人吉尔·拜登表示，当家人得知诊断结果时感到十分震惊。
“说实话，我还记得拿到诊断结果的时候，真的太意外了，”她说。
她还表示，癌症并非在他白宫任职期间被发现的。
“嗯，你知道的，医生说根据美国泌尿协会的指南，70岁以上的男性不需要再做PSA血液检测，因为这种癌症生长缓慢……我确实觉得在白宫期间我们得到了极好的医疗护理，但不知怎么的，这项检测被漏掉了，”她当时说道。
亨特·拜登表示，这个诊断结果对整个家庭来说都很艰难。
“看着他受病痛折磨真的太令人难过了，”亨特·拜登说。“关于我父亲，关于他目前的健康状况，我唯一想说的是，我真希望他能多抱怨一点，因为情况并不乐观。”
但亨特·拜登表示，他的父亲仍然“活跃在公众视野中”，就对他而言重要的议题公开发声。
“他仍在做自己该做的事，”他说。“他如此深爱着这个国家。”
这位前总统将在中期选举后出版回忆录《向我承诺，美国》。
Hunter Biden says his father’s cancer has spread: “It’s very painful and it’s very debilitating”

Former 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 Biden said in an interview.
In a wide-ranging interview with the CBS News partner BBC News late on 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 U.S. 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, President Trump.
The former president revealed his cancer diagnosis in May of last year, less than four months after he left the White House.
At the time, his office said that his cancer was diagnosed with a Gleason score of 9, which placed him in Grade Group 5, the most severe category.
Last September, the former president also underwent surgery for skin cancer in a procedure that involves cutting away thin layers of skin until only cancer-free tissue remains in the treated area. And last October, he underwent a round of radiation therapy for his prostate cancer, his office said.

In an interview with CBS News in May, former first lady Jill Biden said it was a shock when the family learned of the diagnosis.
“Honestly, I can remember getting the diagnosis, and it was just shocking,” she said.
She also indicated that the cancer was not discovered while he was serving in the White House.
“Well, you know the doctors said that, according to the American Urological Association, that men over 70 don’t need a PSA, a blood test, anymore because it’s a slow-growing cancer … I do feel we had amazing care in the White House, but somehow that was missed,” she said at the time.
Hunter Biden said the diagnosis had been tough on the family.
“It’s really sad to watch,” Hunter 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 Hunter 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.
