The government’s medical advisory board - the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) - recommends no routine prostate cancer screening after age 70y: https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/uspstf/recommendation/prostate-cancer-screening
Should Biden have requested/insisted? Yes.
But, as with most guys, they do what their doctors say and don’t question it. Even on this forum, guys indicate that whatever their doctors say to do, they do……they explicitly trust whatever their doctors say….and that they’re putting their lives in their doctors’ hands.
That probably is not the best way to do things.
as President he should not have the option of "declining" and I would think anyone smart enough to be President would know enough to just get the test. I honestly cannot even imagine what happened...but he won't be open if it was his decision to not have it.
