Former National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins‚ 73‚ has revealed that he has prostate cancer.In a Washington Post piece‚ Collins explained that years ago‚ ";My doctor had noted a slow rise in my PSA‚ the blood test for prostate-specific antigen."; ";At first‚ there wasnt much to worry about targeted biopsies identified a slow-growing grade of prostate cancer that doesn';t require treatment and can be tracked via regular checkups‚"; he explained‚ noting that ";things took a turn about a month ago when my PSA rose sharply to 22 normal at my age is less than 5. An MRI scan showed that the tumor had significantly enlarged‚"; he wrote. ";New biopsies taken from the mass showed transformation into a much more aggressive cancer.";Collins noted that later in April he will undergo surgery‚ a radical prostatectomy‚ to excise his prostate gland.";My surgeon will be assisted by a sophisticated robot named for Leonardo da Vinci that employs a less invasive surgical approach than previous techniques‚ requiring just a few small incision‚"; he explained.";Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the United States‚ and about 40 percent of men over age 65 ... have low-grade prostate cancer.

Hunter Biden';s legal defense suffered a blow in court Friday after a federal judge in Delaware ruled that the federal gun case against the president';s son would continue.Biden is accused of lying about his drug abuse on a background check in Oct. 2018 when he applied for a gun permit. He is facing two counts of lying about drug abuse when seeking to buy a weapon and one charge of unlawful possession of a firearm while addicted to a controlled substance.His attorneys argued that the case against Biden was politically motivated‚ but the judge presiding over the motion disagreed.U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika said that Biden offered ";nothing concrete"; to prove that Republican efforts against him led to the charges he';s facing. The pressure campaign from Congressional Republicans may have occurred around the time that Special Counsel decided to move forward with indictment instead of pretrial diversion‚ but the Court has been given nothing credible to suggest that the conduct of those lawmakers (or anyone else) had any impact on Special Counsel‚ Noreika wrote. It is all speculation.Biden';s attorneys also argued that he had not committed a crime and that a first-time user would not have faced criminal charges. Prosecutors argued that the evidence against Biden was ";overwhelming"; and included the discovery of cocaine residue in the pouch where he kept the gun. Biden is also facing separate charges in California related to alleged tax evasion where he is accused of withholding $1.4 million that he owes to the government and for filing false tax returns. His attorneys had asked for those charges to be dismissed eight times‚ but the judge presiding in that case allowed it to continue. The trial against Biden for the gun charge may be held in June‚ at a time when his father will be in the middle of a campaign to be re-elected. Judge Noreika was appointed by former President Donald Trump in 2018 with Democratic support. She has not yet issued a judgement on Biden';s defense that the charges are infringing on his Second Amendment rights. Hunter Biden was recently spotted at the White House during the annual presidential Easter egg hunt. Here';s more about the case: Like Blaze News?
