In his recent colonoscopy, Joe Biden had a three-millimeter polyp removed which was found to be a tubular adenoma, a benign, slow-growing, potentially precancerous lesion.

This was announced by White House doctor Kevin O'Connor, according to whom the polyp is similar to the one that was removed in 2008 and does not require further interventions, but only a routine check-up.

"The president remains a healthy and vigorous 78-year-old man who can successfully perform the duties of the presidency, as head of state, chief executive and commander in chief," said the doctor shortly after Biden's resignation. .

In those hours the US had a woman president for the first time in its history, Biden had in fact transferred power to Kamala Harris.
