<p>Doctors at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center released a statement on Tuesday revealing that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was treated in late December for prostate cancer and was hospitalized at the start of this month with complications from a urinary tract infection.</p>
<p>Austin&#8217;s health status has come under intense scrutiny after news broke late last week that he had been hospitalized without the Biden administration knowing about it.</p>
<p>&#8220;As part of Secretary Austin&#8217;s routinely recommended health screening, he has undergone regular prostate specific antigen (PSA) surveillance,&#8221; the doctors said in <a href="https://twitter.com/jseldin/status/1744801466185834864">a statement</a>. &#8220;Changes in his laboratory evaluation in early December 2023 identified prostate cancer which required treatment.&#8221;</p>
<p>On December 22, 2023, Austin was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and &#8220;underwent a minimally invasive surgical procedure called a prostatectomy to treat and cure prostate cancer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Austin was discharged from the hospital and went home the following morning.</p>
<p>&#8220;On January 1st, 2024, Secretary Austin was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center with complications from the December 22 procedure, including nausea with severe abdominal, hip, and leg pain,&#8221; the doctors said. &#8220;Initial evaluation revealed a urinary tract infection. On January 2, the decision was made to transfer him to the ICU for close monitoring and a higher level of care.&#8221;</p>

<p>They said that his prognosis was &#8220;excellent&#8221; regarding the cancer diagnosis and that his infection has cleared and they anticipate a full recovery.</p>
<p>&#8220;During this stay, Secretary Austin never lost consciousness and never underwent general anesthesia,&#8221; they said. &#8220;Prostate cancer is the most common cause of cancer among American men, and it impacts 1 in every 8 men &#8211; and 1 in every 6 African American men &#8211; during their lifetime. Despite the frequency of prostate cancer, discussions about screening, treatment, and support are often deeply personal and private ones.&#8221;</p>
