Presidente Lula iniciou radioterapia complementar no couro cabeludo após remoção de carcinoma basocelular. O tratamento visa reduzir o risco de retorno da doença, que raramente se espalha mas pode causar deformidades se não tratada.
Brazilian President Lula will undergo 15 sessions of superficial radiotherapy on his scalp after the surgical removal of a basal cell carcinoma. The cancer, which is common and rarely metastasizes, was located on his scalp and is typically treated with surgery. Radiotherapy is being used as a complementary treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence.
President Lula underwent a complementary treatment for skin cancer removal at Hospital Sírio Libanês. Doctors confirmed the lesion was localized and had not spread. The procedure was for a basal cell carcinoma, the most common type caused by sun exposure.
