Former President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil has been diagnosed with skin cancer.
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, as confirmed by his treating physician, Dr. Claudio Birolini. The diagnosis was made after two skin spots were removed during a recent operation.
The exact type of skin cancer Bolsonaro has was not specified in the article, but it is neither the mildest nor the most aggressive form. Bolsonaro has been under house arrest recently but was admitted to the hospital due to nausea, dizziness, and low blood pressure.
The hospital examination also revealed signs of a recent lung infection in Bolsonaro. As a result, he spent a night in the hospital for observation and treatment. Bolsonaro was able to leave the hospital on Wednesday, as his health condition improved.
It is important to note that Bolsonaro has had to be medically treated several times in recent months due to complications from a stabbing during the 2018 election campaign. Last week, he was sentenced to more than 27 years in prison for his role in a coup attempt after his defeat against his leftist successor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The sentence was issued due to his attempts to overturn the election results.
Bolsonaro's squamous cell carcinoma requires regular monitoring by a doctor. The specific details of his treatment plan have not been disclosed. The former president's health issues are a concern for many Brazilians, as he remains a prominent figure in Brazilian politics.
