The one as the former president (PL) has little chance of returning when withdrawn completely. However, the patient is more at risk of developing other similar tumors, according to experts heard by Sheet.
This is because risk factors of the disease are not modifiable. A prolonged sun exposure throughout life, having a light skin and having had before is factors that increase the chances of developing a new carcinoma of the genre.
The after tests performed on Sunday (14), according to the medical team that provided the service.
The bulletin released by DF Star Hospital pointed two of squamous cells. Bolsonaro will have to undergo clinical follow -up and periodic reassessment to verify that new similar lesions may appear.
Bolsonaro had eight lesions removed, and in two was detected, one in the arm and one in the chest. The removal of the on -site injury is curative, which eliminates the need for additional treatments such as chemotherapy.
“After a diagnosis of non -melanoma skin cancer, the patient has a two to five times higher risk of developing new skin cancer compared to the general population,” says doctor Camila Jappour Naegele of the oncology of D’Or, a specialist in skin cancer.
“And statistics say that 30% to 50% [dos pacientes] That had skin cancer may develop another injury over the next five years, “he adds.
Scamous cell carcinoma is a type of non -melanoma skin cancer, originates from the outer layer of the epidermis and accounts for 20% of the total cases of skin cancer.
Non -melanoma is the tumor of highest incidence, but that of lower mortality is treated properly. Ideally, as soon as identified, it is treated as soon as possible.
In Bolsonaro’s case, the injuries were identified as suspicion by the doctor in April, when he was admitted to surgery, and the withdrawal only happened now.
When identified, according to the accumargo dermatologist Cancer Center Julia Casagrande, the tumor should be removed between two weeks and a month later, ideally.
“This type of cancer has intermediate aggressiveness. So, depending on the subtype, it grows significantly in a short time, and in a matter of a month or two, it can evolve from a clinical and manifestation point of view,” he says.
In terms of post-surgery recovery, Casagrande states that it usually lasts from two to three weeks. In the period, the patient has the points and a restriction on physical activities and others involving greater efforts.
In addition to the result of injury analysis, Bolsonaro has made a series of exams that identified persistence of anemia and changes in renal function. He also performed magnetic resonance imaging to try to identify the reasons behind dizziness symptoms, but the exam did not identify serious changes.
These symptoms, however, are not usually related to skin cancer, experts.
