Brazilian actor Lúcio Mauro Filho has publicly disclosed that he was diagnosed with intestinal cancer in 2022. The diagnosis was discovered by chance during a routine medical check-up following a severe bout of Covid-19.

Filho noted that he kept the diagnosis private at the time because early detection allowed for successful, non-invasive treatment, and he is currently in remission. He shared that the experience, coupled with the loss of his mother to cancer, led him to adopt healthier lifestyle habits. 

His revelation has highlighted the importance of colorectal cancer screening. Medical experts emphasize that early diagnosis through methods such as colonoscopies or the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) significantly increases cure rates. In Brazil, colorectal cancer accounts for approximately ten percent of new annual cancer cases.
