Lúcio Mauro Filho revealed that he was diagnosed with bowel cancer during an appearance on the podcast 'Alt Tabet,' hosted by António Tabet. The 52-year-old actor made the statement during a conversation where he was encouraged to share personal information.
The diagnosis occurred after a check-up that Lúcio underwent following treatment for Covid-19. He described the battle with the disease as part of a difficult period, which included the loss of his mother in February 2024.
