Santos to be examined in Colombia and US for possible cancer relapse

Santos to be examined in Colombia and US for possible cancer relapse

written by Brian Levesque November 15, 2016



Colombia President Juan Manuel Santos was examined on Tuesday amid fears of a possible relapse of the prostate cancer he was treated for in 2012.

The president was undergoing tests in the Santa Fe Foundation of Bogota, and would be flying to John Hopkins Hospital in the United States on Wednesday for further examination.

According to a press statement, the medical center, “under medical supervision … an increase was detected in PSA values. A second review was conducted for verification, which confirmed the increase.”

Doctors recommended that “the president take an additional study with technology not available in this country.”
