Lucía Galán Calls Life-Saving Pancreatic Cyst Discovery ‘A Miracle’ on Mirtha Legrand

She credits an incidental CT scan in Spain with revealing a premalignant pancreatic cyst later removed in Argentina.

Overview

  • Appearing on the season’s first Mar del Plata broadcast of Mirtha Legrand’s show, Galán said her health is good after a difficult recovery.
  • The lesion was spotted when a technician extended a chest CT to include the abdomen during tests for a bronchial issue in Madrid.
  • Surgeons at Sanatorio Mater Dei performed a preventive resection to remove a mucinous, premalignant cyst and reduce her risk of pancreatic cancer.
  • She disclosed that a postoperative complication slowed her recovery and forced a postponement of a planned tour in Spain.
  • Galán has resumed public appearances and urged clinicians to consider abdominal checks to improve early detection.
