- He underwent an intensive regimen of 33 radiotherapy sessions and seven chemotherapy sessions over the past two months.
- Luís Roberto appeared live on Domingão com Huck on Sunday to describe the treatment, thank supporters and say his medical team and family are supporting his recovery.
- He framed the decision to withdraw from broadcasts as a choice to prioritize physical health and mental well‑being while he focuses on getting better.
- Neoplasia cervical means abnormal cell growth in the neck that can be benign or malignant, and early detection often allows treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy or immunotherapy to improve outcomes.
