“For the ovarian cancer that Bianca Balti suffers from, there are better treatments with a high probability of success. This is also thanks to the fact that in addition to surgery we have drugs that are very active in these cases. these include chemotherapy drugs and treatment drugs such as Parp inhibitors”. Giovanni Scambia, scientific director of the Agostino Gemelli Irccs Polyclinic Foundation in Romecomments on the issue of the top model Bianca Balti revealed in a post on Instagram that she underwent surgery to remove stage three ovarian cancer.
“Balti also has one mutation of the Brca gene – Reminder Scambia on the sidelines of the Esmo 2024 Congress America in Barcelona – This is a situation that lends itself to two ideas: first of all that must be underlined that today we have the opportunity to take care of such tumor better and in many times. we receive the healing of the sick. So Balti is right to be optimistic about his medical condition. The second consideration is related to the importance of prevention: it is fundamental, and in the case of a mutation of the Brca gene, preventive surgery must be performed which includes an ovarectomy, i.e. removal of the ovaries. It is important to identify patients with Brca mutations through appropriate tests.” Most of the time “identification takes place on a family basis, ie if there are cases of breast or ovarian cancer in our family. In these cases – it is recommended – it is better to contact specific hospitals”.
