Brazilian President Lula underwent a small surgical procedure to remove a skin lesion on his scalp in So Paulo on the morning of the 24th and was discharged the same day. Brazilian media reported that the lesion removed was a basal cell carcinoma, and the treatment process went smoothly without any complications. This type of lesion is usually related to long-term sun exposure and does not spread to other parts of the body. In addition, Lula also received local injections in his right hand to relieve symptoms of tendonitis. Reports stated that Lula canceled his public schedule for the day and is expected to return to the capital, Braslia, on the 26th. This medical procedure will not affect Lula's daily work or his presidential campaign activities.
