Actual diagnosis in the death of Eva Perone - Forum

[Curious]

Does anyone, in particular surgeons from Argentina, know the actual diagnosis in the very early death of Eva Perone? Was it ovarian carcinoma?

[Jorjo]

Eva Peron (not Perone) died with uterus cancer.

I think that Curious like more details of the diagnosis. You must remember that the diagnosis of VIP is always in darkness; beside, at the 50`s the precision on the diagnosis may be different to the 90`s (I am sure). I remember in a vague form this time, and I thinked in pancreas carcinoma, and for me, Juan Domingo Peron and Eva Duarte is a well knowed people.

I would animate to tell that in Argentina very nearly all the people thik that Eva Peron has die to cause or because of uterus cancer . I'm 48 y.o. and I did never had listened about other diagnosis . . Personally remember that when I was resident (in 1974) acompanied Profesor Emilio Burucua to Hospital Israelita in Buenos Aires and we gone to greet to Dr Moises Polak pathologist that have intervened , as specialist , in the last illnes of Eva Peron . I was witness when Dr Polak answered the same question that did Dr Burucua and He affirms that was tried of uterus cancer .

[Surgeon]

Was it a uterine endometrial cancer or a uterine cervical cancer or some other uterine cancer?

[Oncologist]

My information is that she died of advanced, untreated cervical carcinoma. Towards the end, an eminent American surgeon (probably Pack), performed a limited explaratory laparotomy, finding disseminated disease.

To respond to your question with more security , did a consultation with a pathologist disciple of Dr Polak . and told me that , he also , had listenned your master to comment on the case of Eva Peron that was tried of epidermoid carcinoma of uterine cervix and that in those days , possibly by be handling a secret of state , the specimen was remitted with a false name but ,that had not doubt for that was about of that lady . The diagnosis by other side , corresponds by epidemiology to the age.
