This Thursday, the 29th, the King of football,Skin, passed away from colon cancer and complications from Covid-19. Despite being one of the diseases that kills the most in the world, this type of cancer is little known, as well as its symptoms, causes and treatment. It is worth remembering that the colon is located in the intestine of the body.
The disease is characterized by the emergence of malignant tumors at the site in question, which is part of the large intestine, in addition to the rectum and anus. As a cause, doctors say that there is a genetic factor, but that it is not the only one, since obesity, sedentary lifestyle, alcoholism and having an inflammatory bowel disease that can evolve.

Pelé had the disease discovered in 2021 and had surgery to remove the tumors that were present in his body. Despite this, her complication also revolves around a possible return, as remnants can end up staying and evolving to bother the human body system again, which happened.
Although the tumor can also focus on the rectum and anus, as previously mentioned, in Rei’s case it was the colon, but it ended up migrating to other organs. It is important to mention that cancer is usually preceded by adenomas, which are polyps that may or may not evolve into the disease that caused the death of the former player.
As a player, his numbers were impressive. In all, he played 1365 games with 1282 goals scored. The greatest idol in the history of Santos fans left a very strong legacy in the sport. Great players have already expressed the importance that the “King” left for the sport. Pepe, his Santos partner, claims that he is the club’s top scorer, as he considers Pelé to be an extraterrestrial.
