Sebastián Quintero Discovered the Cancer He Didn't Feel | In the Spotlight
Dr. Sebastián Quintero had spent years supporting cancer patients, but an image on an ultrasound led him to his own diagnosis. He hadn't gone to the exam because of cancer symptoms. A test for another illness paved the way for a discovery that changed his life and his understanding of fear.
In this conversation with Juan Diego, the surgeon and breast specialist recounts how his papillary thyroid carcinoma was discovered, what he felt upon recognizing something alarming on the screen, and how he has dealt with relapses while preparing for his fifth surgery. He also talks about his daughter, Leticia, and why fatherhood transformed his feelings about entering an operating room.
The interview explores his family history, his father's legacy, and the human side of a profession where communicating a diagnosis is part of the job. Drawing on his experience as both a doctor and a patient, Sebastián Quintero discusses the obstacles to accessing healthcare in Colombia and the importance of early detection.
She also addresses common misconceptions about breast cancer related to deodorant, bras, bruising, and breast implants. She explains the differences between self-exams, mammograms, and ultrasounds, and shares her perspective on cookware materials and factors associated with cancer.
