Rumors about the health of Vladimir Putin continue. Blood cancer, thyroid cancer, Parkinson’s disease, mental disorders – these are just some of the diseases that are attributed to the dictator. And although there are many voices that these “diagnoses” are pure speculations, and the president is in fact quite in good shape, unofficial journalistic investigations point to something completely different. And this raises the question: how much time has Putin left? Below we explain the prognosis of patients with “his diseases”.
- Vladimir Putin’s entourage is very careful that no news about his health sees the light of day
- Recently, however, information has emerged from high-ranking people from intelligence that the president suffers from a severe form of cancer and has no more than three years of life left.
- The prognosis for neoplastic or dementia, most often attributed to Putin, depends on many factors

Thyroid cancer – prognosis
Speculations about neoplastic diseases dominate among the reports on Vladimir Putin’s health. It is enhanced by information such as that which «The Independent» has reached. The newspaper, citing FBS, claims that Putin “is no more than two to three years old”. The president is to suffer from a “severe form of rapidly progressing cancer”.
The secret service officer Borys Karpyczkow, who in an interview with the Sunday Mirror said that Putin struggles with headaches and is losing his eyesight. «(…) when he appears on television, he needs pieces of paper with everything written in capital letters to read what he has to say – he said.
Reports about the deteriorating health of Vladimir Putin have been strongly denied by Sergey Lavrov, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In an interview with the French channel TF1, he said that in his opinion the president had no signs of ailments attributed to him. He also noted that despite his age (he will be 70 in October), he is very active and often appears in public. «You can watch him on screens, read him and listen to his speeches. I leave it to the conscience of those who spread such rumors »- he added.
Thyroid cancer – prognosis
Until now, it was believed that the president suffered from thyroid cancer. It is a disease that most often affects middle-aged and mature people, initially showing almost no symptoms. One of the first symptoms that patients notice is a tumor within the thyroid gland, but signs of cancer may also include: enlarged lymph nodes, hoarseness, wheezing or shortness of breath, although these symptoms indicate rather advanced stage of cancer.
The prognosis for thyroid cancer depends largely on its type. The one that occurs the least frequently (5-10% of cases), i.e. anaplastic thyroid cancer, has the worst. This type of cancer grows very quickly, is extremely aggressive, and does not respond to the most common cancer treatments. Most patients die within six months of diagnosis, despite the removal of the gland with malignant tumor cells.
Other types of thyroid cancer are milder and most patients have a chance of being cured. It is estimated that in differentiated cases (follicular cancer of the thyroid gland and papillary cancer of the thyroid gland) the chances of recovery are up to 90%.

How long do patients with blood cancer survive?
Recently, there is more and more talk that Putin suffers not from thyroid cancer, but from blood cancer. Such information was provided by New Lines Magazine, whose journalists referred to the statement by the oligarch associated with the Kremlin. He was to say that the dictator is “very sick” and suffers from “cancer of the blood”.
From a medical point of view, these are very broad generalities, on the basis of which it is difficult to determine not only what the prognosis is, but even what specific disease we are dealing with. The term “blood cancer” covers not only the different types of leukemia, but also lymphomas and myelomas.
In the case of acute leukemia, the prognosis is not the worst, but only if the disease is detected early enough. Early diagnosis and well-chosen treatment save up to 80% of lives. patients. However, if the cancer is not diagnosed promptly, the patient may die even within a few months of developing the disease.
When it comes to chronic leukemia, the average life expectancy of patients diagnosed is seven years. However, there are cases of complete recovery of the sick.
The prognosis for lymphoma is difficult to estimate because in addition to the stage of cancer at diagnosis, the type of disease is also involved. The types of lymphoma include those that develop very slowly, but also the most malignant types. However, there are known cases of quickly diagnosed and successfully treated lymphomas for up to several years.
With multiple myeloma, many patients live with the diagnosis for years. Although this type of blood cancer is incurable, proper treatment can not only extend life expectancy, but also significantly increase its comfort.
Dementia – life expectancy with the disease
Dementia such as dementia and Parkinson’s disease are also on the list of diseases Putin may suffer from.
The first concerns up to 50 million people around the world. Senile dementia (or senile dementia) is a condition that affects the work of the brain in several areas of the brain, causing degeneration, degeneration, and even partial loss of organ tissues.
You can survive for several years after diagnosis with dementia. The problem is not with life expectancy, but with its quality. The progressive symptoms of dementia significantly affect daily functioning, depriving patients of basic skills and cognitive abilities. The comfort of life can be improved by appropriately selected therapy (e.g. cognitive-behavioral therapy) and physical activity.
Putin is also credited with Parkinson’s disease, which would be evidenced, among others, by noticed shaking of the hands and slowing down of movements (including facial muscles). Life expectancy with parkinson’s is now 20 years. Complications of the disease are usually the direct cause of death of patientswhich occur as a result of the degeneration of the central nervous system. The most common are pneumonia and cardiovascular disorders.
