Stella Kyriakides completes cancer treatment

Former European Commissioner for Health and current DISY Member of Parliament, Stella Kyriakides, announced on October 27, 2026, that she has successfully completed a cycle of chemotherapy. The announcement comes exactly one month after she publicly disclosed her diagnosis of gynecological cancer.

In a message posted to her personal social media accounts, Kyriakides expressed her gratitude to the medical staff who treated her and extended her support to fellow patients. She emphasized that her personal experience has further strengthened her resolve to advocate for cancer awareness and public health initiatives. She pledged to continue the fight against the disease in solidarity with others, reinforcing her ongoing commitment to the cause.

Kyriakides, a prominent political figure in Cyprus, has long been associated with health policy during her tenure as European Commissioner. While she has finished this specific course of treatment, her statements indicate an intent to remain active in public health advocacy as she continues her recovery journey.
