Jazz Gitti diagnosed with rare form of skin cancer: Singer calls for preventive screenings

After the procedure, another surgery is scheduled, which Jazz Gitti herself described as a „reine Beauty-OP am Ellbogen“. Just recently, she explained on oe24: „Ich war ein bissl übermütig und der Arzt muss noch einmal ran. Aber das ist eine reine Beauty-OP am Ellbogen“. Following the healing phase, radiation therapy is planned as soon as the wound has fully healed.

Further surgery and radiation therapy

Manager Roman Bogner spoke with the „Kronen Zeitung“ about how the artist is handling the diagnosis. The singer took the news „fast schon zu locker genommen“, Bogner said. Jazz Gitti herself announced that she wants to maintain her usual manner and continue to bring good cheer on stage. However, less strenuous engagements are planned for the coming weeks.

With regard to the findings, Jazz Gitti said: „Hätte ich gewartet, wäre alles anders“. She addressed herself explicitly to all people in Austria – including those who are not fans of hers: „warum ich alle Menschen bitte, dass sie zu Vorsorgeuntersuchungen gehen“. The singer sees herself in the role of an encourager for other cancer patients.

Appeal to the public

Martha Butbul became known under the stage name Jazz Gitti as a true Viennese character. The entertainer and singer's performances enjoy great popularity in Austria. Together with her husband, she maintains around 60,000 followers across her social media channels, where she regularly shares her everyday life.

The attending physicians are now waiting, together with Jazz Gitti and her husband, for the full recovery of the surgical site on her elbow. Once the wound has healed, the radiation therapy is to begin. The artist herself emphasized that she feels well and wants to continue channeling her energy into upcoming performances.

By going public, Jazz Gitti is also combining a concrete message: anyone who notices changes in their body should not hesitate to seek medical advice. Her own example shows that early evaluation can make the decisive difference. The story is intended above all to encourage other people to take preventive care seriously.
