The 65-year-old Hateful eight actor has reportedly been spotted with unattractive sores beneath his lower lip that are thought to be caused by Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), which has been related to intestinal cancer.
Cancer.Net reports that “the lifetime risk of cancer in those with PJS may be as high as 93 percent.”
The sores are “precancerous lesions that can become aggressive and dangerous if not treated immediately and properly,” said Dr. Stuart Fischer, who does not treat Kurt.
Kurt “needs immediate tests,” agrees immunologist and Maryland resident Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who also believes that PJS may be to fault for the sores. He requires therapy as soon as possible.
