Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has had his hair and trademark¹ beard shaved off as he battles throat cancer.

巴西前总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦为治疗咽喉癌将其头发和标志性胡须剃掉。

Doctors say Lula's chances of beating cancer are very good
Lula was shaved by his wife Marisa Leticia ahead of his next round of chemotherapy（化学疗法） , which can make a patient's hair fall out.

Pictures released by the former leader's press office show him bald and beardless - but still with a moustache.

His doctors have said his chances of recovery from cancer are "very good".

He has already completed a first chemotherapy session without complications（并发症） and is due to have three more by the end of the year before beginning radiation therapy.

Lula, 66, stepped down last year after two terms as president with record approval ratings.

His diagnosis² of cancer last month shocked Brazil, where he remains³ a very influential⁴ political figure.

Lula is a former smoker⁵ and is widely known as a drinker - two habits thought to increase the chances of throat cancer.
