A cancer tumor was found in the dean's office employee of the journalism faculty after a fall on the stairs of UrFU
August 27, 2026 In Yekaterinburg, relatives and oncologists are fighting for the life of Marina Belkova, a specialist in the dean's office of the journalism faculty at UrFU, who was diagnosed with a malignant tumor shortly after a severe fall from the university stairs.
Marina Belkova had worked as a specialist in the dean's office at the journalism faculty for over 20 years. As Maria Vedernikova, Marina Nikolaevna Belkova's daughter, told "KP-Yekaterinburg," in January 2026, her mother fell down the stairs while exiting the UrFU building at 19 Mira Street. The woman hit her side hard but stayed home without taking sick leave. In February, she experienced unbearable back pain. During an examination at the hospital, where Marina Nikolaevna was brought by her son, a tumor was found. The exact diagnosis—stage four plasma cell cancer—was revealed to Marina Nikolaevna in May, after undergoing tomography and tests, reports "KP-Yekaterinburg."
The woman has already undergone three courses of chemotherapy aimed at reducing the tumor and metastases. Only after this can doctors perform surgery to remove the affected vertebrae and install implants in their place. She will also likely need a bone marrow transplant. Marina Nikolaevna's daughter Maria organized a fundraising campaign for her mother's treatment and rehabilitation on her "VKontakte" page.
