In October 2004, Briski was diagnosed with breast cancer.[2] By 2012, it had metastasised into her lungs.[3] In 2014, Briski died from lung and breast cancer in Buenos Aires, Argentina, aged 48.[4]
Cancer
editIn October 2004, following a routine mammogram,[5] she was diagnosed with breast cancer.[6][7] She had a history of breast cancer in her family: her grandmother suffered and healed but died many years later of natural causes.[5] Mariana Briski had to endure two surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.[5][8]
―How do you tell your child that you were sick?
―I told him the truth. I think that when you know what is happening, you can deal with the pain in a better way. I sat Pedro down and told him, using words for a child his age, that I had something in my breast and that they had to take it out. He immediately asked me if the same thing was going to happen to him. I told him no and I also explained to him about the hair. Luckily there was a doll at home that you could take the hair out and put it back in and that helped.
―Did you ask for professional help to talk to him?
―Sure, I had professionals who helped me in all areas of my life for the couple, family, everything. I think Pedro took it pretty well. What's more, he's going to an art workshop and recently gave me a sculpture that was me, hat and all. He said, "So you won{t forget that you wear a hat".

In early 2011 she was diagnosed with metastases pulmonary large. In April 2011 she went to Dr. Crescenti to help chemotherapy to which she was subjected.[9]
