Pavlenko died on the morning of January 5. In the spring of 2018, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer, but he continued his medical practice at the N.I. Pirogov and led a video blog in which he talked about the course of his treatment and supported other patients.

The surgeon also created the Cancer Fund charity project to improve the quality of care for cancer patients in Russia.

The head of the Ministry of Health of Russia Veronika Skvortsova expressed condolences to his wife Pavlenko.
