PATIENT RECOVERY

'Sheer tumour size even made MRI scans difficult': AIIMS-Rishikesh doctors remove 35kg cancer mass from UP man’s leg; patient to be discharged soon

"The surgery was highly challenging because of the size and weight of the tumour, confirmed to be 34.7 kg (53×24×19 inches) upon removal. Its sheer size made magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans difficult, and hence an angiography was performed beforehand to assess the abnormal vascularisation and blood supply," Dr Dhingra added.
