Doctors at the All India Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi on Friday announced a successful surgery where they removed a whopping 19.9 kg tumour from a 43-year-old colon cancer patient, giving her a new lease of life. Munmun was diagnosed with Stage-4 colon cancer, featuring pelvic predominance. Ray explained that colon cancer, once considered a terminal disease, is still curable in some cases. “Metastatic colon cancer should not be declared untreatable without evaluation at a high-volume center with expert surgeons,” he said. Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in women and the sixth most common cancer in men in India.
