Durgabai Deshmukh Renova Cancer Centre achieves medical milestone

The surgical team at Durgabai Deshmukh Renova Cancer Centre, Vidyanagar, successfully performed a rare and complex surgery to remove a massive 15×10 cm tumor from the right chest of a 36-year-old woman from West Bengal, offering her a new lease on life. The patient, Samsun Nahar Bibi, had been suffering from severe respiratory distress and chronic chest pain. She  was diagnosed with "Right Hemithorax Fibromatosis", a rare cancer. 

Due to the tumor's size and its proximity to vital organs such as the heart and lungs, the surgery was deemed risky. After evaluating the case, Dr. U. Azad Chandrasekhar, Surgical Oncologist and Medical Director initiated a comprehensive treatment plan. The surgery lasted nearly 8 to 10 hours and during the procedure, the tumor was successfully removed without causing damage to vital organs such as the heart and lungs. She recovered significantly and was discharged in good health within ten days.
