Gurugram: In a demonstration of advanced surgical expertise and collaborative care, a multidisciplinary team of doctors at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram successfully removed a Giant Cancerous Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST) from the abdomen of a 67-year-old woman from Ethiopia. Utilizing meticulous pre-operative planning and precise surgical techniques, the team removed the massive 12 kg tumour, marking a significant achievement in high-risk oncological surgery. Dr Amit Javed, Principal Director and HOD, GI, GI Onco, Bariatric, Robotic and MIS Surgery, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram said, “Treatment for such giant tumours are often refused by hospitals due to the high risk of uncontrolled bleeding and peri-operative complications. This case stands out not only due to the extraordinary size of the tumour, but also because of the uncertainty it posed even before surgery. In this particular case, where the patient was refused treatment at other leading hospitals, Our Team of Doctors successfully treated the patient with good clinical outcomes.”
