Banaras: Doctors of Varanasi's Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya Cancer Center after a six-hour-long operation successfully carried out India's biggest tumor surgery. The doctors here removed a 30-kg tumor from the stomach of a cancer patient. Dr Mayank Tripathi, Associate Professor of the Surgery Department, said that the 55-year-old cancer patient had complained of increasing size and pain in his abdomen. When the patient was examined, it was found that he had a huge tumor in his stomach, and a team of three doctors performed a successful operation on the patient and removed the 30 kg tumor.
Tripathi further said that the patient had retroperitoneal liposarcoma, which is a rare form of cancer and the doctors found the tumor near the blood vessels inside the patient's stomach, which is a sensitive part and the doctors took six hours to complete the operation. Tripathi said that the 4 cm long and 46 metres wide tumor weighs equal to twelve newborns and the tumor is probably the biggest cancer tumor in the country. The operation was considered to be the biggest successful operation in the country, he added.
