A unique operation to remove the tumor was successfully performed in Rostov
A unique operation was performed at the Rostov Cancer Institute. The specialists of the clinic managed to remove the neoplasm, which was localized in the pelvic region of a five-year-old boy. Such a rare location of the tumor confused the doctors of the Rostov institute, because such a huge tumor is considered to be non-operable.
Of course, it was decided to conduct preliminary chemotherapy. In total, no less than 6 courses were held. After the desired effect was achieved, it was decided to perform the operation. A huge difficulty for the doctors was that the tumor was located on the diaphragm of the pelvis, and it was also connected to the wall of the bladder, and it started from the prostate gland. The size of the neoplasm is 5 centimeters. The boy was eventually successfully operated on, the tumor was removed, and all the functions of the body were preserved and restored, but the little patient of the institute has a long course of chemotherapy ahead of him. Doctors expect that the boy will fully recover, as there are no metastases.
It should be noted that the survival rate of patients within the walls of the Rostov Research Cancer Institute reaches 85%.
