An incredible story about a woman who, perhaps out of fear, while having a breast cancer that had reached gigantic size , more than 15 pounds, had decided not to have surgery.
the woman, after years, has decided to undergo surgery for the removal of large tumor burdens. the operation, unique in history, is was performed by a medical team of the Gemelli hospital in Rome.
the medical direction of the hospital complex “Twins” reported that the operation was perfectly successful and lasted three hours. Riccardo Masetti, manager of ‘Area Women’s Health, commented on the exceptional intervention took place at Policlinico Gemelli in Rome: “It is a unique case for the size she arrived this tumor, grown locally so
abnormal.">
the doctors who operated the woman said the patient is doing well and has already been discharged. the 60 year old woman will not need, as a result, any plastic surgery.
Dr Massetti It underlined that: “Unfortunately it is not the first nor the last patient presenting to medical care with a very large tumor, but I can certainly say I’ve ever seen in 35 years of career tumor of this size. You still get to such extreme situations because sometimes the fear of cancer is so crippling as to create a vicious circle: you realize you have a tumor, fear stops you and the tumor continues to grow; anguish for the disease then adds a sense of shame and humiliation because you accountable for his misconduct, and arises the worry of being reprimanded for example by
family. ">
It seems that the patient, after years of hesitation, he decided to go to a doctor, after the tumor had started to bleed.
the deal, for the team of doctors at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, was particularly complex because it was the first time is to remove a tumor from the gigantic size.
Dr Masetti explained that: “Now we will have to wait for histology to decide the more useful treatments to prevent progression of this advanced disease. Usually these tumors are not very aggressive and also the development of any secondary injury occurs so slow. “
Riccardo Masetti explained that there are still many cases of patients who presented with tumors, even if located, they are in a very advanced stage. The Area Manager Women’s Health specified that: “Unfortunately locally advanced tumors there happens more than one month and with women of all ages and social conditions. This must make us reflect and question of what is wrong in our promotion of prevention and early detection campaigns. We need to find more effective ways to make education and in particular to help women overcome the strong fear that still generate tumors, afraid that sometimes paralyzes and prevents asking for help. “
