Indian doctors successfully cure 'rare' cancer

The oncology team of Artemis hospital has successfully cured a patient suffering from a rare type of cancer called Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Trachea.

An exceptional and 'one of its kind' surgery was successfully performed at Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon by a team of doctors, which comprised of Surgical Oncologists, Otolaryngologist and Anesthesiologists, who naturally reconstructed the 33-year-old patient, Hamid Taha's windpipe.

For the past 2 years Taha could not speak or eat properly, or even, breathe through his nose due to cancer in the windpipe, but the doctors eliminated the tumour by clipping 7.8 cm of his windpipe and later reconstructed it naturally with the help of muscle flaps and pericardium.

Discussing the procedures involved, Dr. Mandeep Singh, Head - Surgical Oncology, said, "This is a first time incident in India, wherein, such a large length of the cancerous wind pipe was cut off and reconstruction was intricate because the usual method of joining the two parts of windpipe was not an option".

Cardiac Sarcoidosis:

Sarcoidosis is a poorly understood disease that most commonly affects the lungs but can also involve almost every part of the body including the heart. Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is estimated to be present in 10-25 percent of patients with sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis is characterized by the presence of granulomas, which are ball-like collections of white blood cells that cluster around and react to a foreign substance. The inflammation associated with granulomas can damage virtually every part of the heart, including the electrical system, muscle, valves, arteries, and surrounding tissue called the pericardium. It is important to remember CS can precede, follow, or occur simultaneously with other non-cardiac forms of sarcoid.
