Ms. Debjani De, 51, was 60 kg when she arrived at the Apollo Cancer Centre (ACC) in Kolkata in March 2023 and requested medical care without being aware of the 8 kg malignancy she was harboring in her uterus. She had a rare and “highly aggressive” uterine malignancy that had spread to her pelvic organs, according to a series of tests performed by ACC Kolkata oncologists. Her only available curative alternative required a supra-major operation that involved the removal of her rectum, urinary bladder, and a piece of her distal colon. The rectum, sigmoid colon, urinary bladder, and distal ureter had all been invaded by the cancer.

In a major medical breakthrough in Eastern India, the experts at Apollo Cancer Centre (ACC) Kolkata successfully treated a rare and complex case of Uterine Leiomyosarcoma (LSM). In eight hours of marathon surgery, the team of surgical oncologists successfully performed an open radical en bloc resection of the tumor measuring 27x27x23cm, excising all involved organs without any rupture and with minimal blood loss.

The team of doctors from various specialties was led by Dr. Supratim Bhattacharyya, Consultant Surgical Oncology, and Dr. Amit Choraria, Consultant Surgical Oncology, Apollo Cancer Centre Kolkata.

This extraordinary instance displays the excellent caliber of medical care offered by ACC Kolkata and exhibits the team’s proficiency in managing uncommon and complicated medical issues. The fact that this operation was successful gives many other patients with comparable uncommon and challenging illnesses hope.

Apollo Cancer Centre offers top-tier specialty healthcare services that are comparable in quality to those offered by the world’s top hospitals thanks to a team of well-known specialists and committed medical and paramedical personnel.
