70-year-old's jaw reconstructed
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: Doctors at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital here have successfully carried out a tumour removal surgery and reconstruction of the jaw of a 70-year-old patient who came in with a history of oral cancer.
“What makes this case exceptional is the fact that the patient underwent 33 sittings of radiation and 12 doses of chemotherapy before coming to the hospital in Delhi. The disease was recurring despite the ongoing treatment. The patient had undergone PEG insertion last year for proper feeding. Surgical removal of the tumour was the only option available to ensure that the patient gets a chance to lead a disease-free life,” said Indraprastha Apollo Hospital senior consultant oncology Dr. Rohit. V. Nayyar.
