Kazakh doctors save patient, tumor invading blood vessel removed
Surgeons at the Regional Multidisciplinary Oncology and Surgery Center in Zhambyl region, Kazakhstan, successfully performed a high-risk operation on a 54-year-old patient whose malignant tumor had spread beyond the kidney and invaded a major blood vessel, Qazinform News Agency reports.
The team removed the left kidney along with the tumor. They also extracted a tumor thrombus from the vessel lumen.
