At RoyalLee Cancer Hospital, we treated a patient with advanced colon cancer and multiple metastases. The patient was referred to us by a family member, who had also undergone treatment here with excellent results. According to them, our hospital offers not only top-tier medical care but also maintains high standards of hygiene and patient comfort. After her initial treatment, the patient reported significant improvement and was much happier with her condition.

However, over a year after her initial colorectal cancer surgery, the patient experienced a recurrence. A CT scan revealed the presence of a large mass in her abdomen. The tumor was extensive, tightly pressing against the surrounding intestinal tissues and the abdominal wall, leaving no space for easy access during surgery. This presented significant challenges for our surgical team.

In addition to its size, the tumor was adhered to multiple organs and major blood vessels, making the operation particularly delicate. There was a risk of damaging major blood vessels, which could result in uncontrollable intraoperative bleeding. We had to proceed with extreme caution to minimize these risks.

Another challenge was the patient’s adaptation to the tumor. Given its size, sudden removal could affect her blood pressure and blood perfusion, requiring careful management of anesthesia. Fortunately, throughout the procedure, the anesthesia remained stable, and the patient's blood pressure was well-controlled.

We successfully removed the tumor, which we estimated to be approximately 20 centimeters in width and weighing between 7 to 10 kilograms. Thankfully, no intraoperative complications occurred.

Post-surgery recovery was excellent. Within eight to nine days, the patient was able to eat normally and engage in general activities without any issues. She is now preparing for discharge, and we expect a very positive outcome moving forward.
