A case of good, if not excellent, health care, recorded at the hospital of Messina where a 69-year-old woman was successfully abducted tumor abdominal of 11 kg. The delicate surgery was performed by the team led by Professor Antonio Macrì, head of the interdepartmental program for the treatment of peritoneal tumors and soft tissue sarcomas of the University Hospital. The tumor mbad was so extensive that the woman's intestine had shifted to a small part of the peritoneal cavity.
The professor later explained the details of this resounding surgery: " This is an extremely rare case, even if it is not the first one we operated on, both for its histological nature but especially for the dimensions affected by neoplasia and for dissemination in some difficult-to-reach anatomical regions, involving large vessels, kidneys, intestine, peritoneum, muscles, bones, and nerve structures. , the tumor occupied the entire abdomen, disrupting the entire intestine in a very small part of the peritoneal cavity ". "It seems incredible that in the era of prevention – continued Professor Macrì -" we are still dealing with tumors of this size, but the place of origin and the Diffusion methods mean that such tumors give self-sign only in the advanced stages. We need to find more effective strategies to promote health education and involve more and more people in screening programs, in order to reduce the number of advanced cancers and, in any case, it is essential to 39, support centers dedicated to the treatment of these cancers.
After the intervention, which lasted about six hours, the 69-year-old girl remained at the Messina hospital for two weeks, after which she was released in excellent general condition.
