Doctor got cancer because of the patient: A shocking case has come to light in the medical world. Where a doctor diagnosed a patient with cancer during an operation. This incident has happened for the first time in the world. Which has shocked the medical community. The case is from Germany, where a 53-year-old surgeon operated on and removed a rare cancerous tumor from the stomach of a 32-year-old patient.
The doctor’s hand was cut during the operation but it was immediately disinfected and bandaged. However, after five months, the doctor noticed that a small tumor had developed where the hand had been amputated. Upon examination, it was found that the tumor was a malignant tumor and it was the same type of cancer that was present in the patient’s body. After investigation, experts confirmed that the tumor was caused by tumor cells attached to the patient’s cancer.
How did the cancer transfer?
According to the medical report, the patient’s tumor cells entered his body through the doctor’s severed hand during the operation. Normally, when any foreign tissue or cell enters the body, the body’s immunity destroys it, but in this case, the doctor’s body’s immunity failed to destroy the tumor cells.
This rare incident in medical history
The case was first reported in 1996 and was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. According to the report, this rare type of cancer is medically called malignant fibrous histiocytoma which develops in soft tissues. According to medical experts, such a case is very rare and its probability is also very less. Normally, immunity does not accept foreign cells during transplant, but in this case the doctor’s immunity proved to be weak.
How is the doctor now?
The doctor successfully removed the tumor and two years later the cancer has not returned. This case has become a new topic for cancer research in the medical world.
