Doctor diagnosed with cancer from patient, shocking case revealed for the first time in the world
For the first time in medical history, such a shocking case has come to light, which has shaken the medical world. A rare incident of a German doctor getting cancer from his own patient has sparked a debate among experts.
A shocking case has come to light in the medical world, where a doctor got cancer from a patient during an operation. This incident has happened for the first time in the world, which has shocked the medical community. A 53-year-old surgeon operated on a 32-year-old patient to remove a rare type of cancerous tumor from his stomach.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, 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 lump had developed at the site where the hand was cut. On examination, it was found that this lump was a malignant tumor and it was the same type of cancer that was found in the patient's body. Experts confirmed after examination that this tumor was caused by tumor cells associated with the patient's cancer.
How was the cancer transferred?
According to the medical report, during the operation, the patient's tumor cells reached his body through the doctor's amputated hand. Normally, when foreign tissues or cells enter a body, the body's immunity destroys them. But in this case, the doctor's body's immunity failed to destroy tumor cells.
The case was first reported in 1996 and has recently been published in the New England Journal of Medicine. According to the report, this rare type of cancer is called 'malignant fibrous histiocytoma', which develops in soft tissue. According to medical experts, such a case is very rare and unlikely. Usually, immunity does not accept foreign cells during transplant. But in this case, the doctor's immunity proved to be weak.
How's the doctor's position now?
The doctor's tumour was successfully removed and the cancer has not returned to his body even after two years. This case has become a new topic for cancer-related research in the medical world.
