With the new cancer treatment, surgeons remove the organ, clean it, and put it back in place.

Israeli surgeons have developed a revolutionary technology for the surgical treatment of cancer, which allows replacing transplantation.

At Beilinson Hospital, doctors cut out the affectedlung, cleaned it of tumors and returned to the place after inflation and testing the performance of tissues. Throughout the operation, the patient continued to breathe in the second lung. Doctors say that this method can be applied to other organs and forms of cancer.

Forty-year-old man was hospitalized because a tumor in his left lung blocked the main artery, which led to its destruction. Initially, the doctors wanted to remove it completely because of the long queue for transplantation. However, they decided to use a new technique in order to avoid the deterioration of the patient's condition and not to use chemotherapy.

The operation lasted several hours and a whole group of surgeons, anesthetists and technicians took part in it. According to doctors, such a method can radically change the treatment of cancer worldwide.

Recall that recently, surgeons also reportedsuccessful completion of the world's first transplant of laboratory-grown muscle fibers into a damaged area of ​​the heart of a patient suffering from severe heart failure.
