A Patient From Maharashtra Overcomes Liver Cancer – Low-grade Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Surgery

Dr. T.P.S. Bhandari, a renowned Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist from Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, and Mr. Nikhil Chowdary, son of Mr. Kudlik Rao Chowdary from Amaravati, Maharashtra. In this video, they share the inspiring story of Mr. Kudlik Rao Chowdary, a 57-year-old gentleman, as he successfully overcomes life-threatening Liver Cancer.

Mr. Kudlik Rao Chowdary discovered a substantial liver tumour during his routine check-up in his hometown, which indicated a diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Although surgery was recommended, the doctor explained the potential risks and the complexity of the procedure. Faced with a significant challenge, a relative of Mr. Chowdhary suggested Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, known for its expertise in managing and performing successful surgeries.

Upon arrival, Mr. Nikhil Chowdary and Mr. Kudlik Rao Chowdary were directed to Dr. T.P.S. Bhandari. The doctor’s comprehensive approach included detailed diagnostic tests such as PET CT scans, sonography, and blood tests, confirming the localised nature of the disease. A successful Right Hepatectomy was performed, which took approximately two hours and involved the removal of more than 60% of the liver. Mr. Kudlik Rao Chaudhary was later discharged on the third postoperative day.

Histopathology reports later confirmed a Low-grade Hepatocellular Carcinoma with clear margins, eliminating the need for additional treatments. Mr. Kudlik Rao Chaudhary is now leading a healthy and active life, a testament to the precision and care provided by Dr. T.P.S. Bhandari. Mr. Nikhil Chowdary expresses his sincere gratitude to Dr. T.P.S. Bhandari and highly recommends Apollo Hospitals and Dr. Bhandari’s exceptional medical care.
