Continental Hospital in Hyderabad has successfully completed two groundbreaking cancer cases. These achievements are a world record and a first in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. To celebrate this milestone, a success meet was held at Continental Hospitals in Hyderabad on December 19.
The Continental Cancer Centre at Continental Hospitals in Hyderabad performed a unique Dendritic Cell Therapy for a patient with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor. This therapy uses the immune system to fight cancer cells. Dr. AVS Suresh, a senior consultant for Medical Oncology and Hematology, explained that the treatment involves extracting the patient’s immune cells and cancer cells to create a vaccine with the help of a drug manufacturer. The vaccine is then administered through the skin.
Dr. Guru N Reddy, the founder and chairman of Continental Hospitals, praised the team at the Continental Cancer Centre for their achievement.
The centre also successfully removed a 15 kg tumor from a 30-year-old female patient while preserving her uterus and ovaries. Dr. P Jagannath, the director of the Continental Cancer Centre, explained the complexity of the case, mentioning that the tumor had grown extensively and hidden the uterus. Thanks to the expertise of the multidisciplinary team at the centre, the tumor was removed successfully through a complex surgery.
Dr. Guru N Reddy commended the surgical oncologists at the Continental Cancer Centre for their exceptional work.
