Doctors at the Can Tho General Hospital have succeeded in removing an 11-kilogram tumor from a 60-year-old man’s stomach.
Dr. La Van Phu, head of surgery, said May 21 that Thieu Thanh Xuan of Binh Minh Town -- in the nearby province of Vinh Long -- was brought in on May 13, fatigued and with a distended stomach.
A CT scan revealed the tumor that occupied his entire stomach.
Doctors performed a three-hour surgery on May 21 to remove it.
Xuan is now recovering.
