Venezuelan intensive care doctor Chavez has tumour with 3 metastasis
A recognized Venezuelan intensive care doctor said that President Hugo Chavez has a tumour with three metastasis that have expanded to his liver, suprarenal glands and bladder, “Gazeta.ru” reported.
Doctor Jose Rafael Marquina who lives in Florida told ABC from Madrid that he has ‘first hand’ information of the Venezuelan president health from specialists working close to him.
“Chavez has a cancerous tumour which has extended to three metastasis, in the liver, suprarenal glands, retroperitoneal space and the bladder”, said Dr. Marquina.
“When they called to tell me Chavez had a new two centimetres tumour and he had to be intervened in Caracas, he chose to have treatment in Havana where a laparoscopy was practiced. They then realized how advanced cancer was and decided to eliminate just the necrotic tissue. They did not extract the suprarenal glands fearing complications”, explained Marquina.
Asked if Chavez could be treated with chemotherapy Marquina said “probably they will” but “I haven’t that piece of information yet”.
