Summary:
Dr.
Nadkarni said in 2002 he had removed a brain tumour weighing 1.4 kg from a patient in KEM Hospital. A shopkeeper from Uttar Pradesh, Mr.
Pal’s tumour had been growing for the past three years. Doctors said the tumour had cost Mr.
Pal his vision, but hoped he would gradually regain his eyesight. Doctors said pressure applied by the mass of flesh on Mr.
Pal’s brain led to loss of vision. Mr.
Pal’s wife Manju said that they approached three hospitals in Uttar Pradesh, but all doctors said that the tumour was inoperable..
