In a remarkable display of medical expertise and patient resilience, an 85-year-old woman has made a full recovery after undergoing a complex surgery for ovarian cancer at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre in Mumbai.

Savitri Agarwal was initially diagnosed through a CT Scan with an ovarian mass two months prior, when her grandson brought her to Dr Vishnu Agarwal. While surgery was recommended, the family grappled with the decision due to the octogenarian's advanced age and the associated risks. Unfortunately, Savitri's condition deteriorated rapidly. A month later, she was admitted to Jaslok Hospital with severe vomiting, abdominal pain, and intestinal blockage caused by the growing tumour. Her condition was critical, leaving her with a life expectancy of mere weeks if left untreated.
