As people deal with many different sicknesses, it is often difficult to find hope not only for the patient but also for their family members. However, modern medical advances have made it possible to treat what was once thought to be difficult and may be impossible too. 

In the most recent cases from this week, an elderly Mumbai man experienced relief after city doctors removed a tumour from his heart, helping him lead a normal life.

Doctors at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital gave a new lease of life to a 74-year-old man from Mumbai, who was diagnosed with a lemon sized tumour (5x5 cm) inside his heart along with severe artery blockage after a simple ECG investigation. Using advanced Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS), the surgical team successfully removed the tumour and restored blood flow to the blocked artery on the right side of the chest.
