**Anantapur, [Date]** – Doctors at KIMS Savera Hospital in Anantapur have successfully performed a life-saving surgery on a 50-year-old woman suffering from stomach cancer.
G. Chikkamma, a resident of Yathakal village in Settur mandal, arrived at the hospital weighing only 30 kg due to severe gas and loss of appetite. After a series of tests, including endoscopy, ultrasound, and CT scans, doctors diagnosed her with stomach cancer.
“We removed her stomach entirely,” explained consultant surgical gastroenterologist Dr. N. Mahammad Shahid, adding that chemotherapy or radiation were not required. “After a week in the hospital, she was discharged without complications.”
Dr. Shahid highlighted the complexity of gastric cancer, stating that around 1 million cases are detected worldwide annually.
KIMS Savera CEO, P. Srinivas Prasad, emphasized the hospital’s commitment to providing advanced medical care in the region. “With changing lifestyles, cancer has become a major health concern,” he said. “Previously, many heart attack patients had to travel to larger cities for treatment, resulting in unfortunate outcomes. Our hospital was the first in the region to offer modern cardiac care, saving countless lives. Now, we are proud to offer life-saving cancer treatments as well.”
This successful surgery at KIMS Savera Hospital marks another milestone in the hospital’s efforts to provide high-quality medical care to the people of Anantapur and surrounding areas.
