Mr. Mahesh - Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma | Dr. Amit Rauthan | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

[Music] I was uh quite a healthy person and until about 2015 when I was diagnosed with uh a severe cough and con constant cough for about uh 2 or 3 months I had ignored it earlier and then slowly when we went for diagnosis through my uh cardiologist we were put through a series of tests and in one of the tests in in the ultrasound it showed a uh small tumor in my kidney left kidney they found a small uh spot in the Pet Scan and we we noticed that it had developed into a malignant tumor again and the subsequent scans showed that it had spread to the rest of the kidney also he had presented to us with metastasis where the kidney cancer had already spread out we had treated him with uh with the standard treatment at that time which was sentin and that was the only oral tablet available and after 3 months of sunon he progressed extensively he had disease growing in the liver he had disease growing in the Peroni bone he had become almost bedridden he ended up going to the ICU also and that was a time when in 2016 we did not have much to offer we spoke to the family we spoke to mahesh's wife we spoke to Mahesh and we said that this was a time where we have very limited treatments to offer but as a family and mahes they took very determined steps forward and said they want to try whatever is possible in the world and that was the year 2016 when immunotherapy was the first time approved in the world and this was a drug nilab approved for kidney cancer which had progressed on the treatment like suntin now this drug was not available in India at that time we reported the drug and we gave Mahesh three cycles of nimap and just in three Cycles he showed a remarkable response his tumor shrunk down he became much better he started walking around and then when we did a scan after 2 months it was amazing to see the whole tumor had responded extremely well and this is probably he was the first patient on India to receive immunotherapy at that time finished treatment in 2017 we stopped treatment after 1 year because his scans were completely normal with regard to manipol hospital my experience with them has been extremely good Dr amit's team especially his administrative staff his Junior doctors nursing staff in dayare all of them were very um kind and uh caring you can imagine I did almost about 18 sittings of uh immunotherapy they were very supportive and uh um always smiling so that gives you a sort of uh feeling at home and encouragement which is another important aspect for fighting the disease [Music]
