UK’s first liver transplant for advanced bowel cancer is a success
A young woman is cancer-free after undergoing the UK’s first liver transplant for advanced bowel cancer. Bianca Perea, a 32-year-old trainee lawyer from Manchester, was given the surgery in the hope it could offer a potential cure for her deadly disease. The procedure has been a huge success and together with other treatments: targeted drug therapy, chemotherapy and surgery; she now has no signs of cancer anywhere in her body.
