[01] Christodoulos diagnosed with 'treatable' growth
Physicians treating hospitalised Archbishop of Athens and All Greece
Christodoulos on Wednesday announced that the influential Greek Church
leader was diagnosed with a "treatable" type of liver cancer in tandem
with an "unrelated" malignant growth in the large intestine, which was
removed via surgery last week.
Physicians speaking at a press conference at the Aretaion Hospital of
Athens stressed that Christodoulos was instrumental in allowing a
complete and public briefing regarding his condition.
No metastasis by the two malignant growths was detected, while last
week's surgery is expected to fully treat the cancer in the large
intestine, doctors said, adding that the Archbishop will remain in
intensive care for another two days at most.
