According to the report, the famous TV actor had been undergoing treatment at Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital.
Actor Vibhu Raghave was diagnosed with Stage-4 colon cancer - one of the most advanced and aggressive form of this deadly disease, where cancer has already spread outside the main organ - colon to other parts of the body (this include the liver, lungs, or distant lymph nodes).
Talking to the media, close friends of Actor Vibhu said that he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2022. We reached out to renowned oncologist Dr Prithvi Singh Dwivedi, Max Hospitals, to understand how dangerous stage-4 colon cancer is, and what precautions one should take to keep a track on the warning signs and symptoms.
"Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a form of the disease that usually originates in the large intestine or rectum," said Dr Dwivedi.
In medical terms, a stage-4 colon cancer refers to metastasis - which means that the cancer cells have spread to distant organs. According to Dr Dwivedi, at this stage the cancer cells can only be destroyed with chemo therapy - where the chance of survival is extremely less.
