Apple CEO Steve Jobs is one of the personalities of the best known in recent times. Very few people know, however, suffering from cancer.
Steve was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004. Called to neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas is a rare cancer of the pancreas, which is required for employment is a tumor removed from his pancreas. This process is called a pancreaticoduodenectomy (or "Whipple procedure"), and revealed that the tumor had been removed. He does not need chemo or radiotherapy.
At the end of 2008, Bloomberg mistakenly published Steve Jobs obituary, in which the date and cause of death in white. Although this was quickly rectified, this is fueled by the intense speculation about his health. Then, in January 2009, Jobs has taken six months of work "is a health problem." While continuing to indirectly prohibit the problems of cancer, we know that underwent replacement surgery of the liver in April 2009, Memphis, TN.
Normally pay for the replacement requires patients to be on a waiting list until a donor was found. But private jet Jobs' for him to get two waiting lists at the same time, and chose Memphis. More than 6,000 liver transplants done annually in the United States, but the region 11 of the United Network Organ Sharing, which includes Memphis, has a relatively short waiting time.
A liver transplant operation is a long process. It can last between 5-6 hours over 10 hours in case of complications. Transplant requires a large incision in the abdomen (abdomen). The liver is removed by cutting a series of ligaments that hold it in place, and more channels, arteries and veins.
While the new liver was recently acquired from a deceased donor blood in the liver was replaced by a very cold liquid. A new liver is placed in the empty cavity and the liver is intended to cut ligaments, ducts and blood vessels. You can prevent the rejection of foreign patients often take immunosuppressive drugs for life.
Followed by a long recovery from surgery, but the survival rate is quite high. More than 5 years survival rate is over 90 percent are good services.
If Steve Jobs, the recovery was magnificent. It said it has fully recovered from the procedure. Medical experts say that if Jobs did this procedure, which means that even if the cancer had spread to the liver, no other metastases. This is because most hospitals do not perform liver transplants on you if their cancer had already spread beyond the liver.
Apple is perhaps one of the best known and loved today. It was directed by Steve Jobs innovation and smart business sense. It's sad that someone like Jobs has had to go through this at the age of 50 soon. But, perhaps even as bad as cancer can produce good results, probably in the form of an addendum to the use of research to discover better treatments for liver cancer.
