Woman is cancer-free after undergoing UK's first liver transplant for advanced bowel cancer
A YOUNG woman has been declared cancer-free after undergoing Britain’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 the 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.
