The University of Ghana Medical Students Association (UGMSA) is appealing to the public to donate towards the urgent surgery of a medical student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi who is suffering from a malignant tumour.
Malignant tumours are cancerous and can spread to other tissues. As cancerous tumours grow, cancer cells can break off and travel throughout the body, forming new tumours.
This is different from benign tumours which form in only one spot without spreading to surrounding tissues.
Report
A medical report the association made available to the Daily Graphic indicates that the 21-year-old Rita Adjoa Tawiah Abodoh, a fourth-year medical student, has developed a malignant tumour in her right pelvic bone and requires urgent surgery.
