Doctors have decided that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford will undergo aggressive chemotherapy for a 12 centimetre malignant tumour in his abdomen. According to the doctors, apart from the tumour in his abdomen, he has another two centimetre nodule in his left buttock. It was explained that Ford has a relatively rare type of cancer, i.e. known as a pleomorphic liposarcoma and “it makes up one per cent only of all cancers. There are 60 different types.”

Head of the team investigating and recommending treatment on Mayor Ford’s case, Dr. Zane Cohen, mentioned that although the tumor is not growing on an organ, it is aggressive. Dr. Cohen confirmed that the tumor did not show in the last CT scan of the mayor in 2011. Though the tumour is cancerous, Dr. Cohen is optimistic about the treatment plan, which involves cycles of three days of intensive chemotherapy and 18 days to flush the system. He alleged that “the liposarcoma is more susceptible to chemotherapy than most sarcoma.” Dr. Cohen confirmed that the doctor’s team will be reassessing the mayor’s situation after each cycle “depending on the response will decide what we do next.”

In addition to that, Dr. Cohen refuted rumours that alleged that doctors were biopsying a sample of tissue from his lungs. He clarified that “we have not found cancer in any other organ of the body,” and “we have found a small nodule in the buttock behind the left hip. That is part of the same tumour.”
