Dipika Kakar Stable in ICU After 14-Hour Surgery to Remove Stage 2 Liver Cancer Tumor

Doctors have indicated cancer was confined to the tumor, suggesting a full recovery once the mass was removed.

Overview

  • On June 3 at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai, Kakar underwent a 14-hour operation to excise a tennis ball-sized stage 2 liver tumor.
  • Her husband, Shoaib Ibrahim, reported on June 4 via Instagram that she is now in the ICU, stable but experiencing some postoperative pain.
  • The procedure had been postponed earlier after Kakar battled a viral infection and flu-like symptoms that needed to clear before surgery.
  • Pre-surgery scans showed no evidence of cancer spread beyond the liver lesion, giving physicians confidence in a curative outcome.
  • Ibrahim thanked well-wishers for their support as the couple and their son, Ruhaan, await her full recovery and further updates.
