Overview

• Dipika Kakar entered surgery on June 3 to remove a tennis ball-sized tumor discovered after she experienced severe stomach pain in early May.
• The operation’s schedule was postponed when she developed a viral infection and flu-like symptoms that raised concerns over surgical risk.
• A recent FAPI scan showed no cancer spread beyond the liver lesion, prompting medical teams to describe tumor removal as potentially curative.
• Doctors also identified a painful gallbladder stone during earlier tests, which contributed to her hospitalizations for high fever.
