Jeune fille de 12 ans, Han Bingbing qui souffre d'une tumeur géante dans son ventre s'assied sur le lit à l'hôpital du cancer de Fuda dans la ville de Guangzhou, Chine du sud Guan
12-year-old girl Han Bingbing who suffers from a giant tumor in her belly sits on the bed at Fuda Cancer Hospital in Guangzhou city, south Chinas Guangdong province, 17 June 2014. A young Chinese girl is still suffering from a huge tumor in her belly after painful medical treatment over the past 5 years. Han Bingbing, now 12 years old, came from the northeastern Chinese province of Heilongjiang. Her mother found that she was having a lump growing in her abdomen in 2009. She was later diagnosed with ovarian teratoma, an encapsulated tumor with tissue or organ components resembling normal derivatives of more than one germ layer, and she was operated to have the tumor removed at a hospital in the provincial capital of Harbin. But after less than half a year, another lump started growing in the belly of Han. This time, she was diagnosed with malignant tumor and received 6 periods of chemotherapy, resulting in the swelling of her abdomen. Her parents then took her to Beijing for further treatment in autumn 2010 but doctors found that there were more than one teratoma in the belly and affirmed that Han would not survive half a year. The parents took their daughter to the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou to get a second opinion and to seek help from famous tumor doctor Xu Kecheng who opened and runs the Fuda Cancer Hospital. Now the tumor experts from the hospital are studying methods to cure the poor girl and a local charity body is raising funds for the poor family to afford the upcoming medical treatment.
