Her case involved a difficult diagnosis that normally is detected after the patient has had a metastases and has difficult access to its treatment.
She took her time to explain to the doctors and medical interns that in the eventual presence of a Gastrointestinal tumor, and in front of doubts, specific tests should be made to confirm or rule out a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor, ensuring that the early diagnosis can stop its growth.
