In a rare medical case, a 53-year-old German surgeon developed cancer after operating on a patient with a rare tumor. During the procedure, the surgeon accidentally cut his hand, but the wound was disinfected and bandaged. Five months later, a malignant lump appeared at the injury site. Genetic tests revealed it was identical to the patient’s cancer. Experts suggest the surgeon’s body had an ineffective immune response, allowing tumor cells to grow. This unique case highlights potential risks for medical professionals despite stringent precautions. Researchers are studying the immune mechanisms involved to improve understanding and safety protocols.
