On Friday, Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan took to Twitter to reveal that he has been diagnosed with Neuroendocrine tumour.
“Learning that I have been diagnosed with Neuroendocrine Tumour as of now has admittedly been difficult, but the love and strength of those around me and that I found within me has brought me to a place of hope,” tweeted Irrfan Khan.
The actor added, “the journey of this is taking me out of the country, and I request everyone to continue sending their wishes.”
He also clarified, “As for the rumours that were floated NEURO is not always about the brain and googling is the easiest way to do research.”
A nueroendocrine cell can be found anywhere in the body from the lungs to the gastrointestinal tract. They perform specific functions, including regulation of blood and air flow. A nueroendicrine tumor is a cluster of hormone producing endocrine cells and nerve cells.
These tumors most commonly arise in the intestine, but some types also occur in the pancreas. There are many types of nueroendocrine tumors and most are malignant.
The much-loved actor had earlier announced that he was undergoing serious health issues and there had been no official diagnosis as yet. He had even requested the public and the media to not raise speculations about his health.
