Dipika Kakar Undergoes Procedure for 13 mm Liver Lesion, Husband Reports Successful Outcome

Post‑procedure results will determine whether doctors switch her from targeted pills to immunotherapy.

Overview

  • Shoaib Ibrahim said the image‑guided procedure was completed successfully and that Kakar is fine, though in some pain.
  • The 13 mm lesion was found on a CT scan after new stomach and shoulder pain and was not seen on her December PET scan.
  • Doctors chose a minimally invasive ablation to “burn” the spot, with a planned hospital stay of about three to four days.
  • Recent tests showed tumour markers slightly above normal, and final pathology and follow‑up imaging remain pending.
  • Her care team has indicated oral targeted therapy could be halted in favor of immunotherapy depending on the results.
