Woman cancer-free after UK's first liver tranplant for advanced bowel cancer
70% Informative
Bianca Perea , 32 , was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in November 2021 .
Doctors told her they aimed to prolong her life rather than find a cure.
Ms Perea had 37 rounds of a targeted drug called panitumumab plus chemotherapy for two and a half years .
She had an excellent response to the treatment, which meant she was able to have an operation in May 2023 to remove the tumour.
But scans showed she still had tumours in her liver, which could not be operated on.
She was added to the transplant list in February 2024 and was lucky enough to find a donor.
