Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer, his
doctor said Wednesday.
“It is a difficult and very rare type of tumour,” Dr. Zane Cohen said in a
Wednesday evening press conference, describing Ford’s cancer as a
malignant liposarcoma.
“It’s a fairly aggressive tumour…but we are treating this aggressively in
order to irradiate the tumour. We are optimistic about this tumour.”
Dr. Cohen said he is “optimistic” that chemotherapy could be successful.
There is a tumour in his abdomen and one in his buttocks, the surgeon said.
The Canadian Press/Nathan DenetteDr. Zane Cohen gives an update of Rob Ford'
s condition during a news conference at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto
Wednesday.
The abdomen tumour is large — about 12 by 12 centimetres (about 4 inches).
The other tumour is about two centimetres.
Chemotherapy will begin within 48 hours. Doctors will decide the next step
depending on how his tumour responds to treatment. There may be additional
rounds of chemotherapy or surgery, Dr. Cohen said.
Ford will receive three days of chemo drugs, followed by 18 days off.
Ford will likely be able to work through treatment but will face “tough
days,” the doctor said.
Dr. Cohen is an expert colorectal surgeon and is leading Ford’s medical
team.
Liposarcoma is a tumour that comes from fat cells in deep, soft tissue. It
makes up less than 1% of diagnosed adult cancers.
Dr. Malcolm Moore, head of medical oncology and hematology at Princess
Margaret Cancer Centre, said the mayor’s type of cancer arises from fatty
tissues, which is uncommon. “The treatment for sarcoma is quite different,
” he told reporters.
“It’s sensitive to different drugs and the surgical approach would be
somewhat different.” Having said that, he noted there are newer treatments
that focus on the genetic features of sarcoma.
Numerous members of the Ford family visited Mount Sinai Hospital Wednesday,
saying little to the media.
In a statement, Councillor Doug Ford said he can’t begin to share how
devastating his brother’s diagnosis is to the family.
“He is an incredible person, husband, father, brother and son and he
remains upbeat and determined to fight this,” Ford said. “Rob will beat
this.”
Mayor Ford was admitted to hospital last Wednesday after complaining of
severe abdominal pain. On Thursday, doctors said a significant mass was
found in his abdomen.
On Friday, Ford dropped out of the mayoral race and his brother, Doug Ford,
announced he would run in his place. The one-term mayor then signed up to
run for his old council seat in Ward 2.
Ford’s nephew, 21-year-old Michael Ford, pulled out of the race for Ward 2
and later registered to run for school trustee.
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan DenetteMayor Rob Ford's brother Doug Ford arrives
at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Wednesday, Sept.17, 2014. Doctors are
set to provide an update on Mayor Ford's health today, a full week after he
was diagnosed with an abdominal tumour.
Mayor Ford’s father, Doug Ford, died in 2006, mere months after he was
diagnosed with colon cancer.
A mayoral debate at 6 p.m. between John Tory and Olivia Chow was cancelled
as both mayoral candidates wished Ford well.
“I wish Rob Ford and his wife, Renata, well,” Chow said in a joint press
conference with Tory after the diagnosis was revealed. “I know what it’s
like when a family receives bad news. I hope he can win this battle.”
Tory said said he hoped Torontonians would “take a moment for a prayer”
for Ford.
Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly said in a statement: “Like every challenges he
takes on, I know he will fight until he wins.”
Andray Domise, Ford’s main opponent in the Ward 2 election, tweeted: “I
offer a prayer for Mayor Rob Ford’s speedy recovery, and my sympathies to
his family during this difficult time.”
