Cancer in transplanted lung


Written By Sreeram Penna

sad story..

Could this be negligence, I guess not. I dont like the way media is handling this situation blaming NHS and doctors.

more from UK press association

A British soldier died after he was given a pair of cancerous lungs in a transplant.

Cpl Matthew Millington, 31, had the transplant after he fell seriously ill.

But less than a year later the soldier, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, died after it transpired he had been given cancerous lungs from a donor who had smoked.

An inquest last week heard he died of complications of transplant surgery and immuno-suppressive drug treatment, it has been reported.
