Irrfan Khan: I have been diagnosed with NeuroEndocrine Tumour

 

Actor Irrfan Khan has finally opened up about his 'rare disease' and has revealed that he has been diagnosed with NeuroEndocrine Tumour*. The actor will be leaving abroad for treatment soon and he has officially updated about his health condition through his social media page.
  


Irrfan's health has been the talking point ever since he sent out a tweet saying he has been diagnosed with a 'rare disease.' Later his wife Sutapa Sikdar issued out a statement requesting privacy during the family's tough times. Irrfan Khan starrer Blackmail will however hit theatre screens April 6, 2018 as planned. The actor had apparently requested for the same and the film-makers are ensuring every bit to make that happen.

*NeuroEndocrine Tumour (NET) is a rare condition in which abnormal tissue growth is found in hormone producing nervous cells of lungs, pancreas or anywhere else in the body. Types of NET include Pheochromocytoma, Merkel cell cancer, Neuroendocrine carcinoma and Paraganglioma depending on the organs affected.
