Galai Tzahal Presenter Itay Zilber Undergoes Successful Liver Tumor Removal Surgery

Galai Tzahal presenter Itay Zilber announced on Monday that he underwent a successful surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his liver. The procedure, performed laparoscopically through four small incisions, involved removing a two-centimeter tumor located at the left edge of the liver. Zilber reported that the surgery concluded without complications and that doctors found no evidence of additional findings, describing the abdomen as "clean." Despite the positive outcome, Zilber stated that his battle with cancer is not over. He is scheduled to resume treatments in two to three weeks, as he is considered a chronic patient and there are concerns the cancer might return for a fourth time. "We won't let it," he vowed.

The presenter shared that the surgery was relatively simple due to the tumor's small size and location. His surgeon expressed satisfaction with the results, confirming the tumor was removed without complications or surprises and that "the belly is clean." Zilber expressed his joy at this news, though he acknowledged the ongoing nature of his fight against the disease.
