People rely on organ donations to save their lives, but a California woman
claims that her implanted pancreas gave her cancer, reported Courthouse
News. The legal news service found court documents of the complaint, which
was filed in the Sacramento Superior Court. Jeffrey Sevey, attorney for
the plaintiff, confirmed to Newsweek that put in the paperwork.
The documents name the hospital where the surgery was performed (The
University of California, San Francisco Hospital) and The Regents of the
University of California in addition to two organ donation organizations,
the United Network for Organ Sharing and Donor Network West, as
defendants. Plaintiff Jennifer Ravens is suing for negligence, strict
liability and breach of warranty.
According to the document. West received a kidney and pancreas transplant
on June 4, 2016. On December 17 of the same year, the organs were removed
as test results showed that the implanted pancreas was cancerous. The
kidney was not. However, the cancer spread throughout her body and Ravens
had surgery to remove a fallopian tube, lymph nodes, ovary and bowel.
The court papers also state that other organs from the same donor were
given to two other people, both of whom died from cancer.
Ravens claims the defendants did not properly ensure her organs were safe
before surgery asserting that they ...negligently and carelessly failed
to properly insure that transplanted pancreas and kidney were properly and
competently examined for condition and existing disease before they were
provided and implanted into the plaintiffs body
Further, Ravens believes the involved parties waited too long before
removing the organs after learning that the two other patients who
received organs from the donor died of cancer.
The documents say that as a result of the defendants behavior, Ravens has
greatly suffered. She has been deprived of successful transplants, has
had cancer introduced into her body, has increased diabetic symptoms,
requires dialysis, and has lost her position on the transplant list.
So is it possible to get cancer from a donated organ? The answer seems to
be yes, according to published reports, though it is rare. Literature on
this topic indicates that breast, colon, ovarian and lung cancer (among
others) have been transmitted from donor to recipient.
In an article from last year, The New York Timesexplained that it is
possible to be an organ donor if youve had cancer, though not everyone
will qualify as there are many elements taken into account. Although, its
worth noting that transplant recipients are more likely to develop cancer,
according to the National Institute of Health. A study from 2011 indicated
that people with donated organs have a high risk of contracting 32 types
of cancer

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
