American, German experts ‘fully approve of’ China dissident’s treatment
Specialists from the United States and Germany have visited a prominent Chinese dissident who is battling cancer, “fully approving of” the treatment provided by the Chinese medical team, a Chinese hospital says.
Joseph M. Herman of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the US and Markus W Buchler of Germany’s University of Heidelberg examined Liu Xiaobo, the ailing Chinese dissident, at a hospital in China’s northeastern city of Shenyang on Saturday.
The two specialists, who have been invited by the First Hospital of China Medical University for medical consultations, offered “full approval” of Liu’s prognosis to the team of Chinese experts treating him.
“The US and Germany experts fully approved of the treatment by the national experts group and what they had done,” the hospital said in a short statement.
Liu, 61, who was jailed by Chinese authorities in 2009 for “subversion” and who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 for “human rights” activities in China, has been diagnosed with liver cancer.
The hospital said Liu had received good care but has late-stage liver cancer, which has spread and is in its final stages. The hospital added that it was looking at medical options to raise his chances of survival.
Liu has not been able to leave China because of his prison term, and China invited the foreign physicians to help with the treatment instead.
