Ari Lasso's Spleen Was Removed Due To Cancer, This Is The Impact

JAKARTA - Ari Lasso opened up about the disease that made him hospitalized. It's not back pain, it turns out that Ari has cancer. To Deddy Corbuzier, Ari revealed his struggle against cancer.

"So I got a very rare cancer in the spleen. I underwent surgery to remove the organ and the mass from the cancer. Totally. This is the spleen, the tumor is twice as big, it's really big," said Ari Lasso, quoted from Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube channel, Wednesday, September 8th.

Ari Lasso said the cancer was malignant and rare, the cancer in his body was different from most cases.

"People usually get lymphoma, the lymph nodes are lumpy, he will often faint, anemia then causes damage to the spleen. For me, it's the other way around. The spleen is cancerous," he said.

"This is case 2 out of 4,000 lymphomas. So I think it will be a journal," added Ari.

The good news is that even if the spleen is removed, the disease is curable. "Thankfully, my cancer is called DLBCL (Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), basically B-cell cancer which can be cured," he explained.

Quoted from Alodok, the spleen functions to filter damaged red blood cells and maintain and maintain the body's immune system. When the function of the spleen is disturbed, the body will be susceptible to disease.

Because the spleen was removed, Ari Lasso had to find another source of immunity. "Replaced liver, lymph nodes and vitamins and vaccines."

What is the impact? "Of course I will not be as strong as I used to be. If someone has the flu for three days, I can get 10 days," explained Ari Lasso.
