Oncologist explained the blindness of Lerchek in one eye during cancer treatment

Oncologist Evgeny Cheryomushkin told why Lercek went blind in one eye during cancer treatment.

In conversation with aif.ru On Tuesday, March 24, he noted that there may be several reasons for the loss of vision in one eye of blogger Valeria Chekalina, who is undergoing treatment for stage four stomach cancer.

According to the expert, possible causes may be related to the eye itself, the retina or the optic nerve, as well as to the central nervous system, where the center of vision is located. He also did not rule out the effect of chemotherapy, noting that without additional data, one can only assume.

The expert stressed that in order to determine the cause, doctors need to study the results of an MRI scan of the brain. According to him, this will help to understand whether the deterioration of vision is related to treatment. He added that if it were a systemic reaction of the body, both eyes would be affected, and the defeat of one may indicate local damage or other features that require additional study.

Valeria Chekalina is currently undergoing treatment at the Blokhin National Medical Oncology Research Center.
