Fears for jailed Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo as medics suspend cancer treatment
Doctors treating jailed Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo has stopped using cancer-fighting drugs so as not to overwhelm his severely weakened liver, raising concerns that China's most prominent political prisoner is critically ill.
The team decided to stop use of an inhibitor drug for advanced liver cancer in light of Liu's rapidly deteriorating liver function, according to a statement on the website of the First Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang on Friday.
