Dubai hospital condemns Andrew Tate ‘cancer’ leak

Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate is currently detained in Romania after he was arrested in January on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.

Leaked medical records, which were widely circulated online, suggest Tate has a lesion in his upper right lung which requires “further urgent investigations”.

Widespread speculation online and in the media suggested the lesion was a lung cancer.

The King’s College Hospital London in Dubai document, said: “The findings are nonspecific. The differential diagnosis includes a hamartoma, however the size of the lesion, the satellite nodules and infiltration of the surrounding tissue are findings suspicious for a more aggressive neoplastic lesion (carcinoid tumour, calcific. metastases).”

Andrew Tate has denied he has cancer. A statement on his official Twitter account said: “I do not have cancer. My lungs contain precisely 0 smoking damage.

“In fact, I have an 8L lung capacity and the vital signs of an Olympic athlete. There is nothing but a scar on my lung from an old battle.”

King’s College Hospital London in Dubai “strongly condemned” the leaking of a medical document.

It confirmed that the leaked letter being circulated across social media was issued by one of its doctors, but went on to add that the leak of private medical information did not come from the hospital.

Releasing a statement on its own social media channel, the hospital said that it upholds doctor-patient confidentiality and that it acted in good faith by treating Andrew Tate.
