Famous patients

  • Lance Armstrong – American cyclist. In 1996, Armstrong was battling stage three testicular cancer–that had spread to his brain, lungs, and abdomen. Dr. Einhorn led the medical team that treated Armstrong's cancer. By February 1997, Armstrong was declared cancer-free. The same year he founded the Livestrong Foundation, formerly known as the Lance Armstrong Foundation, to support cancer patients.
  • Yuvraj Singh – Indian legendary cricket player, discovered cancer in his lungs during the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Singh was successfully treated for a mediastinal germ cell tumor (mediastinal seminoma). Returning to cricket after 1 year, Singh founded the YouWeCan Foundation which helped hundreds of cancer patients.
