Prof. M.D. Banu Lebe Reviews

At 82, my persistent hoarseness was dismissed as age-related by several doctors. Dr. Lebe examined my vocal cord biopsy with extraordinary care, discovering a rare, slow-growing neuroendocrine tumor missed by others. Her precise diagnosis allowed for targeted laser treatment that preserved my voice completely. I can still sing to my great-grandchildren.

Our 6-year-old daughter's mysterious abdominal pain baffled specialists for months. Dr. Lebe analyzed her appendix tissue post-removal and identified an unusual parasitic infection typically found in tropical regions—we'd never traveled. Her detective work traced it to imported produce, leading to specific treatment that ended her year-long suffering.

As a 34-year-old chef, I noticed a strange patch on my tongue. Multiple biopsies elsewhere were inconclusive. Dr. Lebe performed a specialized molecular analysis revealing early-stage spindle cell carcinoma, a rare oral cancer. Her early detection allowed for minimal resection; I lost only a tiny portion of taste buds and continue my career.

My 19-year-old son's 'routine' tonsillectomy tissue was reviewed by Dr. Lebe as standard protocol. She identified early signs of mantle cell lymphoma, completely asymptomatic. This accidental early discovery through her meticulous screening allowed for treatment before any symptoms appeared, changing what could have been a dire prognosis.
