"The Honorable Former Chief Minister of Kerala, Mr. Oommen Chandy's health condition is currently stable and recovering well. Chandy was diagnosed with throat cancer for which he is under treatment currently. After a comprehensive evaluation, our team of expert oncologists has determined that immunotherapy will be the best course of initial treatment and we will reevaluate him shortly based on the outcomes," HCG Cancer Hospital said in a statement.
