For those who are in a shock after hearing the news of Irrfan Khan&#39;s medical condition, let us tell you that it is nothing related to brain cancer or a tumour as some might call it.&nbsp;

In a statement posted on Twitter earlier today, Irrfan&nbsp;announced that he is suffering from a NeuroEndocrine tumour which if medically put is as a rare condition that can occur anywhere in the body.&nbsp;Most neuroendocrine tumours occur in the lungs, appendix, small intestine, rectum and pancreas. They can be non-cancerous or malignant.
