Results from a blood sample, which was analyzed in Germany, have indicated that Egypt's former president Hosni Mubarak, has been suffering from cancer. However, this cancer was described as " quiet" and is spreading slowly.

A German medical team which includes three doctors had conducted recently medical examination of Mubarak's condition in Sharm el-Sheikh Hospital. The check up lasted for two hours. It included the disclosure of some X-rays and taking a new sample of blood.

The check up was conducted after Mubarak complained on pains in the bones and fears that the disease has spread to bones.

Earlier this week, Mubarak's lawyer said the former leader has a "stomach cancer and the tumors are growing."
