A nine-year-old boy named Saul Hayden, of Cheshire, England, is celebrating having beaten one of the world’s rarest forms of liver cancer after going through an incredibly risky liver auto-transplant.

Saul was diagnosed with stage 4 MRT (malignant rhabdoid tumor) a disease of which only 5 out of 53 people in the world have survived according to a study in the journal Pediatric Reports.
