In addition, this kind of surgery fails to inactivate cancer cells, leading to recurrence caused by contamination of normal tissue.

There are also cancerous tumors that infiltrate surrounding normal tissues during their growth.

If cancer cells infiltrate blood vessels, they may migrate to any corner of the body with the flow of blood.

If lymph is infiltrated, lymphatic metastasis and recurrence will occur.

For example, if lung cancer infiltrates into other lung lobes, incomplete resection may lead to recurrence.

In addition, according to scientific research, patients are prone to relapse if their immune system cannot recover after surgery.

When cancer occurs in the body, it is caused by a defect or compromise of the immune system.

Under normal circumstances, in a healthy person, even if there are cancer cells in the body, they will be quickly killed and eliminated by the immune system.

And everyone has various proto-oncogenes in their body since birth.

Not getting enough rest, or eating food that is harmful to the body, or being stimulated by ionizing radiation, or being exposed to chemical substances, or being depressed, fearful, worried, anxious, etc. for a long time, may lead to the activation of proto-oncogenes.

Cancer cells appear.

In fact, cancer cells of this kind may often appear in our bodies, but we don’t know it.

After the immune system detects them, it silently cleans them away, thereby preventing our bodies from developing malignant tumors.

It’s just that humans eat whole grains and have various emotions and desires. No one can always ensure that their body and mood are in the most beneficial state for the immune system.

At this time, the immune system may have some loopholes and defects.

If the time is short, it may just be a minor cold or something.

Being immune deficient for a long time gives cancer cells an opportunity to take advantage of it.

As long as they successfully avoid cleaning and killing by the immune system and establish a base in a certain corner of the human body, they will soon be able to replicate crazily.

Of course, when they first started, they were like sparks.

To become a prairie fire requires a long period of accumulation and development.

Some cancer cells can be counted from the moment they successfully evade the immune system's destruction and successfully establish a base. It may take several years, or even more than ten years, for it to develop into a fatal malignant tumor.

During this process, if their presence is discovered during physical examination, they can be removed through surgery, ablation, inactivation, etc. before they spread and are in the early stages.

But not all malignant tumors can be cleared up in the early stages.

The patient mentioned by Director Zhang is a very unfortunate patient.

After surgery, the tumor recurred again.

And according to the "magic nature" of malignant tumors, if you don't care about them, they may just grow slowly and develop insignificantly.

But once it is stimulated, it will immediately enter the crazy mode.

Its growth rate will be greatly increased.

Under normal circumstances, it may take five to six years, or even longer, for a malignant tumor to grow to five centimeters long.

But if you stimulate it, it may grow to that size in two or three months.

This is also a scary thing about cancer.

Cancer surgery may be more appropriately described as "alerting the enemy in the lurch".

Either you clean it up in one go, or you don't alert it.

Many cancer patients don’t understand why, after surgery, doctors recommend chemotherapy to consolidate the curative effect if their bodies allow it.

The purpose of chemotherapy is actually to kill cancer cells that may not have been removed by surgery.

It’s just that many people now hate chemotherapy.

Because some cancer patients may live two more years without intervention.

After undergoing chemotherapy, I left in less than half a year.

Therefore, everyone believes that chemotherapy not only cannot cure cancer, but will actually destroy the patient's body.

This should be a very one-sided perception.

So far, the three most effective methods for treating cancer are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

They can effectively kill cancer cells.

The vast majority of patients who have successfully fought cancer have one thing in common, that is, they have successfully survived multiple rounds of chemotherapy. This is a hot research topic in tumor treatment. The integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine currently proposed by Yu Lao, Professor Wang and others should be a very good research direction.

Unfortunately, he himself suffered from intestinal cancer, and it was already in the third stage when he was diagnosed.

Each period is divided into A and B.

He is still in Phase III B, which is in the late stage.

The medical community judged that he would not survive more than two years. As a result, the doctor finally treated himself, and surprisingly succeeded in fighting cancer, and he lived an extra seventeen years.

In addition, the current Western research direction of building T cells into super soldiers has also achieved good results.

This research direction actually draws on traditional Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the balance of yin and yang, which may actually be an extremely advanced method of maintaining the immune system.

In other words, the yin and yang balancing method of traditional Chinese medicine is to help the patient's body return to a balanced state, so that the immune system can return to normal. It’s just a shame that so far, there are many pros and cons of Chinese medicine, but there are still very big differences in the research on these advanced Chinese medicine and concepts.

Moreover, the current market recognition of traditional Chinese medicine is low, the lack of research funds, and the lack of profit promotion have caused the research of traditional Chinese medicine to be quite slow.

……

After get off work, Li Jingsheng arrived at the operating room on time.

The patient lay quietly on the operating table, preparing for the second surgery.

It was only eight months since the last surgery.

There were three family members guarding outside the operating room, including a woman in her late [-]s and [-]s, with a haggard face. There is also a little boy of eleven or twelve years old, and an old man in his sixties.

When you are sick and hospitalized, the people closest to you are always the ones who will be by your side the first time.

There are also some loyal friends who may lend a helping hand.     But such friends are in the minority after all.

When Li Jingsheng went into surgery, the woman pulled the little boy and kowtowed to him together.

I can feel her helplessness and sadness.

Because there were tears in her eyes when she took her son to kowtow together.

The thirty-seven-year-old middle-aged man is the breadwinner of the family.

Her husband was diagnosed with lung cancer and after the first treatment, the wife was full of hope and thought she was finally cured.

The family can live a good life in the future.

After the family experienced this disaster, unexpectedly, only eight months later, my husband was diagnosed with a recurrence of the disease.

The cruelest thing in life is to give hope, but in the end it turns into despair.

She took her child with her and would kneel down whenever she saw medical staff entering the operating room.

I can't even try to persuade him.

There is only one purpose, hoping that the medical staff can do their best to perform her husband's surgery. Try not to relapse again.

Family members may not say some things out loud, but they may think that the husband's recurrence is due to the incomplete removal of the surgery during the last operation. It may even be thought that the red envelope was not delivered.

Her family's current financial situation is definitely getting worse.

There is no extra money for her to use to send red envelopes.

Therefore, by kowtowing with the child, the husband's operation was ensured to be flawless.

"Doctor Li is here!"

Director Zhang saw Li Jingsheng arriving and greeted him cordially.

Li Jingsheng has performed many operations with him and is quite familiar with the entire surgical team.

Everyone's relationship is also very harmonious.

Even after surgery, it is common for everyone to have late-night snacks and meals together.

It's just that Director Zhang's son needs a large sum of money as a gift to get married, and he seems quite stingy these days.

understand.

I heard that the girl his son was talking about refused to let go of the bride price.

Not a penny less.

Originally, with Director Zhang's income, he could afford to find a wife for his son.

But doctors' income is not as high as imagined.

In addition, there are various expenses, such as buying a house, buying a car, sending children to school, and personal expenses, etc., and it is difficult to save money.

These days, a family without debt is considered a wealthy family.

The vast majority of households are heavily in debt.

"When I came in, the patient's wife and children knelt down and kowtowed. This scene was really unbearable. Where was his last lung cancer?"

Li Jingsheng despises this kind of human suffering the most.

But you can see it every day.

Some people say that every doctor’s heart has been tempered many times, and it is true.

"I did not perform the last operation, but I carefully checked his information. A malignant tumor was detected in the lower edge of the left lobe of the left lung, and a lobectomy was performed. Press
  Logically speaking, the entire affected lung lobe was removed, so it should be a very clean operation.

And the surgery is not particularly difficult.

But the strange thing is that the site of the recurrent tumor is still another lobe of the left lung.

This is why I insisted on asking you to come and help me.

Their family is relatively difficult. The last treatment had almost wiped out all the money, and this time it was my number. As far as I know, the wife is planning to sell the house to her husband for medical treatment.

If this surgery can cure it, it can be considered a good result.

If it relapses for the third time, this family will really fall into despair. "

Director Zhang has a straightforward personality. He seems to be vicious and stern, but in fact he has a bodhisattva heart.

He must also have seen that the patient's family situation was not good, with seniors at the top and young at the bottom, and he wanted to do his best to help the family.

It's just that Director Zhang's level is limited, and he is not good at difficult cases of tumors.

Li Jingsheng has strong skills in diagnosing difficult cases.

In addition, Li Jingsheng's resection and separation procedures were particularly outstanding, so he invited Li Jingsheng to come over and perform the surgery together.

The lungs are divided into left lung and right lung.

I believe everyone knows this.

But few people know that the left lung has only two lobes and the right lung has three.

There are five lobes of lungs in the human body.

Now one lobe of the patient's left lung has been cut out, and cutting another lobe is equivalent to removing the entire left lung.

This will have a great impact on the patient's quality of life after surgery.

First, the lungs are quite large.

One on the left and one on the right, they are distributed in the chest cavity, and a little behind the middle is the pericardium.

That is our heart.

If one lung is removed, the chest will become empty, which can lead to a series of problems. (End of chapter)
