Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 532 - 415: Initial Formulation of Radiotherapy and C
Speaking of the current ward, it’s actually very difficult to get admitted. If Sun Xinxin hadn’t directly found Zhao Heng, just the waitlist for admission would take at least about a month.
Ever since Ma Jianteng’s son, Ma Xiaochen, seed close to recovery, sohow the news got out, and many people started sending patients with complex conditions to the center. However, given the current capacity of the center, it’s challenging to accommodate so many patients.
So, only a small portion of the patients can be admitted to the center, whereas the others are allocated to various departnts.
Of course, the doctors in the other departnts of Eastern Hospital are also top-tier nationwide.
"Uh-huh."
Upon hearing Liu ng’s remark, Wu Yiming and her parents’ eyes lit up.
Soon, Liu ng helped Wu Yiming complete the admission procedures.
One hour later.
In the ward, Zhao Heng and Li Haiyang from the oncology departnt stood by Wu Yiming’s hospital bed.
Since Liu Shangming beca the hospital director, Li Haiyang, being Liu Shangming’s close disciple, naturally rose in prominence and is now the deputy director of the oncology departnt.
Of course, Li Haiyang is fully capable of fulfilling the role of deputy director of oncology.
In terms of cancer treatnt, although Zhao Heng is also quite proficient, Li Haiyang has handled more patients. His opinions are primarily referenced for treatnt plans as he is a specialist deputy director of oncology.
"Have you considered surgical removal?"
After reviewing the dical records and test results, Li Haiyang pondered for a while and asked Wu Yiming’s parents.
In his view, Wu Yiming’s condition is extrely dangerous, and without surgery, the cancer cells are certain to spread rapidly.
Furthermore, even with surgery, it might only limit the spread of tumor cells to a certain extent.
"Does surgery an amputation?"
Wu Yiming’s father asked.
At the ntion of the word "amputation," Wu Yiming’s small face was full of rejection. Being a top athlete, she wouldn’t choose amputation even at the cost of her life.
Even if she were to die, she wanted to go with all her limbs intact.
"We can perform partial amputation; full amputation isn’t necessary."
Li Haiyang was well aware that Wu Yiming was a top athlete, allowing him to empathize strongly with Wu Yiming and her family’s feelings.
"Dad, Mom, I’m not getting amputated!"
With stubbornness, Wu Yiming looked at her parents, her eyes full of resolve and strong willpower.
Athlete training is incredibly arduous, and those who make it to the national team face unimaginable volus of training; therefore, although Wu Yiming seed like a young girl on the outside, she was actually very strong inside, with robust psychological resilience.
"Alright, alright, no amputation, we won’t opt for amputation!"
Seeing her daughter in that state, tears welled up in Wu Yiming’s mother’s eyes, and she hugged her daughter tightly.
"Doctor, if there’s no amputation, should we opt for radiation therapy?"
Wu Yiming’s father nervously asked Li Haiyang.
"Ewing’s sarcoma in early stages is relatively sensitive to chemotherapy. A combination of multi-drug chemotherapy and local control asures with radiation may have so effect."
"However, radiation and chemotherapy can cause significant harm to the body, particularly given the current infiltration of cancer cells, which requires large doses. Post-radiation and chemotherapy can induce gastrointestinal reactions like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bone marrow suppression and bleeding, liver damage, and especially hair loss; these symptoms can be quite apparent."
Li Haiyang explained slowly.
Before undergoing radiation and chemotherapy, these side effects must be clearly discussed.
In essence, radiation and chemotherapy are treatnt asures that can take a toll on the patient while fighting cancer, as absolute precision in cancer treatnt has not yet been achieved.
Although Zhao Heng had previously employed a precise nanotherapy thod for treating Ma Xiaochen’s brain glioma, the nurous types of cancer prevent even Zhao Heng from developing targeted nanotherapy thods for every cancer patient.
Not to ntion whether such thods can be developed, most patients simply cannot afford to wait.
The successful treatnt of Ma Xiaochen can only be attributed to the right timing and circumstances.
Clinical practice sotis requires a bit of luck, which applies both to patients and doctors.
"Dr. Zhao?"
Upon hearing Li Haiyang’s explanation, Wu Yiming’s father couldn’t help but look to Zhao Heng, seemingly seeking his opinion.
"Dr. Li is the deputy director of the oncology departnt and is quite authoritative in radiation and chemotherapy. Currently, the only way to suppress the growth of cancer cells is through radiation and chemotherapy, buying so ti while I contemplate other possible solutions."
Zhao Heng comforted Wu Yiming’s father.
"We will follow Dr. Zhao’s guidance. Dr. Li, please do your best."
Wu Yiming’s father, having seen the world, quickly made a decision.
"In that case, for the initial phase of treatnt, we’ll utilize ifosfamide combined with etoposide and docetaxel combined with gemcitabine, aiming for a noticeable effect in the early stage."
Li Haiyang nodded, thought for a mont, and said.
"It is possible to prepare a certain amount of bone marrow stem cells for injection, thereby minimizing bone marrow damage."
Zhao Heng pondered and suggested.
"That sounds good; I almost forgot you’re currently the most skilled in stem cell therapy in the country."
Upon hearing Zhao Heng’s suggestion, Li Haiyang’s eyes lit up.
Witnessing the conversation between Zhao Heng and Li Haiyang, Wu Yiming and her parents felt an unexpected sense of reassurance. From their dialogue and deanor, it was clear that both were indeed leading experts in the dical field.
This gave Wu Yiming’s family a renewed sense of hope.
Once the consultation concluded and the radiation and chemotherapy plans were established, Li Haiyang and Zhao Heng retreated to the office. Zhao Heng brewed a cup of coffee for each of them, and they sat on the sofa, drinking coffee and chatting.
"Dr. Zhao, no, now it should be Director Zhao; your center has genuinely gained fa. I heard that the inpatient queue is now booked a month in advance."
Li Haiyang praised Zhao Heng with admiration.
"Well, you’re also Director Li now..."
Zhao Heng glanced at Li Haiyang and said.
With his ntor, Liu Shangming, becoming the hospital director, Li Haiyang’s position within Eastern Hospital radically improved, not to say he ruled the place, but close enough.
Still, as Liu Shangming’s close disciple, Li Haiyang proved his worth as an exceedingly competent dical professional, fully deserving his role as a deputy director in oncology.
Having been under Liu Shangming’s tutelage for over a decade, he absorbed a considerable portion of his skills and expertise.
"I still rely on your influence, Director; I think our departnts could jointly establish a stem cell therapy center, given the extensive applications of stem cell therapy."
Li Haiyang speculated with a hint of ambition.
Even though it remained unclear how Zhao Heng achieved his standing, he currently spearheaded the field of stem cell and nanotherapy in the country.
"I hardly have ti to run another center..."
Zhao Heng remarked casually.
He was already overwheld with responsibilities, leaving no leeway to manage a stem cell therapy center.
"Leave it to , no need to worry, you just need to offer technical guidance."
Li Haiyang undertook with conviction.
He genuinely wished to establish such a center, as cancer treatnt had hit a bottleneck. Globally, no significant breakthroughs in cancer treatnt were on the horizon.
Hence, enhancing one’s immune response to fight tumor cells through stem cell therapy represents a novel avenue of treatnt with great potential for developnt.
"Technical guidance is not a problem, just don’t be like soone who frequently drafts into his tasks."
Zhao Heng nodded, referring to soone notorious for roping him into projects, specifically Liu Ziang, the neurosurgery deputy director.
