China News, Guangzhou, April 22 (Reporter Cai Minjie) “The reason why tumors are scary is not only because there are not many treatment methods, but also because they are discovered too late.” Zhong Nanshan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering 22 Japan said in Guangzhou that “early detection” of tumors is the key to health-centered alternative treatment.
Oncology Medical Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University was established in Guangzhou on the same day. The medical center has a total of 17 branch centers, and Zhong Nanshan serves as an honorary consultant. Huang Jinkun, president of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, and He Jianxing, president of Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health, served as the director of the center.
Zhong Nanshan said that more than 50 years ago, many of the cancer patients he saw were advanced stage. If patients are able to detect tumors early, before they develop symptoms, treatment outcomes can make all the difference.
Zhong Nanshan believes that about the For tumor prevention and treatment, early detection and early diagnosis and treatment are the last word, and it is urgent to improve the ability of tumor prevention and treatment. “Early detection, now we have tasted a lot of sweetness.” Zhong Nanshan said, taking lung cancer as an example, the survival rate of late detection is very low, but if early detection can be achieved, many patients will survive 5 years after surgery and other treatments. The survival rate is more than 85%.
Zhong Nanshan said that early detection of tumors is difficult and often requires multidisciplinary consultation. “We are very confident to do a good job in the early detection and treatment of tumors. Whether it is in the middle or late stage, we also have many treatment methods.” Zhong Nanshan said that after the establishment of the Cancer Medical Center, it will be able to better coordinate the medical forces of various disciplines. An integrated approach to the detection and treatment of cancer patients.
He Jianxing said that for large-scale lung cancer screening, the hospital has applied advanced technologies such as AI diagnosis, cell-free DNA extraction and methylation transformation, and the diagnostic accuracy rate can currently reach 92%. In terms of treatment methods, through minimally invasive surgery, patients with early-stage lung cancer can now be discharged within 24 hours after surgery. In addition, he also said that carrying out early tumor screening will not only help to treat tumor diseases in a timely manner, but also increase the public’s attention to personal health.
Huang Jinkun said that in the next step, the medical center will integrate scientific research forces to explore and solve key problems in the field of tumor prevention and treatment. In addition, it will also strengthen the health management of tumor patients and the promotion and education of tumor science, so that the tumor prevention and treatment concepts of “early prevention”, “early screening”, “early diagnosis” and “early treatment” will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
