"Plop, Li Zongwei fainted on the badminton training ground." "Come on, Zong Wei fainted!"
Li Zongwei was then sent to the nearest hospital for a comprehensive examination.
The results of the examination surprised everyone, Li Zongwei, the god of the badminton world, actually suffered from cancer, and it is now in the middle and advanced stages of cancer.
It is well known that cancer is no different from other diseases in its early stages, and can only be detected after the middle stage.
The later the cancer, the more difficult it may be to cure and the more painful the patient will be treated.
Li Zongwei, who had received chemotherapy for a while, felt that his physical functions were getting weaker and weaker.
No matter how actively he cooperated with the hospital treatment, he could not get rid of the torment of cancer.
Therefore, Li Zongwei decided to spend a high amount of money on advanced anti-cancer proton therapy, hoping to exchange money for his healthy body.
First, there should be medicine for heart diseases, but poor diseases cannot be cured
In the movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine", there is a line that deeply touched the audience: "There is only one disease in this world, and that is the disease of poverty"
When faced with malignant diseases such as leukemia and cancer, the gap between the rich and the poor is very obvious. The rich can exchange huge sums of money for the continuation of life, while the poor can only accept the fate of returning to dust.
Li Zongwei, a famous player in mainland badminton, was diagnosed with stage III nasopharyngeal cancer in July 2018, which shocked the sports world and many fans. Therefore, Li Zongwei also had to give up two international badminton competitions.
After Li Zongwei's diagnosis, he received cancer treatment in a private hospital in Taiwan for more than two months, during which he tried both traditional chemotherapy methods and advanced anti-cancer proton therapy, but only proton therapy was more effective at destroying cancer cells.
After up to 33 proton treatments, all the cancer cells in Li Zongwei's body were removed, and he was quickly cured and discharged from the hospital.
Proton therapy uses high-energy proton beams to specifically destroy cancer cells, further preventing the possibility of cancer cells spreading arbitrarily. Compared with traditional radiation therapy, it can target the cancer site more precisely, greatly reduce the damage to healthy tissue, and show excellent efficacy in oncological diseases.
But globally, proton therapy is expensive. In the United States, a proton therapy costs about $150,000 and in China it costs about 300,000 yuan.
These huge costs are overwhelming for the middle and lower classes, and to completely cure a patient, it usually takes about 20 proton treatments.
In the field of cancer treatment, both new drug development and technological innovation require huge capital investments, and these costs are often passed on to patients. Therefore, the high cost of treatment makes it difficult to flow to the general public.
Second, the country has no spare power, and the family is surrounded by four walls
According to media statistics, the cure rate of cancer in China is relatively low. Although some progress has been made in the field of treatment, there is still a certain gap in China's cure rate, recovery rate and survival rate compared with developed countries.
This is mainly due to the combined influence of many factors, including the level of medical care and the unequal distribution of medical resources.
Some advanced cancer cases in China still face difficulties in treatment and cannot receive timely and effective treatment.
In addition, recovery and survival rates are also challenges for cancer treatment in China. Recovery rate refers to a patient's ability to return to a normal life after treatment.
Survival refers to the proportion of patients who survive a certain period of time. Despite the continuous advancement of medical technology and the enrichment of treatment methods, some patients still cannot overcome the challenge of low recovery rate and low survival rate.
Third, find another way to go abroad to survive
In China, due to the uneven distribution of medical resources and differences in technical levels, the domestic medical treatment process is cumbersome, and patients often need to go through complicated processes such as queuing, registration, examination, and waiting to get treatment, and the waiting time is long.
In order to improve the level of domestic cancer treatment, domestic medical institutions should increase investment in medical resources and optimize medical service processes. International cooperation and experience exchange should also be strengthened, and foreign advanced treatment technology and management experience should be learned.
Advanced technologies such as proton therapy have achieved remarkable results in cancer treatment, but their high prices limit their widespread use, making them available only to affluent populations.
In addition to proton therapy, there are other advanced cancer treatment technologies that are also facing price problems, such as gene therapy, immunotherapy, etc. The development and application of these technologies requires a large capital investment, which further drives up the price of treatment.
Conclusion:
In order to solve the difficulty of the high cost and popularization of advanced anti-cancer therapies, the government and medical institutions should increase investment in medical resources and optimize the allocation of resources to reduce the cost of treatment.
Encourage and support innovative research and development of medical science and technology, and promote the advancement of anti-cancer therapy technology. As long as the domestic medical industry innovates in this field and joins medical insurance.
Then everyone, rich or poor, has access to advanced cancer therapies.
