On April 16, the Esophageal Tumor Integrated Rehabilitation Committee held a popular science activity
"Cancer cells have three fears, one is afraid of love, two is afraid of laughter, and three is afraid of sports...... On the morning of April 16, Chen Xiaobing, director of the China Anti-Cancer Association, chairman of the Esophageal Tumor Integrated Rehabilitation Committee, and deputy director of the Department of Medical Oncology of Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital, gave a lecture "Facing Cancer, No Panic and No Blind Follow", which instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the event site.
Based on his own long-term medical practice and people's daily life, Chairman Chen Xiaobing explained the knowledge of cancer prevention and control and our Chinese's own cancer prevention and treatment guideline - "China Cancer Integrated Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines" (hereinafter referred to as CACA guidelines) for the audience in an easy-to-understand manner.
He started from the current situation of "emphasizing treatment and neglecting prevention" in cancer prevention and control in the mainland, and refuted the ten major cancer rumors, such as "cancer is contagious" and "cancer cells will starve to death if you don't eat". He introduced in detail "why CACA guidelines", "what are CACA guidelines" and "winning in CACA guidelines", pointing out that healthy China, science popularization first, focusing on the grassroots, grassroots science popularization, prevention first, early diagnosis and early screening, it is imperative.
He highlighted the CACA guidelines. The 53 strategies (strategies) of tumor types focus on "prevention-screening-diagnosis-treatment-health", prevention is the upper plan, screening is the big plan, diagnosis is the best plan, treatment is the livelihood, and health is the long-term plan. The technical chapter 60 skills (moves), focusing on "evaluation-support-control-protection-life", are rated as the first move, support is a high move, control is a real move, protection is a new move, and life is a trick.
Chairman Chen Xiaobing believes that putting prevention in the first place can effectively reduce the incidence and mortality of cancer. Prevention strategies include primary prevention measures such as reasonable diet, moderate exercise, psychological balance, adequate sleep, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, as well as secondary prevention with early screening, early diagnosis and early treatment, and tertiary prevention with comprehensive treatment as the mainstay.
He introduced in detail the "Four Character Classics of Health", that is, reasonable diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, balanced mentality, adequate sleep, regular physical examination, infection control, vaccine priority, beautification of the environment, clear waters and green mountains, and guided everyone to develop healthy living habits and effectively resist the invasion of diseases.
Under the guidance of his "nodding + smiling + applauding, three anti-cancer artifacts", bursts of applause resounded at the scene, pushing the atmosphere to a new high.
On April 16, the Science Popularization Activity of the Special Committee for Integrated Treatment of Cancer Pain
On the morning of April 16, Xie Guanglun, Chairman of the Special Committee of Integrated Cancer Pain Treatment of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and Director of the Department of Pain Rehabilitation and Palliative Medicine of Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital, gave a popular science lecture on "Pain Management in Tumor Treatment".
Chairman Xie Guanglun started from the two major goals of cancer treatment: prolonging life and improving the quality of life, and put forward the question of "whether cancer treatment should live long or well", leading to the protagonist - "cancer pain".
He carefully analyzed the characteristics of cancer pain, the incidence of cancer pain, and the causes of cancer pain, and revealed that cancer pain brings not only physical burden and psychological pressure to patients, but also social alienation and spiritual pain through the stories of celebrities fighting cancer and treating pain.
In this regard, Chairman Xie Guanglun explained in detail the treatment of cancer pain from three aspects: treatment of the cause of pain, symptomatic treatment and psychotherapy to change the pain feeling. He pointed out that under the general principle of not affecting rest, sleep, and activity, the goal of cancer pain treatment is to achieve the goal of cancer pain treatment that not only pursues patient comfort, improves function, but also ensures safety and improves the quality of life with optimized analgesia, optimized daily life, minimal drug side effects, avoidance of inappropriate medication, and attention to the relationship between pain and emotion.
"My pain was caused by a tumor, and when the tumour was cured, the pain was cured. "The cold, numbness, and pain caused by chemotherapy, take some medicine and endure it, and it will be fine after a while!" "Tumor treatment is the most important, I will cure the tumor first, and then I will treat the pain." "My dad is strong, even if it hurts, he will endure it and never tell us. "I can't stop the pain after taking all the painkillers I bought in the pharmacy outside, so I can only suffer, there is no way......!" In view of the common misunderstandings in the treatment of cancer pain in these cancer patients, Chairman Xie Guanglun answered them in detail one by one, and told everyone the advantages and disadvantages of some commonly used painkillers.
In addition, he also introduced advanced methods for minimally invasive treatment of cancer pain, such as PCA analgesic technology, intrathecal implanted drug infusion system, nerve destruction, spinal cord stimulation, and vertebroplasty.
Finally, Chairman Xie Guanglun once again emphasized the treatment concept of tumor pain, that is, good pain control can not only improve the quality of life of cancer patients, but also promote the treatment of tumors.
On April 16, the Science Popularization Activity of the Tumor Genetic Diagnosis Special Committee
On the morning of April 16, Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital, as the chairman unit of the Tumor Gene Diagnosis Committee of the China Anti-Cancer Association, carried out public welfare activities such as cancer prevention and treatment science education, one-on-one consultation with genetic counselors, and free genetic testing with the theme of "CACA Guidelines, I Know You, Genetic Testing, Know You Know Me - Diagnosis and Prevention of Hereditary Tumors".
Wei Bing, Secretary-General of the Tumor Genetic Diagnosis Committee and Deputy Director of the Department of Molecular Pathology of the Clinical Pathology Center, said in his speech that at present, the situation of cancer prevention and treatment in mainland China is still grim, and there are still great difficulties and challenges in cancer prevention and treatment.
"Doctor, can I take targeted drugs?" "Can I detect cancer with a tube of blood?" "Is colorectal cancer hereditary?" ...... In the popular science lecture session, Dr. Yang and Dr. Zhang Cuiyun from the Genetic Testing Center of the Department of Molecular Pathology, and Dr. Wang Jianzheng from the Department of Medical Oncology respectively gave popular science lectures on the themes of "Application of Methylation Technology in Early Tumor Screening", "Breast and Ovary Syndrome and BRCA" and "Diagnosis of Familial Tumors Related to Lynch Syndrome" to answer the doubts of most cancer patients or the public.
They introduced the diagnosis and prevention of common hereditary tumors, so that the public can fully understand that the best way to prevent cancer is early prevention, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment, so that the scientific concept of cancer prevention will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and continuously improve the level of personal health management.
At the site of the multidisciplinary free clinic activity, Liu Ying, deputy director of the Department of Medical Oncology, Wang Jufeng, deputy director of the Department of Medical Oncology, Luo Yanlin, chief physician of the Department of Gynecologic Oncology, Zhang Xiaojie, deputy chief physician of the Department of Immunotherapy, and Dr. Hou Yangyang of the Department of Breast Surgery came to help as a group of clinical experts. The experts patiently answered questions for the masses, carefully checked the previous examination reports, cases and other information, inquired about the symptoms in detail, and gave targeted diagnosis and treatment suggestions according to individual conditions.
At this event, the Genetic Testing Center of the Department of Molecular Pathology also provided free genetic testing for the consulters who met the screening conditions among the relatives of some confirmed patients, which was welcomed by patients and their families.
On April 17, the Science Popularization Activity of the Tumor Nuclear Medicine Special Committee
In today's rapid development of science and technology, the application of nuclides, as an important part of modern science and technology, has attracted more and more attention. On the morning of April 17, a popular science lecture on radionuclide therapy for tumors was held in the lobby on the first floor of the outpatient building of our hospital, attracting many audiences to unveil the mystery of radionuclides.
The lecture was delivered by Yang Hui, chairman of the Tumor Nuclear Medicine Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and director of the Nuclear Medicine Department of Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital.
"What are nuclides" and "How do nuclides treat tumors?...... With these problems, Chairman Yang Hui first talked about the characteristics of radionuclide therapy, explained the principle of radionuclide therapy and representative nuclides concisely and clearly, and introduced the characteristics of radionuclide therapy, radionuclide targeted therapy methods and influencing factors of effect. By using specific radionuclides, doctors are able to precisely kill tumor cells, reducing damage to normal tissues and improving treatment outcomes.
He introduced that the CACA guidelines pointed out three aspects that need to be paid attention to in radionuclide therapy: the target target of radiopharmaceuticals, the absorption dose of the target lesion to radioactivity to reach the radical treatment amount, and the radiation sensitivity of tumor lesions. In this regard, he made a specific analysis one by one.
In the lecture, Chairman Yang Hui also emphasized the indications and contraindications of radionuclide therapy, as well as the knowledge of radiation protection of radionuclide therapy. He noted that although nuclides are radioactive, they are safe to use properly under the guidance of healthcare professionals. At the same time, the hospital is also equipped with advanced protective equipment and measures to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff.
After the lecture, the audience was enthusiastic and asked questions to experts on issues related to radionuclide therapy, and Chairman Yang Hui patiently answered and had an in-depth interactive exchange with the audience. Many audience members said that through the lecture, they had a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of nuclear medicine and radionuclide therapy, as well as more understanding of the application of radionuclides in the medical field.
On April 17, the Chinese and Western Integration Bladder Cancer Special Committee Science Popularization Activity
On the morning of April 17, Yang Tiejun, chairman of the Chinese and Western Integrated Bladder Cancer Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and deputy director of the Department of Urology of Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital, gave the answer.
Chairman Yang Tiejun brought a lecture entitled "MDT (Multidisciplinary Discussion)-HIM (Integrative Medicine) and ERAS (Enhanced Recovery Surgery) in the Practice of Urological Tumors", popularizing the treatment concepts and methods of urological tumor diseases, and promoting the practical application of multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment, integrated medicine and rapid recovery in the field of urology.
He first threw out a question: is it reasonable for a doctor to decide the life and death of a cancer patient? "The biological behavior of tumors in the genitourinary system is different, and the sensitivity to systemic treatment is also very different, some tumors can be controlled for a long time even at a very advanced stage, while some tumors can only obtain palliative effects at most, obviously, the traditional 1-to-1 medical model is difficult to solve the optimal diagnosis and treatment of patients, which has given birth to a multidisciplinary team (MDT) comprehensive diagnosis and treatment model. Yang Tiejun explained that this model not only helps to break down the barriers between different specialties and improve the level of diagnosis and treatment, but also allows patients to receive more comprehensive and efficient medical services.
"Integrative medicine is the organic integration of the most advanced knowledge and theories in various fields of medicine and the most effective practical experience of various clinical specialties, and is revised and adjusted according to the social, environmental and psychological realities, so as to make it more consistent and more suitable for human health and disease diagnosis and treatment. As for how to achieve MDT-HIM, Chairman Yang Tiejun talked about the background, history and practice of the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment team of urological oncology in our hospital, saying that this concept emphasizes patient-centered, pays attention to the physical and mental health of patients, and provides new ideas for the comprehensive treatment of urological tumors.
He also explained in detail the role and significance of rapid recovery in the treatment of urological tumors based on clinical cases.
The subsequent free clinic activities also attracted the participation of a large number of patients and their families. A team of experts from the Department of Urology and Nuclear Medicine provided free disease consultations, health consultations and other services. The experts patiently and meticulously answer the questions of the patients and provide professional health guidance.
Many patients and friends who came to the clinic said that by participating in the free clinic activities, they had a more comprehensive understanding of the treatment of tumors, and also had a deeper understanding of the concepts of multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment, integrated medicine and rapid recovery.
On April 18, the Sino-Western Integrated Lung Cancer Special Committee and the Sino-Western Integrated Esophageal Cancer Special Committee held popular science activities
On April 18, the "30th National Cancer Prevention and Treatment Publicity Week-CACA Guide Science Popularization and Education of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" was successfully held in the hall on the first floor of the outpatient clinic, sponsored by the Chinese and Western Integrated Lung Cancer Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and the Chinese and Western Integrated Esophageal Cancer Special Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association, and undertaken by Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital.
As the vice chairman of the Sino-Western Integrated Lung Cancer Special Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and the secretary-general of the Sino-Western Integrated Esophageal Cancer Special Committee, Liu Huaimin, director of the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of our hospital, pointed out in his speech that traditional Chinese medicine plays a very important role in the comprehensive treatment of tumors, which runs through the entire tumor treatment, including the application of traditional Chinese medicine before surgery to improve immunity, postoperative recovery to promote recovery and prevent tumor recurrence. During radiotherapy, through the application of traditional Chinese medicine, the symptoms of radiation inflammation can be improved. In chemotherapy, targeting, immunology and other internal medical treatments, traditional Chinese medicine also plays a role in increasing efficiency and reducing toxicity. Liu Huaimin said that lung cancer and esophageal cancer are malignant tumors with a high incidence in mainland China, and he hoped that through this event, everyone could better understand the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in tumor treatment.
In the lecture session, Li Huahua, deputy chief physician of the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, interpreted the relevant knowledge for the patients and their families from three aspects: what is esophageal cancer, misunderstandings of dietary therapy, and recommendations of dietary therapy.
Sun Xu, attending physician of the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, gave a popular science lecture on the common treatment of lung cancer, coping strategies for adverse reactions, and patients' self-health management with the title of "Common Treatment of Lung Cancer".
Subsequently, Cui Qingli, Zhang Xinfeng, Li Huahua, deputy chief physicians of the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Sun Xu, attending physician and other experts carried out free clinic activities on the spot, checking the pulse of patients, answering questions, prescribing on the spot, and advising on medication matters.
65-year-old Uncle Qi is a patient with advanced esophageal cancer, this day coincided with his return to the hospital for a follow-up, passing by to see this event, Uncle Qi couldn't help but sigh: "From the day I was sentenced to death, it was the integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment of Liu Huaimin's team that made me reborn, and now I have lived for 5 years! Thank you very much to Director Liu's team!"
