Zou Yuliang is a doctor at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University in mainland China, and he has been working in the clinical front line for more than 30 years. Countless days and nights of fighting for the lives of patients, I don't know how many patients have been pulled back from the brink of life and death.
However, such a conscientious and responsible doctor received a "death notice" for his life. In December 2017, Zou Yuliang was busy in the department as usual, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, which made his face pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. At the beginning, Zou Yuliang thought that it was caused by being too tired from work, and he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it would be good to rest for a while.
However, after a period of time, Zou Yuliang's symptoms not only did not lessen, but worsened. A colleague suggested that he go to the imaging department for a check-up, and Zou Yuliang attracted attention. As a result, I didn't expect that this investigation would find out that it was an advanced liver cancer.
The results of the examination showed three large lesions on the liver and lung metastases. Clinically, the survival time of the patient in this case is at most 3-6 months, and the method of surgical resection or liver transplantation is often not effective, which is equivalent to a death ultimatum.
Liver cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the liver. Due to the aggressive nature of cancer cells, liver cancer can metastasize to organs. The most common location of metastasis is intrahepatic metastasis, and when distant metastases occur in the liver, such as those in the lungs, cranial and bone parts, it is often difficult to treat, the degree of malignancy is high, and the prognosis of patients is poor.
In life, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of diseases. In particular, if you have a viral infection, such as hepatitis B, you need to receive treatment promptly. When the disease is not controlled, there is a risk that hepatitis B will progress to cirrhosis. As the disease progresses, it is possible to increase the likelihood of the liver becoming cancerous in later stages. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid eating moldy and spoiled food.
After learning that he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, Zou Yuliang was in a trance. His face was pale, and his whole body was a little shaky. Zou Yuliang never expected that he would go from an oncologist to a cancer patient in an instant, and this rapid change in identity made him a little difficult to accept for a while.
When his wife learned the bad news, she also cried so much that her eyes were red and she couldn't close her eyes all night. After some thought, she searched for doctors and medicines everywhere, and ran between various cancer hospitals, just so that her husband could make a living. Huangtian finally allowed her to find a cutting-edge medical technology, that is, CAR-T therapy in immunotherapy.
CAR-T cell therapy is a new type of treatment that has emerged in recent years, and it is a precision targeted therapy technology. As we all know, T lymphocytes in the human body belong to a type of immune cell. However, when cancer occurs in the body, T lymphocytes cannot function properly.
Scientific research has found that when T lymphocytes are extracted from cancer patients and made into CAR-T cells through a series of means, they can play a certain therapeutic role, so as to achieve the purpose of cancer treatment. However, this treatment also has certain risks, in clinical practice, it is effective for leukemia and lymphoma, but during the treatment, the patient still reacts violently, and it is necessary to observe the trend of the disease at any time to avoid adverse reactions.
As a clinical doctor, Zou Yuliang knows that a step closer is a cliff, and a step back is also a cliff. Although CAR-T technology has certain efficacy in hematological tumors, the treatment of solid tumors such as liver cancer is still in the stage of clinical trials and has great risks.
After a series of evaluations, Zou Yuliang's physical indicators met the conditions for CAR-T therapy. After the approval of the medical ethics committee, Zou Yuliang made a bold decision to treat himself like a guinea pig to experiment with the therapeutic effect of CAR-T therapy technology.
In February 2018, Zou Yuliang received a combination of CAR-T therapy and targeted drugs, and after 5 months of treatment and hospitalization, Zou Yuliang's body gradually recovered. At the most difficult time, the inside of his mouth completely ulcerated, and eating became extremely painful.
However, what is surprising is that Zou Yuliang not only succeeded in fighting cancer, but also successfully returned to his job, and 7 years have passed. When he went to the hospital again for a follow-up visit, the results showed that the AFP in his body, which is the most sensitive indicator of the tumor, had completely returned to normal, which not only meant that the body had returned to health, but also that the tumor cells had been destroyed and no longer grew.
Professor Zou Yuliang is still treating patients today, and outsiders do not know that he was once a terminal cancer patient. From the advanced stage of liver cancer to the disappearance of cancer cells, Zou Yuliang has undoubtedly created a miracle in clinical history, which can't help but make countless patients very curious about how he escaped from the clutches of cancer.
When the reporter came to interview, Zou Yuliang said bluntly, "During that difficult period of fighting cancer, my wife gave me a lot of help. In addition, I also summed up 3 key points in the fight against cancer, and it is these 3 points that have allowed me to throw away the grim reaper and persist until now! ”
The first point is to actively receive treatment
As a terminal cancer patient, Zou Yuliang did not give up easily after being diagnosed, but chose to actively accept treatment. Through reasonable treatment, it can not only alleviate the pain of cancer patients, but also play a role in controlling the disease and prolonging life. In addition, the CAR-T therapy chosen by Zou Yuliang is a new treatment technology, which plays a role in destroying cancer cells to a large extent. This means that the combination of advanced medical technology and conservative immunological therapies can significantly improve efficacy. It is worth noting that different patients have different physical conditions and conditions, and they cannot blindly choose treatment methods, but need to take appropriate treatment measures according to the advice of professional doctors.
The second point is to keep a steady mindset
After Zou Yuliang suffered from cancer, he quickly adjusted his mentality. With great perseverance and unparalleled courage, he was able to overcome cancer. During the treatment process, he has maintained a steady state of mind and chooses to accept whatever the outcome. In the early stage of CAR-T therapy, Zou Yuliang was ready to dedicate himself to the medical career. Today, he is still fighting on the front lines of medical treatment, cheering each other up with the patients. According to scientific research, an optimistic and positive attitude helps to improve the body's immunity, maintain the stability of the body's internal environment, promote the body's metabolism, help enhance the efficacy of drugs, and help patients fight cancer cells.
The third point is to eat a balanced diet and keep exercising
Diet is the main source of energy intake for the human body, and it is necessary to pay attention to a regular diet and a balanced nutrition. Avoid foods that are too spicy and irritating, as well as foods that are too oily and sweet. When the body does not eat properly, it will not only damage the spleen and stomach, but also may cause dampness and heat in the body, which will cause diseases. The diet is light and easy to digest, focusing on the principle of reasonable diet and comprehensive nutrition.
Exercising in moderation can also help your health. Especially for cancer patients or the elderly, it is not advisable to do strenuous exercise, so as not to sweat profusely and cause the loss of positive qi. Also, avoid drinking cold water after exercising. Exercise should ensure the principle of moderation and choose appropriate exercise methods, such as walking, jogging, swimming, practicing the eight vajra gongs, longevity gongs, tai chi, etc.
To sum up, the above three points are worth learning from. In addition, quitting smoking and drinking, avoiding staying up late, combining work and rest, and maintaining good sleep quality will also help improve the body's immune system and enhance physical fitness.
