Sun Qiang, treat breast cancer and take into account the beauty

Sun Qiang, 57 years old, director, professor and doctoral supervisor of breast surgery of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, chairman of the Breast Professional Committee of the Chinese Association of Research Hospitals; engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases for more than 30 years, the main surgical operation of breast cancer exceeded 6,000 cases; the difficult surgery of breast cancer continued to explore and innovate, improve the path, innovative methods, delve into clinical breakthrough procedures, completed the first surgery in many countries; published more than 50 SCI papers, 2 books, 2 patents, and won 7 national and provincial awards.

"The scalpel seems to have long eyes, cut flat, cut along, and swim forward at a rapid pace, healthy skin only needs to cut a small cut, the diseased gland can be completely removed, no blood vessel damage." This is the surgical state of "breast fast knife" Sun Qiang, who once completed the classic breast cancer modified radical surgery in 15 minutes live demonstration, composing a legend in the industry.

Women's breasts are different from other organs, it is not only connected with life, but also closely related to beauty, and will also have a very big impact on women's psychology. In order to care for women's health, over the years, Sun Qiang has continuously explored and innovated difficult surgeries for breast cancer, improved paths and innovative methods, studied clinical breakthrough surgeries, and completed the first surgery in many countries. In the early 1990s, Sun Qiang took the lead in carrying out ultrasound or molybdenum-guided localization clinical untouchable breast lesion resection biopsy surgery in China, found a large number of untouchable early breast cancer, created a precedent for early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in China, and greatly promoted the rapid development of early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in China. In order to promote the prevention of breast cancer causes, Sun Qiang proposed and confirmed the screening model suitable for Chinese women in Western countries, pioneered the PUMCH model of Chinese women's breast cancer risk factor screening, revealed the high risk factors of breast cancer in China, improved the discovery and treatment system of early breast cancer groups in China, and improved the survival rate and treatment satisfaction of the sick population.

To minimize the effect of surgery on the appearance of the breast. Sun Qiang improved the surgical method of breast cancer, greatly reduced the postoperative complications of classic breast cancer modified radical surgery, and enhanced the aesthetics of the breast. Sun Qiang successively pioneered the single incision of the ring areola, the total mastectomy of the semi-areolar incision and the dissection of axillary lymph nodes and the primary reconstruction, the single resection and molding of refractory local large tumors, and the small incision of the ring areola to remove the huge tumor. Under the premise of ensuring the safety of surgery, the postoperative aesthetic effect is greatly increased and the quality of life of women is improved.

Engaged in breast therapy for more than 30 years, Sun Qiang led the team to establish a multidisciplinary cooperative breast disease diagnosis and treatment center model horizontally, and established multiple sub-platforms such as chronic disease management, genetic counseling, postoperative follow-up, patient education, late-stage specialization, and postoperative assistance within the department, providing full-process and multi-faceted assistance for breast cancer patients. The integrated treatment process and management mode create a reassuring treatment environment and standardized treatment path for patients, effectively reduce the treatment shedding rate of patients, improve the completion rate of the established program and the follow-up rate after surgery, and improve the survival status of breast cancer patients.

As a well-known expert in the field of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment research, Sun Qiang has presided over and undertaken a number of national key scientific and technological projects on the basis of years of clinical practice and research, completed the national "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" support project "Comparison and Evaluation of Community-based Breast Cancer Screening Programs", the national "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" support project "Establishing a Breast Cancer Screening Model Suitable for China's National Conditions", and the Major Project of the Science and Technology Program of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission "The Establishment of Technical Solutions and Diagnosis Standardization Processes for Breast Cancer Screening". And many other topics related to the early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and transformation, and advocated the establishment of corresponding breast cancer diagnosis and treatment guidelines.

Sun Qiang and his team also publicized the concept of early diagnosis and screening, all-round diagnosis and treatment and tertiary prevention of breast cancer through various forms, hosted 8 international conferences, more than 30 domestic conferences, and trained more than 500 doctors at all levels. The results have been popularized and applied in more than 30 hospitals and health service institutions across the country, and have made important contributions to the development of breast cancer prevention and treatment in China. ▲(Courtesy of Peking Union Medical College Hospital)
