What do you think of the vice president who has been a doctor for 27 years and was finally diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer?

While expressing deep regret, I also want to popularize science for everyone:

What are the characteristics of pancreatic cancer? The high incidence of pancreatic cancer is 40-year-old men and people with type B blood. Why? Pancreatic cancer has many relatively common specific features. Here, it is better to introduce the performance characteristics of pancreatic cancer to everyone.

Men of this age should be careful of pancreatic cancer.

The incidence of pancreatic cancer in the population aged 40-44 was 2/65438+ 10,000, and that in the population aged 80-84 was 100/65438+ 10,000, an increase of 50 times. More than 80% of cases occur between the ages of 60 and 80. China pancreatic cancer mortality study found that 69.62% of pancreatic cancer cases occurred in people aged 60 and above. From the age distribution of pancreatic cancer mortality, pancreatic cancer belongs to middle-aged and elderly diseases.

This study shows that people with type B blood should pay more attention to pancreatic cancer, especially those who already have other high-risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Studies have proved that excessive intake of sweets and meat, smoking and drinking, and obesity are closely related to pancreatic cancer, especially a high-protein and high-fat diet. If you usually eat too much fat, starch, protein and other substances, it will easily lead to pancreatic overload, malignant transformation of pancreatic cells, and gradually lead to pancreatic cancer.

What are the symptoms of pancreatic cancer?

1, abdominal pain. No matter where the tumor is located, abdominal pain is the main symptom of pancreatic cancer. Many patients with pancreatic cancer often have pain in the middle abdomen, left upper abdomen and right upper abdomen, and a few cases have lower abdomen, periumbilical or total abdominal pain, so they are easily confused with other diseases. When cancer involves visceral capsule, peritoneum or retroperitoneal tissue, there may be tenderness in the corresponding parts.

2, thin. Most patients with pancreatic cancer will have symptoms of emaciation or sudden emaciation, which is also the most common symptom of pancreatic cancer. This is considered to be related to abnormal bile secretion, which affects nutrient absorption and leads to emaciation.

3. Obstructive jaundice. It is a prominent manifestation of pancreatic head cancer. If the tumor site is near the ampulla, jaundice can appear earlier, which often persists and deepens progressively, and the stool becomes pale or even muddy, and the skin is yellow or bronze, accompanied by itchy skin.

4, constipation. If you suddenly have constipation, it is quite dangerous; Because the pancreatic duct is blocked, and after sudden severe pain, the pancreas is likely to autolysis, and even lead to sudden death of patients with pancreatic cancer.

As a gastrointestinal surgeon, I will answer this question. I am very familiar with Vice President Wang Leyan, because they are both engaged in the field of colorectal cancer, and I know more or less about these professors in the industry. I was shocked when I learned the news. My first feeling is that doctors don't treat themselves, although Wang Chuang is an expert and professor devoted to colorectal cancer research and enjoys a high reputation in the industry. However, he didn't take good care of his body. Maybe I was too busy at work and didn't have a regular physical examination. When pancreatic cancer was discovered, it was already advanced and had metastasized to the liver.

At this time, Professor Wang Leyan was only 49 years old. He is really a jealous genius. Pancreatic cancer is called the king of cancer. Because there are no specific clinical manifestations in the early stage, when symptoms appear and cancer is found, it is often late. Because of the rapid development of pancreatic cancer cells and the difficulty of surgery, most people die within six months after the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer is only about 5% to 10%.

After the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, Wang Leyan was not intimidated by the disease, but chose active treatment. On April 1 day, 2065438, he underwent surgery and removed his spleen, 80% of his pancreas, part of his stomach and most of the nerves near his intestine. "When I was in surgery, I was ready to wake up." Wang Leyan said.

After the operation, Wang Leyan received chemotherapy. However, only two months later, on June 5, he boarded the podium of the International Cancer Conference and reported his research results. It has been 13 months since Professor Wang was diagnosed with cancer. Apart from receiving treatment, he has not stopped working. Outpatients, academic conferences and lectures have been uninterrupted. At some critical moments of the operation, he personally took the stage to operate.

The advanced pancreatic cancer has been 13 months, which is a medical miracle in itself. According to the statistics of academicians, the survival rate of doctors suffering from cancer is obviously higher than that of ordinary people, because doctors can face up to their cancer, receive the most formal treatment and face it with a positive attitude.

We hope Professor Wang Can can beat pancreatic cancer! I hope a miracle can happen!

Wang Leyan, a respected expert in colorectal surgery and vice president of the Sixth Hospital of CUHK, has been a doctor for 27 years. Due to the high tumor markers in the physical examination in March of 20 18, it was finally diagnosed as advanced pancreatic cancer. After the operation, he insisted on making house calls with illness. After fighting cancer 15 months, he died on June 23 this year at the age of 50. This reminds me of a vice president in college, in his fifties, who is an expert in general surgery and is good at surgical treatment of malignant tumors of liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen. One day, he was suddenly diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, less than three months from diagnosis to death.

The sudden death of medical experts due to malignant tumors that they often contact sounds a bit incredible. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, as medical personnel, they should know this very well and should be able to avoid this situation. But there is a good saying that drowning people can swim. To some extent, the two are similar. Those who can swim may be careless and generally don't think of drowning. Similarly, in fact, many medical experts usually have no time to pay attention to their own health. It is not that they don't want to pay attention, but that they are busy. Basically, the daily schedule is very tight, and overtime is common. People who feel a little uncomfortable just deal with it. As time goes on, they sometimes encounter big problems. Like Dean Wang Leyan, in fact, in the second half of 20 17, he often felt low back pain and caught a cold, but because his schedule was always full, he thought he was overworked and didn't care too much. For example, the vice principal of our school has been feeling uncomfortable in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time before the diagnosis, thinking that it is common gastroenteritis, so it is good to take some medicine to deal with it.

Let's start with pancreatic cancer, which is very concealed, with a high degree of malignancy and no symptoms in the early stage. Most of the symptoms appear in the late stage, and the prognosis is very poor. The time from diagnosis to death is very short, so it is called "the king of cancer". At present, there is no direct and specific early detection method for pancreatic cancer. Different from lung cancer, chest CT can be used to know whether there are lesions in the lungs. Screening for pancreatic cancer is best to cast a wide net. Imaging examination combined with laboratory examination, such as ultrasound, CT (must be enhanced), MR (must be enhanced) and tumor markers CA 199, CA 125 and CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen). For example, Dean Wang Leyan found the abnormal increase of CEA in the physical examination before further examination.

As a medical staff, I have a deep understanding of the fatigue of medical staff. Although the schedule is nine to five, it is actually very difficult to do it. Overtime is common, there are no holidays, because of work needs, there is an emergency in the middle of the night, but there is no way. Life is life, you have to do what you need to do, and this should also be the particularity of this industry. Health is the capital of revolution. I hope that the majority of medical workers should take good care of their own health while taking good care of patients.

When I was studying medicine, my teacher had a heart-to-heart talk with several famous Chinese medicine practitioners. They talked about this cancer problem. They say that cancer cells cannot be detected. Sesame is cancer when it is bigger, and the tumor is still three pounds long. They will never become cancer. Cancer cells are as hard as stones, and tumors are soft. They can't be mixed together. Now western medicine is talking about early detection and early treatment to prevent cancer. Anyway, I don't believe this. How did he get terminal cancer? Facts have proved that what the old Chinese doctor said is right. A netizen named Fan Sheng, whose sister got mastitis, was told by doctors in three hospitals that his sister got breast cancer. He scared his sister out of eating rice and cried every day. He told me the situation. I asked, does it hurt? Can you push it? His sister said it hurts, but it can be pushed. I'll ask her questions. Don't worry! Not cancer, breast tuberculosis hyperplasia, mastitis, not cancer. 100%, the result came out in less than two days. As I said, mastitis was a big surprise. It cost 10 thousand yuan. If the doctor touched this loaf of bread, he would know that cancer was not cancer. Cancer cells are hard and cannot be pushed, and tumors are soft, but they can be pushed. This is the method of Chinese medicine to determine cancer. Visceral cancer can't be detected by Chinese medicine, and no instrument can be accurate.

Actually, doctors are human. Don't think that doctors are afraid to get close to diseases because they save lives. Doctors are no different from others in fighting diseases. Because of the particularity of doctors' work, they may sometimes be worse than their ability to fight diseases.

As for the vice president who has been a doctor for 27 years, it is normal that he was finally diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. Most patients with pancreatic cancer were found to have advanced cancer. Coincidentally, Apple CEO Steve Jobs also suffered from pancreatic cancer and liver metastasis. Pancreatic cancer is terrible. There are many kinds of cancers, such as lung cancer, gastric cancer and intestinal cancer. But only pancreatic cancer is called "the king of cancer", and its terrible degree can be imagined. Although the level of medical technology has improved and the diagnosis and treatment technology of cancer has been continuously developed, the probability that patients with pancreatic cancer can live for five years is less than 5%, and getting pancreatic cancer is equivalent to being sentenced to death.

The incidence of pancreatic cancer is hidden, and most of them have no clinical manifestations in the early stage. Sometimes they only show pain in the upper abdomen and abdominal distension. The symptoms are very atypical. Many patients will think that their stomachs are not good, and many doctors will ignore them. Because the pancreatic head of the pancreas is close to the bile duct, if pancreatic cancer is located at the pancreatic head, the tumor will block the bile duct when it is compressed, resulting in jaundice symptoms. At this time, if the patient goes to the hospital, it is possible to detect pancreatic cancer. However, because the pancreas is located in the deep part of the abdomen, although it sometimes has symptoms, it needs sophisticated equipment and doctors with certain experience and level to find pancreatic cancer. Generally speaking, because the symptoms of pancreatic cancer are hidden, the examination also requires relatively high equipment and experienced doctors, so it is difficult to find pancreatic cancer early. Most patients with pancreatic cancer were found to have advanced cancer.

Moreover, because the blood vessels and lymphoid tissues around the pancreas are rich and complex and close to the liver, pancreatic cancer is easy to metastasize, and it is normal for cancer cells to spread to the liver.

I am not surprised at the advanced stage of pancreatic cancer, the vice president of a doctor for 27 years. However, I think it's a pity that Professor Wang Leyan passed away on June 23rd, 20 19 at the age of 50. Long-term commitment to the clinical and transformation research of colorectal cancer and radiation enteritis has made remarkable achievements in medical teaching and scientific research. The death of Professor Wang Leyan is a great loss to China medicine. His attitude towards the disease also touched many people: Professor Wang Leyan was unable to eat independently after palliative surgery, but he still insisted on seeing the patient two months after surgery, and also appeared at the American Congress of Clinical Oncology to explain the only report of gastrointestinal colorectal cancer from China to nearly 10,000 oncologists from all over the world. ...

Pay tribute to Professor Huang Lei.

In everyone's mind, doctors have a higher awareness of health, especially cancer, a major disease, which should be found early and treated in time.

In reality, medical staff have a little more awareness of disease prevention than ordinary people, and they have a unique advantage in screening major diseases in physical examination. But diseases like cancer are sometimes difficult to prevent completely.

Take pancreatic cancer as an example. The pancreas is located deep in the body cavity, and the surrounding organs and tissues are complex, especially the most common pancreatic head cancer, which is surrounded by duodenum, surrounded by large blood vessels and pancreatic duct. It has the characteristics of early invasion of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels and spread to liver, peritoneum, lung and lymph nodes. Early pancreatic cancer can be found without any symptoms, and the probability of being found is extremely low. With the progress of the disease, symptoms such as epigastric pain, jaundice, nausea and vomiting will suddenly appear, but it is usually very late when the above symptoms appear.

Moreover, pancreatic cancer is highly malignant and there are few effective treatments. Except for a few early detection and radical surgery, there is no more effective control method and no recommended targeted drugs. And even if it is found early, the probability of postoperative recurrence and metastasis is extremely high. According to clinical statistics, the median survival time of patients who can't be operated is only 6-9 months, while the average survival time of patients who have the opportunity of operation is only 15 months, and the 5-year survival rate is about 15%.

Doctors are also ordinary people, especially cancer, a major disease, which is difficult to prevent fundamentally.

This incident shows that regular physical examination is meaningless. Does the vice president of a hospital know nothing about medicine? Won't he have a regular physical examination? Then why is one discovery terminal cancer? Moreover, he is an expert who often publishes academic papers on cancer treatment, but he died in the late stage of cancer, which further shows that western medicine is ineffective in treating cancer, and a few recovered cancer patients are actually self-healing by western medicine itself.

Why is the hospital overcrowded now? Why are there all kinds of cancers and chronic diseases? The fundamental reason is that people's health concepts and medical methods deviate from the right direction. People believe too much in the medical level of hospitals, mistakenly think that technology is the savior, entrust health and life to medical care completely, and do various examinations and tests for people who are sick or not at ordinary times, completely forgetting that the root of health lies in peacetime prevention and ignoring the importance of nip in the bud.

It is more important to prevent and treat diseases. Scientific researchers in medical institutions must contribute to disease prevention in order to effectively prevent people from getting sick. However, driven by immediate interests, hospitals only see the economic benefits of treatment, and the toxicity of drugs and the radiation of inspection equipment affect human health to varying degrees. No illness, minor illness, serious illness. The more patients are treated, the more serious they get. Therefore, if you want not to get sick and get sick less, you must pay attention to health care in peacetime, conform to the laws of nature, eat when you should, and rest when you should. No matter how advanced medical treatment is, it can't cure life, just as the vice president can cure other people's diseases but not his own.

Questions raised in the industry, responses from outside the industry, sighs ...

Quote common sense to answer first:

1, diseases in the world always come uninvited, including dangerous and desperate situations;

2. In addition to white tooling, doctors are also physical people in essence;

3. The pathogenesis of malignant tumor is still unclear. At present, there are two reliable related factors, one is gene and the other is lifestyle.

Second, adjust the mentality analysis:

1, life is beautiful and life is very important. No matter how sick anyone is, outsiders should respond with sympathy, kindness, comfort and help, instead of letting innocent people lie down and get shot, subjectively or for no reason!

2, others' advice, prevention is better than cure. Including ideological attention, establishing a healthy lifestyle, and regular check-ups to achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.

Here, I really want to remind people in the industry that although my career is important, I am in excellent health. Take appropriate measures within your ability. Your family and patients still need your long-term companionship. You must set an example of good health!

Every time I see the doctor fall down, I sigh!

People in the industry cherish it.

Everyone will get cancer, and doctors are no exception. The difference is that doctors know the consequences and costs of each treatment process. Most cancers are incurable. They know they will die, and they know how long they will die. It's still painful to feel weaker every day. This doctor is a doctor of rectal surgery. When he was a dean in his forties, he was still young and promising. He fought cancer with cancer patients for 27 years, and as a result, fate had a meeting with him. The only advantage is that he can better understand the feelings of patients and the psychological burden that treatment brings to patients and their families. I remember an old doctor who advocated total gastrectomy as a treatment for gastric cancer. He has been doing total gastrectomy all his life and cares about the pain of patients. It was not until he also had an operation that he really felt how painful the patient was and put forward new suggestions. May the doctor rest assured and take good care of his illness.

In the face of disease, everyone is equal, and no one dares to say that he will definitely not get cancer, or he will definitely get cancer. Equality here means that diseases, including cancer, will not be taken special care of for reasons other than pathogenic factors, such as who has the right, who has the money, whether he is a doctor, etc. Of course, sometimes these factors do have an impact on the onset, but this is not because the disease takes special care of anyone, but because some people do better. For example, rich people may have the conditions to do well, so they are less sick, but even if you have money, you won't be sick if you don't do well. You can't get sick if you have money.

Some people say that doctors themselves are people who treat people and should not get sick or get sick less. Yes, that makes sense, but doctors themselves are a profession. Sometimes they can't help themselves. Sometimes they know how to do it, but they can't. For example, they know that overwork is not good and sedentary is not good, but doctors can be leisurely. Can you stop sitting for a long time? There are so many patients waiting in the clinic, can't you finish reading them? So sometimes doctors will become a high-risk group of patients, because they are a group of people who overdraw their health, and they sacrifice their health for patients.

In addition to these external environmental factors, sometimes there are other factors, such as people who don't smoke or drink, but the probability is low, which may be genetic related factors or even random factors (unknown reasons).

Many people always think that doctors will not get sick. Some people say that doctors will get sick. This sounds a bit helpless and ridiculous. Doctors are human. He is a mortal first, then a doctor. He is a mortal, and so are worldly desires. He will be angry, sad and sick.
