At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Tianlin came to the People's Hospital on time, and when he came to the brain tumor area on his rounds, a doctor in the brain tumor area saw Chen Tianlin walking in front and immediately reported to Chen Tianlin: "Professor Chen! Last night, we came to our ward with a brain tumor patient, the patient's condition is very serious, and I suspect that the patient's condition has metastasized extracranially. ”

Extracranial metastasis of brain tumors mostly occurs after surgery, the main reason is that the sub-tumors have great infiltration, directly through the dura mater, invade extracranial tissues, most of the intracranial tumors require a higher growth environment and conditions, after metastasis to the extracranial, because they cannot adapt to the environment, the incubation period is generally very long, once the onset of the disease, it means that the patient's condition is already quite serious.

Hearing the report of the doctor on duty, Chen Tianlin, who was walking in front, asked with a stern face: "Doctor Guo! ”

When the doctor on duty heard Chen Tianlin's words, he replied while leading the way: "Professor Chen! The patient is in bed No. 75!"

"The family of Bed No. 75, this is Professor Chen, the director of the oncology department of our hospital!" The doctor on duty walked into the ward and saw two middle-aged brothers and sisters gathered in front of the bed, and hurriedly introduced Chen Tianlin to the patient's family.

The family members of the two patients, hearing the introduction of the doctor on duty, saw Chen Tianlin walking in front, and a surprised expression appeared on their faces, because Chen Tianlin in front of them was too young, if they hadn't seen the doctors in the ward, all of them were headed by Chen Tianlin, they would definitely think that the Professor Chen in front of them was an impostor.

The reaction of the middle-aged brother and sister was completely expected by Chen Tianlin, but he was not dissatisfied with this, he walked to the bed, looked at the patient lying on the bed, and instructed the doctor on duty: "Doctor Guo! Who is in charge of bed No. 75? ”

"Professor Chen! I am in charge of the patient, and since it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening when the patient was admitted yesterday, I did not arrange for the patient to be examined for the time being, but the patient's family brought the patient's past cases with me!" Dr. Guo immediately replied when he heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry.

The middle-aged man came to his senses when he heard Chen Tianlin instruct the doctor on duty to take the case, and he hurriedly took out his father's past case from the bedside table drawer, and said apologetically, "Professor Chen! Hello! I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so young, please forgive me for the offense!"

"This is a picture of my father's case at our local hospital, as well as a CT scan!"

Chen Tianlin heard the middle-aged man's apology, took the case from the other party's hand, read the case carefully, and then said to the patient on the hospital bed in a cordial tone: "Uncle! Since you have arrived in our Jiangcheng, you can treat the disease here with peace of mind, now I will help you take the pulse first!"

After Chen Tianlin checked the patient's pulse, he immediately used the human image scanning system to scan the patient, and after confirming that the patient's condition was an extracranial metastasis as the treating doctor said, he said to the patient's family with a serious face: "Mr. Dong, please come with me." ”

After the two walked out of the ward together, Chen Tianlin introduced with a serious face: "Mr. Dong, according to the case you provided and the results of my father's diagnosis just now, your father's condition is not very optimistic, and the cancer cells in his brain are likely to have metastasized extracranially, and this metastasis is very rare in terms of brain cancer metastasis..."

"Professor Chen! How is this possible? My father had undergone a brain tumor removal operation in our local hospital, and the operation was very successful, why do you think that my father had an extracranial metastasis?" Although the patient's family is not a doctor, they are very sensitive to the word metastasis, and when he heard Chen Tianlin's introduction, he immediately interjected to confirm the news with Chen Tianlin without waiting for Chen Tianlin to finish speaking.

Chen Tianlin understood the feelings of the patient's family very well, so Chen Tianlin was not dissatisfied because the other party suddenly interrupted his words, and patiently explained: "Mr. Dong! Having surgery does not mean that the condition will not be metastasized, of course, this is just our current judgment, whether your father's condition is as we judged, further examination is needed, but I personally think that the possibility of extracranial metastasis is very high, and your patient's family should be prepared." ”

Although Chen Tianlin said that he needed to undergo relevant examinations before the diagnosis could be confirmed, Mr. Dong believed that since Chen Tianlin had made a diagnosis, the probability of extracranial metastasis must be very high, so he couldn't help but ask: "Professor Chen! If it is really confirmed that my father's condition has metastasized, how long will my father have left?"

Chen Tianlin heard the patient's family's inquiry, thought of the patient's condition, and replied with a stern face: "Mr. Dong, the extracranial metastasis of brain tumors is a very rare metastasis in the disease of brain tumors, because most intracranial tumors require a higher growth environment and conditions, and after being transferred to the outside of the brain, they are often unable to adapt to the environment, and usually lie dormant for a long time before the disease. ”

"Once the disease breaks out, the patient's life immediately enters the countdown, usually not more than three months, from my preliminary diagnosis, if your father's condition is determined to metastasize, it is also during the incubation period, as long as you actively cooperate with the treatment, I dare not say that it will be extended by ten years, but there is absolutely no problem with extending the life for five years. ”

Mr. Dong originally heard Chen Tianlin mention the sentence "It will not be more than three months!", and immediately felt as if the sky was about to fall, but then he heard Chen Tianlin say that he was about to cooperate with the treatment and be able to extend his life for at least five years, which made him secretly relieved and gratefully assured: "Professor Chen, please rest assured, we will actively cooperate with the treatment!"

Hearing Mr. Dong's assurance, Chen Tianlin pondered for a while, and then instructed Mr. Dong: "Mr. Dong, I will ask the responsible doctor to arrange for your father to go for a check-up, and after confirming your father's condition, we will arrange for your father to be treated according to your father's condition." ”

At this time, Mr. Dong was undoubtedly very lucky, glad that he had brought his father to Jiangcheng in time to seek medical treatment, otherwise once his father's illness broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable, he heard Chen Tianlin's words, and hurriedly said gratefully: "Professor Chen! Thank you! My father will ask you!"

When Chen Tianlin heard the words of the patient's family, he replied with a smile: "Mr. Dong! It is the duty of our doctors to save lives and help the wounded, and since you have chosen to come to Jiangcheng to seek treatment from me, I will naturally do my best to alleviate the patient's pain and do my best to help the patient prolong his life." ”
