Yang Xi then smiled bitterly: "Our oncology surgery department has only been established for three days, and more than half of the 30 beds are empty.

The two of them looked dazed, yes, we have all seen that there are less than 10 patients in the entire department, why are you unwilling to operate on our mother?

Yang Xi sighed lightly, picked up the CT film, pointed to the lesion, and explained to the two mouths: "You see, your mother's lesion is here, a lonely and small lump, and the rest is quite clean, for me, the operation is not very difficult." However, surgery was not the best option for her elderly family. ”

How?

The two of them were still at a loss, but there was a little more expectation in their expressions.

"The tumor is not big, that is, 3 times 3, but the part where it grows is very annoying, you see, this is called the hilum of the lungs, what is the hilum of the lungs? Literally, the door of one side of the lung, if the door leaks, the lung here will not be retained. And your mother's tumor lesion happens to grow in the lower part of the main bronchus, and if you want to cut it clean, the stool on this side of the lung cannot be saved, and if you want to save the lung, then it can only be palliative resection. If you want to choose unilateral total lung resection, the elderly are at this age, and whether they can withstand the blow of surgery is not to mention for the time being, just say that it can be done or not, I don't think surgery should be chosen. ”

It was impossible for the two of them to fully understand, but they still roughly understood the meaning of Yang Xi's words.

The old man said, "Doctor Yang, what do you think my mother should do?"

Yang Xi responded: "My opinion is to choose Gamma Knife for treatment......"

The woman couldn't help but ask, "Gamma knife, isn't that still surgery?"

Yang Xi couldn't help but smile and explained: "The reason why the gamma knife is called a knife is just a figurative title, which is intended to express its accuracy like a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon. In fact, Gamma Knife is nothing more than a precision radiotherapy device. ”

The old man was a little disappointed and said, "That's still radiotherapy!" Dr. Yang, I've heard people say that radiotherapy doesn't have a big effect, but the side effects are not small......

The woman glanced at her husband and scolded, "You don't understand! What are you talking about there? Can't you let Dr. Yang finish his words?"

Yang Xi smiled and continued: "The radiotherapy you have heard refers to the traditional ordinary radiotherapy, when the radiation is irradiated to the tumor lesion, the sunlight mode is adopted, at most it is irradiated from a few more angles, this method is not suitable for killing the visible tumor lesions, so it will give the people the impression that the treatment effect is not big but the side effects are not small." ”

The old man gave his wife a glance back, how about it, your husband is not wrong, even Dr. Yang admitted my point of view, and said that I was talking nonsense!?

"The mode of using rays with the gamma knife is completely different from ordinary radiotherapy, have you ever played with a magnifying glass? Under the sun, if you focus the sunlight with a magnifying glass, you can burn the paper, how high do you think the temperature of the focal point is?" Yang Xi gestured with his hand to make a magnifying glass, put a piece of paper on the table, and then inserted his other hand between the so-called magnifying glass and the paper, and continued: "The temperature of the focus is very high, and a big blister will definitely be burned when you put your hand on it, but what about in the middle? Will there be a problem with your hand here?"

Both shook their heads and said there was no problem.

Yang Xi continued: "The gamma knife uses the principle of ray focusing, positioning the focus of ray focus on the tumor lesion, one point is not enough, then two points, two points are not enough, then multiple points, in short, the entire lesion should be burned." But the normal tissues of the human body are between the focus and the 'magnifying glass', so the damage is minimal. In this way, it can not only kill the tumor lesions, but also effectively protect the normal tissues. ”

The old man couldn't help but interject again, but the woman pointed at him with her hand and shouted, "Shut up, just listen!" Then, he smiled apologetically at Yang Xi and said, "Doctor Yang, leave him alone, you continue." ”

Yang Xi responded with a smile and continued: "For your old mother, choosing gamma knife treatment can basically achieve the effect of surgery, and can avoid the pain of that knife, which is obviously a treatment plan that far outweighs the disadvantages." ”

The woman nodded in response, "I understand, Dr. Yang, thank you, but I still have a question for you." ”

Yang Xi said: "You say." ”

The woman smiled embarrassedly and said, "Do we have Gamma Knife in our hospital?"

Yang Xi shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully: "I'm sorry, the state is particularly rigid in the management of this kind of large-scale medical equipment, Jiangbei has also introduced Gamma Knife to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiang Medical College and the General Hospital of Mines, and the equipment of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiang Medical College is very old, not as advanced as the General Hospital of Mines, so I recommend you to go to the Gamma Knife Treatment Center of the General Hospital of Mines." ”

The woman said, "Is Dr. Yang familiar with them? Well, my cousin has just graduated, and he is not familiar with the doctors in other hospitals." ”

Although it is a fallacy to see a doctor and find an acquaintance, individuals cannot shake the trend and have to adapt. The woman's meaning was obvious, but although Yang Xi had been interning at the General Mine Hospital for a year, he didn't know the doctors at the Gamma Knife Treatment Center.

"I don't know them well...... In this way, you go to the orthopedic department of the General Hospital of Mines to find Dr. Wang Mingxing Wang, I will tell you his phone, you will say that you are my acquaintance of Yang Xi, and let him arrange for you to go to the doctor of Gamma Knife. ”

The two got Wang Mingxing's phone, thanked them a lot, and left the office.

I don't know when there was another young man in the office, and after the two left, the young man immediately came to Yang Xi.

"Dr. Yang, do you think my dad should also have gamma knife? My dad is not yet 50 years old this year, and he also has lung cancer. ”

Yang Xi couldn't control the onset of smoking, so he lit a cigarette at the risk of disapproval, and when he saw the young man empty-handed, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "You came to me empty-handed to see a doctor like this?"

Light a cigarette first, then complain about being empty-handed......

The young man understood Yang Xi's hint in seconds, and hurriedly said, "Doctor Yang, wait a minute, I'll buy you cigarettes." ”

Yang Xi couldn't help laughing and grabbed the young man.

"What do you think? I mean to ask if you brought your father's examination with me. ”

The young man touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said, "My father is still in his hometown, and I work alone in Jiangbei, so I only have some photos of the inspection report here." As he spoke, the young man pulled out his phone.

"Let's take a look. Yang Xi took the mobile phone, looked through some laboratory examination reports, and finally stopped the mobile phone picture on the CT film. "It's not clear! This image is blurry when it is slightly enlarged, so it is difficult for me to judge. ”
