When Ji Rong rushed to Dean Wen's office, Lin Xi's eyes were red, she was obviously young, as if she had aged ten years in an instant, and her sadness was moving.

She said: "Professor Ji, I beg you, you must cure Wen Nan, he is only five years old, he is only five years old, ...... just one sentence, tears broke down, and he couldn't cry anymore when he said it.

Ji Rong comforted: "I have read his physical examination report, it is an early-stage tumor, and it is in the right location and can be removed." However, with his physique, the possibility of recurrence in the future cannot be ruled out, and the recurrence rate of this glioma is very high. ”

Lin Xi asked: "Now that medicine is so advanced, isn't cancer curable?" ”

Without waiting for Ji Rong to answer this question, Wen Zhong said: "The reason why most cancers can be cured now is not because the cancer has been overcome, but thanks to advanced diagnostic technology, it can basically be diagnosed at an early stage. Wen Zhong turned to Ji Rong, and his voice became gentle, "Then Wen Nan will ask Professor Ji." ”

Ji Rong said: "I still let the attending physician perform the operation, this kind of operation is not very difficult, and Doctor Wang is completely competent." However, surgical resection treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and is combined with radiotherapy and targeted drugs. ”

Wen Zhongdao: "Although the effect of targeted drugs is obvious, drug resistance will develop in about half a year. ”

"So the most fundamental solution is to wake up the immune system. This is also the direction I am currently researching, and I hope to make some breakthroughs in the short term. ”

In fact, when Yun Qing fell ill, Ji Rong had already realized that the reason why Yun Qing died in a short period of time was because her immune system was completely broken, and the only way to save her was to reawaken her immunity. Therefore, after Yun Qing left, he has been obsessed with this research.

Hearing Ji Rong say this, Wen Zhong ignited a glimmer of hope: "Then do as you say, I'll arrange it immediately." ”

Wang Kui learned that he was in charge of Wennan's operation, and he had always been confident, but he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, after all, he was the dean's son, and there would be some psychological pressure.

The surgery a week later was a great success, and drug chips were placed in Wennan's brain, which slowly decompose and melt over a few weeks, and the released drugs can go directly to the tumor area, killing the tumor cells that have not been removed cleanly, and slowing the progression of the disease.

After Wen Nan woke up, he saw Lin Xi accompanying him at the head of the bed, and smiled hard.

Lin Xi asked softly, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

Looking at his mother's haggard face, Wen Nan replied in a low voice, "It's not uncomfortable." ”

"That's good." Lin Xi said in his mouth, looking at his well-behaved son on the hospital bed, but he couldn't help but want to shed tears, afraid that Wen Nan would be sad, so he hurriedly said, "Mom, go out for a while." The moment he got up, tears slipped into the air, and he walked a few steps outside the door, covering his mouth and crying silently.

How much she wished that she was sick, looking at Wen Nan who was obviously uncomfortable, but forced to smile, she was really worse than death.

After Lin Xi went out, Wen Nan's tears slipped out of the corners of his eyes, and he raised his fleshy little hand and wiped his eyes with his fingers.

Wang Kui, who was standing at the head of the bed, hurriedly squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Uncle, I'm in so much pain, but don't tell my mother, she'll be sad." He couldn't stop his tears, and his little fingers kept wiping.

Wang Kui was moved and comforted him: "I won't tell my mother, you bear with it, and you will get better soon." ”

"Hmm." Wen Nan responded obediently.

In the real room, Yun Shu calmly analyzed: "The difficulty of malignant tumors is that they are genetically heterogeneous, and when cells divide, they will produce new mutations, and they can evade the recognition of the immune system. Yun Shu thought for a while and said to Ji Rong, "Many years ago, there was an immunotherapy in the West, which was also the same idea, but it was not successful. ”

Ji Rong said: "At that time, the treatment was mainly to use a kind of immune cell in the patient's body and isolate it in vitro

After culture, it has the ability to kill cancer cells, and then infuses back into the patient's body to kill those tumor cells that are invisible to the naked eye, so as to prevent the recurrence and metastasis of the tumor, which can delay the survival time in a certain course, but does not fundamentally solve the problem. ”

Yun Shuran: "This method is very similar to the current drug chip, but with the reproduction and mutation rate of malignant tumors, it is indeed impossible to cure it." ”

"So there are two main points that need to be addressed now, which is to limit cancer cells from infecting normal cells, and to allow the immune system to recognise cancer cells."

Zhang Yue listened to them while making notes, and when he heard this, he looked up and asked Ji Rong: "You have been genetically modified before, aren't you ready to locate and destroy cancer cells?" ”

"With today's technology, there are many ways to locate and destroy cancer cells. However, the function of the immune system is to recognize invaders that are different from their own cells, and cancer cells are mutations of their own cells, and the difference from their own cells is so small that they can bypass the immune system to recognize them. As long as this problem is not addressed, cancer can never be cured. ”

"Professor Ji." A voice suddenly interjected from outside the door.

Lin Xi stood outside the door and looked at Ji Rong with some trepidation.

"What's the matter?" Ji Rong invited her in.

Lin Xi didn't move, only said, "There is something I want to ask you." She paused, as if in order to accumulate strength, it took a long time before she dared to look directly at Ji Rong, "How long does Wen Nan have to live?" ”

"If there is no new treatment, two to three years." Ji Rong replied.

Lin Xi was obviously mentally prepared, his face was calm, and he asked: "Now that even human-like machines can be built, why can't cancer be cured?" ”

Ji Rong replied: "More than 100 years ago, the average survival time from the discovery to death of a brain tumor was 28 weeks, and now it is 108 weeks, and the survival time has been extended by 285%. Medicine is not without development, but it is completely incomparable to the speed of development of science and technology. There will be disease, and no matter what course medicine develops, disease will always be inextricable. What's more, human beings are evolving, diseases are also evolving, and cancer is no longer the cancer of a hundred years ago. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi couldn't help covering his mouth. Ji Rong wanted to comfort him, but Lin Xi waved his hand and said in a weak voice, "Thank you, I'll go see Wen Nan." ”

The slightly rickety back looks helpless and sad.

Zhang Yue also felt something in his heart when he heard this, and whispered to Yun Shu: "Indeed, for people's needs, medicine will never be able to keep up, and diseases will."

When Ji Rong heard her emotion, he couldn't help but smile: "If you want to achieve eternal life, what's so difficult?" ”
