"Bang!" "Bang!"
"Hurry up, get out of the way!"
"All personnel in place!"
"Ward 1 is fully ready!"
"Be careful, don't get in the way!"
The medical staff in blue hurriedly pushed the mobile bed into the special ward of the laboratory, and cooperated with the researcher in white to carry out routine examinations and targeted deployments, and the hurried people pushed over the stretcher bed, slamming the two isolation doors into a fluffy sound.
Outside the wall, in front of the isolation glass of the special ward, Lisa Marcos almost threw herself into Li Jie's arms, crying in a slightly choked voice: "Auntie, she's in a terrible condition, Bruce ......"
"It's okay, it's okay...... There won't be a problem with me. Li Jie's kind words calmed her for a while, and finally calmed down the poor girl. I haven't seen her for a while, she has obviously lost a lot of weight, and her expression is a little haggard, but she still has a bright and beautiful face, but she has a different style.
He then hugged Ursula and Flor separately and comforted them for a while.
"Maria's spirits are getting worse these days, she's going to be fine, is she? Is it a little late to deliver, will it have an impact on the treatment?! Ursula was very worried, despite the best medical staff and special plane escort, Maria, who was like a candle in the wind, could not withstand the long journey, and was almost in a semi-coma when she was sent to the laboratory. It's no wonder they're restless and worried.
"Honey, it's okay, have some confidence in Bruce, his lab is great!" Flower gently took his wife into his arms and kissed her forehead. Among the three, he is undoubtedly the one who has the most confidence in Li Jie, as the first person to become the object of bloodline parasitism, Flower's demonic physique has transformed very quickly, and it is almost no different from ordinary demons.
"This set of treatment methods in our laboratory is relatively mature and can enter the clinical stage. Although there is no complete cure, it can definitely improve Aunt Maria's condition a lot. Li Jie held Lisa's palm as he comforted them as he explained to them. This is a great breakthrough that involves a lot of technology and follow-up research, and we hope to wait until the appropriate time to make it public, so it will not be in the clinical treatment process and will not be open to the outside world. With the exception of Mary, of course. But I also want you to keep it confidential. ”
Ursula nodded a little incomprehensibly, and threw a grateful look at Li Jie, and Lisa Marcos kissed him on the cheek with emotion, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Bruce, can you explain to us what kind of treatment plan it is?" ”
"Of course, if you have patience." Looking at her and Ursula's expectant looks, Li Jie smiled lightly and gently pulled her long scattered hair back to her head. "Because in order to explain the treatment we take, we must first understand the pathogenesis of cancer."
What is Cancer? In medicine, carcinoma refers to a malignant tumor that originates in epithelial tissue and is the most common type of malignant tumor. Correspondingly, malignant tumors originating from mesenchymal tissues are collectively referred to as sarcomas. Although there are a few malignant tumors that are not named according to the above principles, such as Wilms tumor, malignant teratoma, etc., in a general sense, people refer to "cancer" in general, and it is customary to refer to all malignant tumors.
A hundred years ago, at the beginning of the 20th century, Francis Peyton Rous discovered the first tumor virus, and later generations named him after him in honor, commonly known as Rous sarcoma virus. Since then, human beings have begun to study the relationship between tumors and viruses, and until today, modern scientific methods have been used to study tumors for more than 100 years.
Tumors destroy the human body in a unique and terrible way, it is a part of the human body, but blindly multiply, spread, and erode itself, and cannot coexist harmoniously with the rest of the body. As Peyton Rouse said in his speech when he won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in December 1966, "The_challenge_to_man_of_the_neoplastic_cell. ("New Biological Cells Challenge Humanity.") ”)
"Oh my God! So cancer cells are grown from normal cells in our body? Isn't that completely unavoidable?! Lisa covered her mouth in horror, looking very scared, so many elite scientists have been studying for many years, and there is still nothing they can do with this small new cell, it is simply a nightmare.
"Yes, dear. But don't be afraid, although it seems that humanity has spent more than a hundred years, and there is nothing to be done with this hateful little creature, but now it is different, isn't there still us? We have begun to find a way to deal with it. Li Jie said with a smile, and at the same time, his eyes met in perfect harmony with Flor's eyes - this is not the way humans have found, lovely Lisa.
"Our body itself is a collection of cells that are constantly renewing themselves through self-division. Adults like you and me. He gestured at Ursula and Lisa, then continued. About 25 million cells in our body divide every second, and blood cells are constantly being updated at a rate of about 100 million per minute. When affected by some physical, chemical, biological or mental factors, normal cells will change and may form cancer cells. ”
"A cancer cell can multiply to 100 million to 1 billion cancer cells in about 5 or 6 years, and 1 billion cancer cells weigh about 1 gram. That's when our imaging and pathology can be discovered. Clinically, the diagnosis is intermediate. In order not to irritate Lisa and Ursula's fragile minds, Li Jie deliberately only talked about the situation in the middle stage. He didn't tell them that 1 billion cancer cells could grow to about 1 kilogram in less than a year, or even a few months, and a huge cancer mass formed. This is the clinically advanced stage of cancer, such as the now dying Maria.
However, Lisa Marcos and Ursula Marcos apparently did not notice this, they had already listened attentively, and even Flor, who had turned into a demonic body, seemed particularly attentive, and those doctors who paid expensive fees would not be so kind to explain the mechanism and development of cancer to the patient's family in an easy-to-understand way.
"And then, Bruce, and then?" Ursula asked eagerly, her face a little pale.
