Li Jie turned his head to look at the special ward behind the glass, where the medical team and the targeted research team were methodically testing Maria's various data, comparing it with her family medical history, personal medical records and real-time status, and studying specific treatment options and reagent ratios, which were estimated to take some time. So he continued, while extending his left hand and flexing his thumb to reveal the four fingers: "In general, there are four difficulties that hinder the treatment of cancer cells. ”

"First, the differences in cancer cells. If it is compared to a war, when the cancer is detected, there are about 1 billion cancer cells in the patient's body, and if each cell is an enemy soldier, are these soldiers exactly the same? Obviously not, some of them are armed with knives, some are armed with guns, some are driving tanks, some are driving fighter jets, and even there are hidden troops and special operations, so that when the troops we encircle and suppress, that is, the drugs, enter the body, there are always some of them that cannot be attacked, it is difficult to destroy them all, and they become fish that slip through the net. In time, these survivors can quickly multiply and break up into large armies. ”

"Second, the metastasis of cancer cells. If the first problem is the first problem alone, the easiest way is to directly remove the entire cancerous tissue. Unfortunately, this is only a temporary solution, because the cancer army is very mobile, it will move everywhere, and they are very cunning, and they will send small units to transfer, just like the reconnaissance force, which cannot be monitored at all. Often, more than a dozen of these lesions can be found in a single patient, and each one is different. ”

"Third, cell mutations. In the process of division, the cell produces new mutations. The small units sent out by the cancer army will continue to split in new positions, and in the process of this division, new classes will continue to mutate. This has led to the emergence of more different types of troops in different locations of the human body. ”

"Finally, there are the differences between individuals. Two people who also have stomach cancer may have completely different class compositions for stomach cancer. This results in the same drug that may be effective for A and completely useless for B. ”

After listening to Li Jie's words about these four difficulties, Lisa and Ursula's brains were completely insufficient, and they became more frightened. No matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't think of any good way to deal with this hidden, cunning, stubborn and unpredictable cancer cell, so they could only set their hopes on Li Jie.

Lisa Marcos hung almost half of her body on Li Jie, massaging him despite the softness of her chest, shaking his arm and pleading in an eager voice: "Hurry up, Bruce, tell us!" What did you, a great genius, find to cope? ”

Li Jie shook his head helplessly and pinched her pretty face dotingly: "First of all, I want to explain that this idea is not the first thing we have thought of, as a rigorous scientific research worker, we cannot erase the contributions of our predecessors." But when it comes to the biggest breakthrough, I believe we can still count it. ”

He pointed to the special ward behind the glass, where the staff had just synthesized a light blue reagent and injected it into Maria's body through a needle gun, the whole process seemed very simple, efficient, and a little unremarkable. For those who don't know the inside story, it's hard to see what kind of cross-era technology is behind this.

"This is our latest anticancer (AC)-I anti-cancer reagent, its original formula is fixed, and researchers and medical teams need to make specific observations of cancer cells and tissues in the patient's body, and then make targeted adjustments to form the final receptor reagent. The basic principle of this reagent is to activate a "braking system" in a targeted manner, so that the cancer cells in the patient's body slow down or even stop cell division, bringing the cells back to the quiescent phase. Li Jie explained, pointing to the needle gun operated by the researchers.

In fact, the idea of controlling cancer by slowing down the rate of cell division has been around for a long time, and many people have tried it at the genetic level through a variety of means, including electric field therapy, but the results have not been significant because they have not been able to target the cancer cells well for directional deceleration. The reagents that Li Jie provided to the laboratory based on the demonic elixir Tardai can slow down or even quiesce all cell-level activities at the complete level, and the only thing they need to do is make modifications to specific cancer cell populations, which is much simpler. It is no exaggeration to say that the gap between the two is not a long time.

"But it only controls the cancer cells, it doesn't destroy them, does it?" Lisa Marcos understood this time, and her face changed, and she couldn't hide her disappointment. People are always like this, they want to ask for more when they are relieved, and they want to solve the problems they face immediately once and for all.

"This is already a very big breakthrough, and I can guarantee that this treatment is painless and will ensure that Maria does not deteriorate for a long time. Our team is amazing, and they will be able to concoct the most suitable AC reagent and immunity-boosting agent for Maria during this time, and she will hopefully be completely well by then. Li Jie was unimpressed by her loss and continued to patiently give an explanation.

"Immunity potion?" Ursula, who had been staring at the ward, turned her head a little puzzled when she heard this, and subconsciously asked.

"Oh! I see, you're a genius, Bruce! After all, Lisa is a top student at New York University, and she quickly figured out the principle, and excitedly hugged Li Jie and kissed him repeatedly.

"Hey! You kid, who can explain it to me! Ursula shouted half-jokingly, half-earnestly, knowing that her sister had hopefully got better, and that she was obviously in a much better mood, though she didn't quite understand.

"Mom, have you forgotten what Aunt Mary's attending physician, Mr. Sullivan, said? The body's immune system is the best anti-cancer drug! Lisa was happy like a child, swaying her light steps and turning in a circle, pulling Ursula to take the initiative to help Li Jie explain.

In the long-term evolutionary process, in order to resist the invasion of the outside world, the human body has evolved a set of defensive weapons: some special enzymes and proteins. If microbes and toxins break through the body's outer defenses, these immune system members work together to attack the illegal invaders – destroying the microbes' cell walls, driving the chemical toxins out of the human body, or simply engulfing and digesting them. After the invader is completely eliminated, the immune system begins to repair the damaged cells. And if certain cells are too badly injured, the immune system chooses to destroy them.

According to a recent study by the American Cancer Society, about 10% of cancer patients will recover spontaneously without any treatment or with little treatment, and the cancer rarely recurs once it resolves naturally. After a long-term study of 176 cancer patients who had regressed spontaneously, the National Cancer Society was surprised to find that only 10 of these patients had relapsed and 2 had metastasis.

So, why does self-healing occur?

It is because the immune system, the body's own natural barrier, plays a role in maintaining the body's physiological balance and stability of immune protection, such as anti-tumor. In these cases, the harmony of the body's immune system is the main reason for the natural regression of the cancer.

The traditional three major methods of cancer treatment are surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The development of these three methods has indeed benefited cancer patients a lot, but its defect of "killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting 800" is also obvious, and when the tumor lesions are removed or poisoned, the normal tissues of the human body are also greatly damaged. When too many toxic substances accumulate in the body due to long-term chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the defense ability of the immune system will be greatly reduced or even completely collapsed. In the end, a small infection or complication is enough to kill a cancer patient, and Maria is clearly in such a dangerous situation.
