"Look here, here, there are already a lot of tumor tissues distributed here......," Dr. Li hung a CT picture of the brain on the wall in front of him, and said to Lin Xiao pointingly, "Now the situation is very bad, even if the surgical method is used, there is no place to go under the knife, or if the operation is forced, the patient is estimated to not even be able to get off the operating table." ”

After listening to Dr. Li's introduction, Lin Xiao felt that this matter was a bit complicated.

For Zhang Chenglin, Lin Xiao's perception is average, although Zhang Chenglin is a little capable, but his ability is not outstanding, and he can only be said to be qualified for the position of municipal party secretary.

However, under the premise that such a mediocre person is in power, Zhang Chenglin, a municipal party committee secretary, is relatively competent, and there is no big problem in other aspects, and he does not belong to the kind of cadres with serious illnesses in the discipline inspection commission system.

Especially after realizing Lin Xiao's role and background, Zhang Chenglin no longer has the hostility and suppression of Lin Xiao, it can be regarded as peaceful and happy, but his current illness makes Lin Xiao see that the officialdom of Hexi City may be in turmoil again.

After all, the municipal party committee has a brain tumor and may die within a month, so how can the boss not replace him?

There are definitely not a few people who are staring at the position of the municipal party committee, and there are not a few people who are qualified to occupy this position, and it is impossible for Zhang Chenglin to work with illness in the province, after all, you are not short of cadres now, and there are a lot of reserve cadres behind, and now that you know that the cadres below are sick, how can you let the cadres die of illness at work? That's irresponsible.

"Hey, it looks like Hexi City is in turmoil again." Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Dr. Li next to him looked at Lin Xiao's reaction, and felt that it seemed that Lin Xiao didn't have too much trouble, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, he couldn't figure out what the relationship between Lin Xiao and Zhang Chenglin was all about.

But Lin Xiao is the relationship arranged by Han Ya, this is very clear, who Han Ya is, everyone knows very well in their hearts, that is the daughter of Vice Chairman Han Shengxian, and at the same time the director of the special service, she has a big face, and it is impossible for everyone not to give enough respect.

"What's the best treatment plan now?" Lin Xiao paused for a moment and asked Doctor Li.

"His situation is quite special, even if he uses the best treatment plan, it will not help, to be honest, it is nothing more than to extend the time for a month, but the cost is very high, and the patient's quality of life will be very low, and the whole person will feel very painful." Dr. Li said honestly, "If it is my personal advice, it is better to go home as soon as possible, eat and drink, and finish the funeral, so as not to live in the hospital and miss the last period of life." ”

"Dr. Li's words are from the bottom of my heart." When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said.

Of course, Lin Xiao is relatively clear about the treatment of brain tumors, although his main direction of attack is not in this area, but this does not mean that he is not familiar with this.

"Generally speaking, whether a brain tumor is benign or malignant, it is bound to increase intracranial pressure, compress brain tissue, and cause damage to the central nervous system, which may endanger the patient's life." Dr. Li said, "For benign tumors, the survival rate of patients is higher by complete surgical resection, such as cerebral or cerebellar astrocytoma, sellar craniopharyngioma, ventricular choroid plexoma, etc., which do not require radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and the recurrence rate is low, but CT or MRI reexamination is required regularly, and the residual benign tumors that cannot be completely resected by surgery can be observed according to the situation, or chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and biological therapy can be used."

For malignant brain tumors, such as degenerative astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, meningomyloma, teratoma, etc., which can be completely resected or nearly completely resected, comprehensive treatment with radiotherapy, chemotherapy or biological therapy must be added after surgery to achieve the purpose of controlling tumor growth.

If the patient has headache symptoms caused by brain tumor, it may be caused by the primary disease not being controlled in time, because the treatment of the primary disease is the main thing, it is generally necessary to remove the tumor as soon as possible, as long as the primary lesion is controlled, the patient's headache symptoms can be relieved. ”

Lin Xiao listened to it and agreed, standing in the position of Western medicine, using surgery to deal with brain tumors is undoubtedly the right approach.

In fact, surgical treatment is indeed the most basic and effective treatment for intracranial tumors.

All parts that can be reached by surgery should be completely resected or mostly resected without causing major neurological deficits.

Due to the development of microneurosurgical technology, most of the benign intracranial tumors can be completely resected and the nerve function can be well protected.

Even for malignant tumors, surgical resection of the tumor and other treatments can also obtain good results, partial resection of the tumor to reduce the tumor volume or internal and external decompression, cerebrospinal fluid shunt and other palliative surgeries, can temporarily relieve intracranial hypertension, strive for other treatments, prolong the survival time of patients.

In addition, there is radiotherapy, all kinds of glioma, pituitary adenoma, germ cell tumor, chordoma, craniopharyngioma and some metastatic cancers, which have different degrees of sensitivity to radiation, and can be given radiotherapy after surgical treatment.

Then there is chemotherapy, the chemotherapy of intracranial tumors has systemic administration and local administration, systemic administration includes oral or intravenous injection, local administration includes intrathecal injection, intra-arterial cannulation, super-selection of tumor supply arterial perfusion and intraneurium administration.

The ideal chemotherapy drug should be able to cross the blood-brain barrier smoothly, be non-toxic to the central nervous system, and maintain high concentrations in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid for a long time, but it seems to be difficult to do so.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is also an option, in which hematoporphyrin derivatives (HPDs) treated with acetic acid or sulfuric acid not only cross the blood-brain barrier, but are also easily absorbed by tumor cells.

The accumulation of HPD in tumor cells can be five to twenty times larger than that of normal tissue cells, and the time spent in the cells can be up to 48 hours.

There is also thermal therapy, because tumor cells are more sensitive to heat than normal cells, when the temperature of the tumor area is raised to 42C~43C, tumor cells can be killed, while normal cells can not be affected.

Microwave or radiofrequency current can be used for heating, the temperature is controlled at 43C, and the time is 20~30 minutes.

All in all, there are still many ways to treat brain tumors, and the effect of using them together is also good.

But when it comes to a certain person, it's not easy to say, it's the so-called medicine and medicine don't die, so for a situation like Zhang Chenglin, even Dr. Li of the Military General Hospital feels that there is no need for treatment, which shows that his condition is already serious and is hopeless.

"There's a scorpion venom cure, but you can try it." Dr. Li thought for a while, but still introduced to Lin Xiao, "Scorpion venom therapy is a comprehensive protein agent extracted from the scorpion juice, and the protein molecules extracted from the venom will stick to the glioma cells, but will not harm other cells. At the same time, the combination of this comprehensive protein and radioactive iodine can kill tumor cells without harming the surrounding tissues. ”

"Oh, and that kind of thing?" Lin Xiao hadn't heard of it, and he always felt that this thing sounded a little unreliable, just like the propaganda of an old military doctor.

"In the past, most of the therapies that targeted cancer cells used antibiotics to attack the target cells, but the molecules of antibiotics were too large to pass through normal brain cells to reach the target area to perform the task, and the results could not be achieved or avoided side effects." Dr. Li continued, "Scorpion venom therapy can solve this problem fundamentally, and the scorpion venom ingredients contained in scorpion venom therapy can reduce the pain of patients after medication, and the effect is obvious. Although it may not be able to cure people, it can still play a certain role in relieving pain and improving the quality of life. ”

"Okay, thank you Dr. Li, I'll accompany him back first, and we'll contact you if necessary." After Lin Xiao talked to Dr. Li, he took his leave.

"No problem, this is my personal business card, it has a contact number on it, you can call this at any time." Dr. Li nodded yes, then took a personal business card and handed it to Lin Xiao.

For these expert doctors, the phone number on the official business card is basically used in the unit, while the personal business card is used in a small area, such as the one used between relatives and friends, and can be dialed even during the rest time.

Dr. Li was willing to give his personal business card to Lin Xiao, or for the sake of Han Ya or Han Shengxian's face.

After Lin Xiao walked out of the reception room, he casually threw away this business card, for him, this thing really didn't come in handy.

When he walked out, he saw Zhang Chenglin, the secretary of the municipal party committee, sitting there, taking out a cigarette and holding it, but it was not lit, and it was obvious that he had recovered a little from the blow just now.

After all, a person who is a secretary of the municipal party committee will naturally have a stronger ability to accept various situations.

"Well, it's for nothing." Zhang Chenglin glanced at Lin Xiao and said with a wry smile, "During the last physical examination, no problems were found, but I didn't expect the situation to develop so quickly, and there were problems in my mind. ”

"In fact, although the problem of brain tumor is more serious, it is not completely impossible to cure, but it is a little strange in the process." After Lin Xiao pondered for a while, he finally said to Zhang Chenglin.
