In the office, there were only two people, Chen Qi and Shen Lifen.

Chen Qi was not in a hurry, giving Shen Lifen time to think, this was a difficult conclusion for this mother to accept.

Her son's cancer was enough to make her desperate, but after a long time, it turned out that it was possible that she got cancer herself first, and then infected her son?

Everyone is afraid of death, and they have a strong desire to survive in the face of death, and Shen Lifen is no exception, so she forgot to cry and began to rack her brains and start thinking and thinking, from head to toe.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Lifen thought that the most uncomfortable part of his body was the "lower body", but in the face of a male doctor, this was an unspeakable topic.

She glanced at Chen Qi secretly, and then comforted herself, the young man in front of her was a doctor, an international double director, a dean, and a professional doctor, and he would not have any dirty ideas.

Only then did he muster up his courage and said in a weak voice:

"Chen, Dean Chen, I have a place, now think about it, will there be a problem?"

"What?"

"It's that my lower body often bleeds, and my menstrual period is irregular, often prolonged, and the amount of blood is more than before. Also, there is some liquid that often comes out of the lower body, and it smells, well, not very good......"

Shen Lifen's voice became lower and lower, but Chen Qi's brows became tighter and tighter.

Even if he is not an obstetrician and gynecologist, Chen Qi immediately grasped the point:

Long-term irregular and painless bleeding and secretion of foreign bodies in the vaginal passages are generally problems of the female reproductive system, either inflammation or cancer.

When you give birth to a baby, you will go through this channel, and the answer will be obvious.

If Shen Lifen has cancer, the biggest possibility is here, Chen Qi couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly, thinking that he had finally found the "culprit".

Shen Lifen is a teacher, not that rural women are ignorant, seeing Chen Qi's subtle movements and a little excitement on her face, she instantly thought of something.

Tears flowed down her face: "Chen, Dean Chen, am I really ......?"

Chen Qi eased up and smiled reluctantly:

"This is all speculation, since it is speculation, then we have to confirm it, one by one to rule out the past, you now go to the obstetrics and gynecology department with me, let's start with gynecological diseases."

"Good!"

One hour later, Che Xiaoduan, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the First Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Province, quietly pulled Chen Qi aside.

"Xiao Chen, the preliminary examination is not good news, there is a great possibility of cervical cancer."

Even though there was already a guess, but now that he heard the news, Chen Qi was still taken aback, and asked a little unwillingly:

"Director Che, it's a little strange, this patient should have had a prenatal checkup when she was pregnant, right? If it is cervical cancer, how can the prenatal examiner not detect it in advance? ”

Director Che patiently explained:

"Early cervical cancer generally has no obvious symptoms and signs, the cervix looks smooth, and it is difficult to distinguish it from cervical columnar ectopic eclocation, especially in patients with cervical canal cervical cancer, the appearance of the cervix is often normal, and it is very easy to miss or misdiagnose, and it is normal if it is not found."

Chen Qi asked again: "Then what stage do you think the patient is at now?" ”

Director Che gestured a few times and patiently replied:

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's already in the middle and late stages, when I just checked, I found that her cervix was hypertrophied and hard, the cervical canal was distended, ulcers formed on the surface, and she could smell obvious stench, which often exceeded the early range."

"What tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis?"

"I have already done a Pap smear and asked the pathology department to hurry up and do a cytology test, and the results will come back in about 2 hours. I heard that you are working on a project, and you first proposed to check whether your mother has cancer? ”

The old lady seemed to be full of curiosity, after all, this kind of diagnosis that her son had cancer, and she had encountered it for the first time.

Che Xiaoduan is not only the director of the hospital department, she is also a professor at Haidong Medical University, and she is of course very, very interested in this incurable disease.

Chen Qi sighed:

"I proposed it, but I'd rather be wrong, now the baby has just had a lung cancer resection, and I don't know what will happen in the future. In front of me, my mother may have cervical cancer again, and it is a question of whether she can operate or not.

Director Che, do you know? The child's father is a combat hero, and now he is still fighting monkeys in the south, but his wife and son have such an incident, and I, the attending doctor, feel ashamed, how can I explain to the child's father......"

Director Che patted Chen Qi's arm:

"Don't be too stressed, life and death are in the sky, this is not something that our doctors can decide, in this way, let the patient be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible, we will carefully check and check to see if there is a chance of surgery, you can rest assured, I will do my best."

Chen Qi hurriedly folded his hands: "Then thank you, Director Che." ”

Chen Qi came out of the office, Shen Lifen was already waiting in the corridor, she saw Chen Qi come out, and she stopped talking.

"Dean Chen, I'm ......"

"Let's go, let's go back to the ward first."

"Hmmm......"

As soon as they walked to the third ward, the family members immediately gathered around and asked with concern:

The mother-in-law took her daughter-in-law's hand and hurriedly spoke: "Ah Fen, what's wrong?" ”

The father-in-law ran to Chen Qi, "Dean Chen, my daughter-in-law is fine, right?" ”

Chen Qi couldn't say anything: "I'm not sure about the situation yet, wait a little longer, wait for the inspection report to come out." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ward was instantly covered with dark clouds, the family and Shen Lifen were afraid, but they had expectations, this kind of psychology of facing "sentencing" was the most uncomfortable thing in the world.

About an hour later, a little doctor ran over and whispered a few words in Chen Qi's ear.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Qi, especially Shen Lifen, who was clutching the corner of the bedsheet, and his fingers were red.

Chen Qi turned his head and looked at the family in front of him and couldn't bear it, but he had to tell him seriously.

Many times the doctor does not make it clear, and the patient will not cooperate with the treatment.

Generally, doctors will explain it to their families in detail from the patient, but Shen Lifen's in-laws are obviously just ordinary citizens and can't come up with ideas, so he can only tell Shen Lifen himself.

Time can't be delayed, and if you want to save it, you must save it in time.

"You sit down first, the pathology room has just issued a report, as I guessed before, there is indeed cancer in Mr. Shen's body, it is cervical cancer."

Puff~~~

Shen Lifen fainted suddenly, Chen Qi took precautions, hurriedly supported her with a flash step, and then put her on the hospital bed.

The child's grandmother was so frightened that she sat on the ground, and the child's grandfather was even more stunned at the scene and couldn't move.

Then there was a heart-rending cry in the ward, which immediately attracted the doctors and other family members in the ward, and many people gathered around and pointed fingers.

Director Xu also rushed over after hearing the voice.

Others can't enter the ward at will, he can, but he is the director of the department.

Director Xu walked into the ward and saw that the family was crying and fell to the ground, to be honest, he has seen a lot of this kind of scene, although he has emotion in his heart, but this emotion will not be too much.

What instantly came to his mind was the guess that Chen Qi had been making before, could it really come true?

Director Xu looked at Chen Qi and gestured to Shen Lifen on the hospital bed with his eyes.

Chen Qi knew what Director Xu meant, so he nodded slightly.

Director Xu was excited, and the last difficulty of the research group was really overcome, so his face turned red all of a sudden.

But he also knew that he must not show a little excitement or joy at this time, otherwise the beating would be light, so he endured the excitement in his heart and quietly withdrew from the ward.

Coming to the corridor, Director Xu couldn't hold back any longer, and excitedly caught a little doctor:

"Hurry, hurry up and invite all the members of the neonatal cancer research group, and then call President Guo of the Vietnamese People's Hospital and ask him to come to the provincial capital quickly."

The little nurse next to her was chattering, "Director, what's so exciting?" ”

"Haha, of course, one of my research groups may succeed, and I will invite you to eat fruit when I go back."

"Wow, congratulations, Director, then we'll wait."

In the ward, the Han family felt that the sky was about to fall, and there were two cancers in one house, and no one could stand it.

Outside the ward, the doctors and nurses were still happy for the breakthrough progress of the research group, and they were discussing treats.

Therefore, the situation between people is different, grief cannot be shared, do not count on the sympathy of others, let alone expose your weakness at will.

The diagnosis that his mother also had cancer only confirmed Chen Qi's previous speculation.

The main question now is whether there is a link between the mother's cancer and the son's cancer. After all, one is cervical cancer and the other is lung cancer.

From a genetic point of view, cancers with a family history tend to have the same location of disease.

For example, a woman's cervical cancer or breast cancer is obviously hereditary, and three generations of women may have the same type of cancer in the same part of the same place.

For example, Hollywood actresses, starring in "Tomb Raider" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", Angelina Jolie, a sexy girl with a devil's body and sexy lips, removed both breasts and uterine ovaries at the age of 39.

Mind you, this is a brave decision when she's in good health.

A sexy actress cut her grandmother, which is unimaginable in the eyes of ordinary people, after all, she relies on these two grandmothers to eat.

But she can't help it, because her family history includes a genetic history of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

Her mother, her grandmother, and many of her direct female relatives in the family all had this disease, which shows that the women in this family are genetically defective.

Angelina Jolie was told by doctors that she had about an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer and a 50 percent chance of developing ovarian cancer because she had the defective gene.

So she decided to preemptively attack the enemy and minimize the possibility of developing the disease by doing surgery.

After the surgery, Julie's chances of developing breast cancer dropped from 87 percent to 5 percent, not 100 percent, but at least the red alert was lifted.

There's just no way to take the sexy route, so this sexy girl began to take the political line of the white left, which is not so likable.

The purpose of this example is to illustrate that cancer, like other family history diseases, may be inherited, but the genetic parts or organs are the same or similar.

But the situation between Shen Lifen and her child in front of her is completely different, which makes people think about it.

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on "heredity", Chen Qi had a different opinion.

"No, no, no, I don't think Shen Lifen's cancer will be passed on to my son."

As soon as these words fell, a middle-aged doctor in the office couldn't help it:

"Dean Chen, you have clearly said that the child's cancer may come from the mother, and now it has been preliminarily confirmed that your guess is correct, why do you deny this statement now?"

Chen Qi waved his hand: "No, no, no, it's not a denial, but if the cancer cells come from the mother, it is not necessarily genetic, it may also be infected?" ”

Director Xu Jinxing burst out laughing:

"Good guy, do you really insist that cancer is contagious? So far, there is no relevant theory or evidence for this, if we just write it into a paper and publish it, it will not be laughed at by our colleagues all over the world. ”

Hehehe~~~

Everyone in the office chuckled.

Doctors know that the placenta has a barrier effect, and it is difficult for ordinary viruses and bacteria to pass through, let alone cancer cells.

Only Dean Guo didn't know what he was thinking with his eyes open, and he didn't question Chen Qi's statement.

Chen Qi also laughed twice with Hehe, but what should be insisted on is still insisting:

"Is it infectious, now I put forward such a statement, of course, it needs to be confirmed, in this way, I personally went to the book, last time I checked the basic chromosomes, this time it is a big project, I need to do a comprehensive detection and ranking of Shen Lifen and her child's cancer cells."

Director Xu also thought about it when he saw that Chen Qi was talking so seriously.

Genetic testing was still a completely foreign medical concept to Chinese doctors in 1986.

Even in foreign countries, this is actually a newly emerging biological technology, how to apply it to clinical practice, and how much significance it has for clinical practice is unknown.

Human cells have a total of about 3 billion base pairs of DNA, and each person's DNA is not exactly the same, and the number of different base pairs between people is as many as millions, so it is a big project to detect diseases through molecular biology methods.

To put it simply, paternity testing, a well-known genetic test, was not officially promoted until the nineties.

Director Xu roughly understood what Chen Qi meant, but he still had to confirm it again.

"Chen Qi, what is the purpose and significance of you going to do genetic testing for both mother and child?"

"That's right, whether cancer will be transmitted through mother and child, only genetic testing can uncover the mystery, I want to sequence the two tumor genes, if the tumor genes of the mother and child are the same, then we will solve the case." If we don't understand the source of neonatal lung cancer, our topic will be meaningless, what do you think? ”

When it came to such a profound topic as genetics, everyone in the office was silent.
