"Dr. Zhao, the current focus of treatment in the ward is on two patients who need to be treated with stem cells, right?"

Liu Meng asked again.

She also wants to enter the work state quickly, because she knows that if she joins Zhao Heng's ward, she will not be an ordinary inpatient hospital, but in the treatment of incurable diseases, it can be said that now Zhao Heng's ward has almost become the strength of Dongfang Hospital.

If it is said that occasionally a patient with an incurable disease is cured, it can be said to be a stroke of luck, but so far, the patients that Zhao Heng has taken over can be said to be the best under modern medical conditions.

It can be said that any other doctor cannot do better than Zhao Heng.

As for what Zhao Heng can't do, that is, it is limited to the current level of medical technology.

"Yes, one is a need to transplant neural stem cells to induce awakening, and the other is verrucous epidermal dysplasia, which requires reconstruction of the entire cortex and transplantation of epithelial stem cells after surgery."

Zhao Heng nodded and explained, Zhao Heng was still very satisfied with Liu Meng's entry into a state of serious work so quickly, so there are still quite a few capable people, but it is just that some people do not have a platform.

The saying that gold shines is not so applicable at times in this day and age.

In modern times, the acquisition of knowledge is relatively easy, and the education received from childhood is similar to that of everyone, so although there will be a gap in the level of the same colleges and majors, it will not be said to be so big that it is unattainable.

As far as Zhao Heng's clinical medicine is concerned, in fact, when he graduated, except for a few people who had a lot of courses, the level of others was actually about the same, and how to develop in the future depends more on the platform.

At the beginning, entering a community hospital is completely different from entering a tertiary hospital, and the development after ten years is definitely completely different.

Don't say ten years, just three years, because of the different platforms, there will be a big gap between each other.

That's where the platform comes in.

"The treatment of these two patients with transplanted stem cells is also a revolution."

Liu Meng said with admiration.

To be honest, the current generation of young doctors has almost no innovation in contemporary technology, and the most important reason for this is just one word, busy!

It's not just busy, it's too busy, here, just a simple number, readers can understand that the latest data, in 2022, the daily outpatient volume of tertiary hospitals has reached a maximum of 42,000, which is an astonishing number.

This outpatient volume can be said to be three to five times that of equivalent hospitals abroad, or even ten times that of a few countries with small populations.

In front of such an extremely large number of outpatient visits, doctors are basically overwhelmed by the large number of patients, and it takes all the energy and time to deal with these large number of patients every day, let alone any innovation and research.

"Today's medical care, in particular, needs to be innovative. It can be said that some aspects of modern hospitals have gone into a misunderstanding. In terms of cancer treatment, it is actually a misunderstanding. ”

"To put it simply, there are as many as 3.5 million cancer patients in China every year, and the incidence of cancer is also increasing year by year, with aging, the number of diagnosed patients will further increase, but the cure rate is only 25%. The biggest reason for this is the sooner or later problem of finding the lesion. ”

Zhao Heng said with a sigh that as a doctor, the most unavoidable problem is the cancer of the "king of diseases".

"Yes, I have an aunt who is also a nurse, but she always says that if she has cancer, she would rather not be treated. The concept of professional medical staff is still like this, which shows that in China, most cancer patients who seek medical treatment are already in the advanced stage when they find a doctor. ”

"For patients with advanced cancer, repeated invasive treatments have brought great physical and mental overdraft to the patient, but they cannot eradicate the cancer cells, which inevitably makes people feel that they have suffered in vain, not only spending money, but also wasting the precious time of their last life."

Speaking of cancer, Liu Meng also said with great feelings.

"In fact, there is an ultimate treatment for cancer, but in recent years, the reputation of this method has been tarnished by some people."

Zhao Heng sighed and said.

"Dr. Zhao is talking about immunotherapy?"

Liu Meng asked.

"Yes, immunotherapy is the ultimate treatment for cancer treatment, because immunotherapy can mobilize one's own immune cells to identify and attack cancer cells, and this therapy perfectly avoids the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. But such a good treatment, the current effective rate is only 10% to 20%, the most regrettable is that there are many scammers, taking advantage of the patient's desire to survive, taking some literature out of context, and exaggerating the propaganda with false test results to attract patients to pay. ”

"The Wei Moumou incident back then was a scammer who used the guise of immunotherapy to make both people and money."

Zhao Heng said slowly.

"Dr. Zhao said that we are going to develop immunotherapy in the future?"

Hearing the song and knowing the elegance, when Zhao Heng said this, it was easy for Liu Meng to think that Zhao Heng was going to touch cancer, the biggest bone and the highest mountain in the medical world, in the future.

"The combination of stem cell cultivation and cell fate regulation can well cultivate engineered immune cells, which still has great prospects in the treatment of cancer."

Zhao Heng nodded, as a doctor, cancer is a topic that cannot be avoided.

"If you can really develop an immunotherapy with a clinical success rate of more than 60%, Dr. Zhao, then you can directly win the Nobel Prize in Medicine."

Hearing Zhao Heng say this, Liu Meng couldn't help but smile and said.

If other people said this, she would still think that she was just talking about a dream, but Zhao Heng said it, especially after he cured Sun Xinxin, this was very convincing.

Moreover, now everyone knows that Zhao Heng's technology in stem cell therapy is directly under the tutelage of Professor Li Hongwei of the School of Life Sciences of Yenching University.

"It's very difficult, the success rate of immunotherapy now, even at the Mayo Clinic, which has the most in-depth research on immunotherapy, is only 20%, and it is too difficult to increase it all at once, and it has almost crossed several generations of treatment technology."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly and said.

Although it is said that things are man-made, even if the cure rate of a certain treatment method is increased by one percentage point in clinical practice, it is a remarkable achievement, let alone from 20% to 60%.

"It's man-made, and I believe Dr. Zhao can do it one day."

Liu Meng smiled and said, I don't know why, although it sounds like a fantasy, she has such confidence in Zhao Heng.
