Chapter 1053: 【1053】The data she revealed is quite astonishing
Regarding this technology, her interest stemd from a ti when a colleague’s family mber sought related treatnt at a provincial hospital.
Now that she has spoken out, the seniors should have no more doubts.
Looking up, Xie Wanying saw everyone staring at her with wide eyes: What?
“Four or five years? Xie Wanying, do you understand what this number ans?” He Guangyou, who had been joking with her earlier, couldn’t help but frown.
For cancer patients, five years is an important indicator of survival; even ordinary people know that surviving five years is tantamount to being “cured” of cancer.
“Teacher He. This five years is not that five years,” Xie Wanying said.
“What’s not?”
“You’re talking about the five years after Radical Surgery, right? That indeed is an important indicator for cancer patients. If there is no recurrence or tastasis of the tumor within five years after Radical Surgery, the chances of recurrence and tastasis afterward are greatly reduced, and it can optimistically be seen as a cure for cancer. But the five years I’m talking about pertains to palliative treatnt, not Radical Surgery. How can you compare these two ‘five years’? Palliative treatnt simply doesn’t involve talk of a cure.” Xie Wanying seriously prepared to clarify and debate academically with the seniors.
“But you must know, many patients don’t survive five years after Radical Surgery. If there’s a new option, they might not necessarily choose Radical Surgery,” argued Gong Xiangbin and others.
“Teacher Gong, patients and their families will always prefer Radical Surgery unless surgery is truly not an option, as everyone wants to live longer. Therefore, this technology targets a smaller market segnt.” Additionally, regarding the four or five years she ntioned, “Teachers, you can’t view the data like that. The four or five years I ntioned refers to the longest span patients could live, which can’t be compared to the decades-long survival after Radical Surgery.”
What Xie Wanying didn’t understand was that, as far as she knew, Guoxie’s Hepatobiliary Surgery departnt had always looked down on this technology since it had low benefits and a small audience. As she ntioned, even if there’s a slim chance of living longer, patients and their families would plead with doctors for surgery and not opt for therapeutic palliation. She brought this up with Professor Hao because the latter focused on this technology, unlike Guoxie.
Every doctor pursues research based on interest; without interest, nothing cos of it.
She silenced the group with her rebuttals.
Soone on the side couldn’t stop laughing.
Qiu Ruiyun, annoyed, turned to the snickering Song Xueling and said, “If you have an opinion, speak up.”
Prompted to speak, Song Xueling began, his voice as flat as if narrating a bedti story, “My family has a cat that can help dig for treasure in our house. One day, I took it to the neighbor’s house, who usually has no emotional connection to us and certainly aren’t friends or foes. In front of , the cat seed to see treasure in their house and dug it up instinctively, even though I have no interest in their treasure. What do you think I felt?”
The story was simple and clear. The seniors understood, and so did Xie Wanying.
“Are you trying to mock us with that story?” Qiu Ruiyun stood with hands on hips, neither angry nor crying, her facial muscles tensed into a knot.
Song Xueling remained calm and peaceful: “Well, wasn’t that story the truth?”
