My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1222 - 482: Director Level Medical Collaboration, Dr

Previously, even with a large team working overti for a whole night, only two major surgeries might be completed. Now, that number can be doubled.

This is extrely beneficial for the expansion of Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Zhou Can’s gain tonight is also significant. Since his Incision Skill advanced to Level 6, he has noticed a subtle connection between the Wound Cleaning Skill and Incision Skill when excising tumors or other potentially cancerous tissues.

This connection is quite miraculous.

During lesion excision, he can faintly sense through the Wound Cleaning Skill whether there is residual pathological tissue surrounding the excised area.

For instance, when removing a lymph node, he sensed that a larger blood vessel nearby was affected.

Because this was the first ti experiencing such a feeling, he was montarily doubtful.

With the patient’s responsibility in mind, he used the magnifying glass on his glasses to observe the section of the blood vessel carefully. He then discovered a small, inconspicuous spot. After repeated examination and comparison with cancerous vessels he had excised before, using his surgical experience, he confird it.

Eventually, he identified that this segnt of the blood vessel likely had early-stage cancerous changes.

After excising it, he imdiately contacted the pathology departnt for testing.

Soon, the confirmation ca back that the vessel indeed had cancerous changes.

At that mont, Zhou Can felt particularly excited.

Because if not for his Incision Skill advancing to Level 6 and thus linking with the Wound Cleaning Skill, sensing that the vessel was problematic, even with the world’s most advanced inspection instrunts, it would be hard to detect such early-stage cancerous vessels.

Don’t underestimate such a cancerous vessel; if surgery doesn’t remove it cleanly, recurrence can happen quickly.

Rember, cancer is like a malicious weed.

Even if there is only a segnt of rhizo or a single leaf, it can sprout again and quickly grow into a large patch.

Thus, the skill that Zhou Can possesses now is of great significance.

It ensures that cancerous tissues are thoroughly removed during cancer surgery.

Why do many malignant tumor patients, when checked in hospitals, find themselves at advanced stages with cancer cell tastasis? Doctors will tell the patient that surgery is no longer an option.

This is because, based on the surgical experience of the doctor, surgery after tastasis is not very aningful.

Removing the larger tumor, the smaller ones will soon grow larger.

Aside from causing more pain for the patient and draining the family’s finances, it doesn’t extend the patient’s life significantly.

Rather than facing the inevitable failure, which results in both familial and financial ruin, it’s better for the patient to enjoy good food and drink at ho, spending the final monts of life with family company.

This is actually a kindness from the doctor.

However, sotis family mbers and patients don’t understand and curse the doctor, claiming "You’re a quack; you can’t even perform this surgery. We’ll find an expert doctor who can." before leaving with harsh words.

In such cases, doctors often bear the insults silently.

Exiting the operating room, it was already 11:42 PM, earlier than the expected surgery completion ti.

This was because Zhou Can’s advancent in Incision Skill sped up the surgery considerably.

"Hopefully, the cancerous tissues in this patient’s body have been thoroughly cleaned," Zhou Can could only silently pray.

This patient will definitely need radiotherapy post-surgery to consolidate the surgical outco.

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy remain the two major conventional thods for treating cancer.

Especially chemotherapy, which has beco demonized.

Many people believe chemotherapy is surely fatal, useless, and damages the body. This view is deeply ingrained in the hearts of many ordinary people. As soon as they hear a doctor ntion chemotherapy, they shake their heads vigorously.

It can only be said that everything has two sides.

Benefits coexist with drawbacks.

The fundantal idea of chemotherapy is to kill cancer cells with chemical agents to prevent recurrence.

It is a double-edged sword; while killing cancer cells, chemotherapeutic drugs are cytotoxic, directly disrupting cellular structures, mostly harming actively proliferating cells, and have certain toxicities to vital organs like the liver, kidneys, heart, and lungs. If these organs suffer significant damage, patients may experience organ failure or even death.

Moreover, chemotherapy suppresses the immune system, which is equally concerning.

Patients who have just completed chemotherapy must be particularly cautious about infections.

Even a common cold can be life-threatening.

Despite such many dangers, chemotherapy’s efficacy in exterminating cancer cells is acknowledged.

At least it ensures the destruction of cancer cells without directly causing death, serving as a treatnt thod.

Furthermore, because cancer cells are exceedingly tenacious, a single chemotherapy session cannot eliminate them completely.

Only a fraction of them can be eliminated.

This necessitates multiple chemotherapy sessions to achieve a relatively satisfactory treatnt outco.

Imagine, physically weaker patients struggling through two or three extra chemotherapies can’t endure much longer.

This is one reason why chemotherapy is notorious.

The approach of sacrificing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of one’s resources is not bearable by everyone.

Thankfully, nurous advanced dications are available or in developnt, such as targeted drugs and immune-related cancer treatnts. dications that create super T-cell warriors belong to this category.

Human immune cells are divided into two types—T and B cells, with T cells acting like scouts and B cells analogous to missile troops.

As long as T cells can identify the enemy, B cells have a thousand ways to destroy it.
