Xu Kecheng is a well-known gastroenterology expert and tumor treatment expert in mainland China, and is currently the president of Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital in Guangdong Province, where he still led the team to tackle key problems when he was suffering from cancer, and pioneered the "3C+P" treatment model, successfully treating more than 7,000 cancer patients. What is the reason why he has been able to live peacefully with cancer for 17 years and help many cancer patients with his illness?
Chen Daming is a bank employee, approaching the end of the year, the recent customer demand is large, the workload has increased accordingly, he has been working overtime for more than a month, back to work at nearly 11 o'clock, plus an hour of commuting time, arrived home is already early in the morning, long time lack of sleep, which leads to his dark circles increasingly aggravated.
On January 15, 2020, Chen Daming, who came home from work, felt a little dizzy and nauseous, thinking that he had not finished breakfast recently, Chen Daming felt a little dizzy and nauseous again, and his body also felt extremely weak.
On January 18, 2020, Chen Daming came to the hospital, and the blood test showed that there was no obvious abnormality, but there were problems with liver and kidney function, serum alanine aminotransferase 340U/L, serum aspartate aminotransferase 268U/L, albumin 31.7g/L, total bilirubin 22.7umol/L, the doctor considered that it may be chronic hepatitis B, and increased the hepatitis B virus serum marker examination, which showed: HBsAg (+), HBeAg (+), anti-HBc (+), that is, the three major positives of hepatitis B, hepatobiliary and spleen ultrasound: chronic slight impairment of the liver parenchyma. Combined with Chen Daming's family history of hepatitis B, it is considered to be chronic hepatitis B.
Chronic hepatitis B, often referred to simply as "hepatitis B", is caused by hepatitis B virus infection that persists for more than 6 months, resulting in varying degrees of inflammation, necrosis or liver fibrosis in the liver. The early symptoms of chronic hepatitis B are not obvious, and generally manifest as recurrent fatigue, dizziness, loss of appetite, greasy diet, etc., and may manifest as palmar erythema, spider angiomas, and hepatosplenomegaly as the disease worsens. The hepatitis B virus is mainly transmitted from mother to child, blood, and sexual contact. Hepatitis B can be transmitted by both people and carriers, but it is usually not transmitted through the respiratory and digestive tracts and is rarely transmitted by mosquitoes.
Chen Daming was not surprised by this result, his father and brother are carriers of hepatitis B virus, but there have been no uncomfortable symptoms for many years, so Chen Daming did not pay attention to his condition, after taking the medicine home, a few days ago, he took antiviral drugs on time every day according to the doctor's instructions, but after a long time, Chen Daming, who did not appear obviously unwell, relaxed his vigilance, and only ate a meal when he remembered the antiviral drugs, let alone regular rechecks.
It is worth noting that after the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B, antiviral drugs cannot be stopped at will without the permission of the doctor, otherwise it is very likely to cause HBV DNA to increase significantly, hepatitis acute attack, and once it progresses to severe hepatitis, the difficulty of treatment increases sharply, and the prognosis is poor.
On December 22, 2021, Chen Daming's wife suddenly noticed a red mole on the back of his neck when he was eating breakfast, a small dot in the middle, and the small blood-red blood vessels around him were distributed radially, which is often referred to as "spider nevi".
Chen Daming had a history of hepatitis B, and the entecavir was taken irregularly, so the doctor first rechecked Chen Daming's liver function and abdominal CT, and the results were not friendly, and in just two years, Chen Daming's hepatitis developed rapidly.
血常规示:血红蛋白(Hb)87g/L,白细胞(WBC)16×109/L,中性粒细胞(N)% 81.1%,血小板(BPC)127.4×109/L; 肝功能示:总胆红素(TB)/结合胆红素(CB) 18.2/7umol/L,丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)/天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)37/52U/L,白蛋白(A) 31g/L;乙型肝炎DNA(HBV-DNA)为×10^7/L,腹部CT显示肝脓肿。
In order to further clarify the nature of the mass, the doctor discussed with Chen Daming's family to do a transcubital vein ultrasonography, and the results showed that the lesion was low and uneven, with multiple enhancement areas visible, and MRI diagnosed it as massive liver cancer. After needle biopsy, the pathological results were consistent with sarcomatoid carcinoma.
Hepatosarcoma, also known as hepatic malignant mesenchymal tissue tumor, is a very rare malignant tumor that occurs in the liver, the prognosis is very poor, the cause is still unclear, it is generally believed that it may be related to hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, there are no obvious clinical symptoms in the early stage of the disease, and abdominal pain or fever may occur in the late stage.
Chen Daming felt unbelievable about the results given by the hospital, but after going to several large hospitals, the results were different, some said it was a tumor and some said it was a liver abscess, but Chen Daming's condition developed very rapidly, and people began to lose weight, and their faces were sallow, and finally in order to have a definite result and treatment plan, the family found President Xu Kecheng, and the answer given by President Xu Kecheng was exactly the same as that of the first hospital, hepatosarcoma-like cancer.
But fortunately, Dean Xu Kecheng did not give up on him, but told Chen Daming bluntly: There is still hope! After deciding on the treatment plan, Xu Kecheng communicated with Xu Daming many times and told him his personal experience, so that he must cheer up and face cancer positively and optimistically.
Chen Daming was very surprised to learn that Tsui Hark Shing had been living peacefully with cancer for 17 years, and what was even more admirable was that during this period, Dean Tsui Kecheng had been fighting on the front line, not only successfully saving himself, but also saving thousands of cancer patients with his hands.
In a conversation, he couldn't help but ask Xu Kecheng about the secret of fighting cancer, and Xu Kecheng didn't hide it, and told him directly and clearly: "Regarding the fight against cancer, I have a five-point summary, which is neither time-consuming and laborious, nor does it cost money, in daily life, as long as you do these five points, cancer is not terrible at all, and you can also learn it." ”
First, adhere to antiviral therapy.
Studies have shown that antiviral therapy can reduce the risk of death in patients with resectable HBV-HCC by 40% if antiviral therapy can be started before or within 6 months of diagnosis of liver cancer. In mainland China, more than 90% of liver cancer patients have hepatitis virus infection, and more than 70% of liver cancer patients are already in the advanced stage of liver cancer at the time of discovery, which greatly increases the difficulty of liver cancer treatment, so antiviral therapy becomes very important, therefore, especially for patients with chronic hepatitis B, antiviral therapy is of great significance for delaying the development of liver cancer and anti-cancer treatment.
Second, pay attention to your emotions.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that the liver is the main drain, and it is necessary to maintain a positive attitude in life, correctly understand the disease, actively treat, maintain a comfortable mood, anger and anxiety are all bad emotions for the liver, and we should maintain emotional stability and optimism.
Third, pay attention to your diet, quit smoking and drinking.
Diet is very important for the health of the liver, food will be transformed into liver glycogen and muscle glycogen after digestion, and further metabolized by the liver, so paying attention to maintaining a healthy diet is beneficial to the liver to maintain normal function; In addition, alcohol is very damaging to the liver, and patients with liver disease should prohibit alcohol intake. Try to avoid eating moldy things in your diet and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
Fourth, don't stay up late and get tired.
Studies have shown that people who stay up late for a long time will have a decrease in liver metabolic function, reduced immunity, and fatigue will also increase the burden on the liver of people who originally suffer from liver disease, which will cause substantial damage to the liver in the long run, further affecting liver function.
Fifth, regular review.
When the patient has right upper quadrant pain, it is necessary to pay attention to the liver, gallbladder and spleen and stomach problems, and if it is uncomfortable, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to check B ultrasound and CT, which plays an important role in the early detection of liver cancer.
