Professor Wang put down the stethoscope in his hand and sighed softly. Sitting in front of him was an anxious middle-aged woman, none other than Aunt Li, who had been diagnosed with early-stage liver cancer a year ago.
"Aunt Li, I'm sorry, your liver cancer has progressed to an advanced stage." Professor Wang said slowly, his tone full of regret.
Aunt Li's face turned pale instantly, and a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes. "How so? I've been drinking green tea! Drink it every day, never stop. Her voice trembled, her hand clutching her bag tightly.
Professor Wang shook his head slightly, "Aunt Li, green tea does have a certain antioxidant effect, but it is not a substitute for formal medical treatment. In addition to drinking green tea, have you received any other treatments in the past year? "
Aunt Li lowered her head, her voice getting quieter and quieter, "No... I thought drinking green tea was enough. It is said on the Internet that green tea has a good anti-cancer effect..."
Professor Wang's heart sank, and he realized that this was another tragic case of being misled by online rumors. Taking a deep breath, I decided to take this opportunity to explain the misconceptions about cancer treatment.
Dear readers, the author's income is so small that he has to include a short 5-second ad in the text, and you can read the full text for free by watching it. I know it might be a little intrusive, but it does help me increase my income and keep me writing. Your understanding is my biggest motivation, and I will try to bring more quality content!
"Aunt Li, I understand your feelings. But cancer is a complex disease, and drinking green tea alone is not enough.
"While some studies have shown that some of the ingredients in green tea may have a role in preventing cancer, this does not mean that it can cure the cancer that has already formed."
Especially for patients who have been diagnosed with cancer, what we need is a systematic and scientific treatment plan. "
Aunt Li raised her head, her eyes full of regret and confusion, "That... So what do I do now? Professor Wang said gently, "Although the disease has progressed to an advanced stage, we still have some treatment options.
I suggest that we immediately start comprehensive treatment, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. At the same time, we will also take some adjunctive therapies to improve your quality of life. "
Subsequently, Professor Wang explained the treatment plan to Aunt Li in detail.
At the end of the conversation, he particularly emphasized: "Aunt Li, I hope you can understand that in the face of cancer, what we need is a scientific attitude and systematic treatment.
A single method, whether it's green tea or any other 'magical' home remedies, is not enough. After seeing off Aunt Li, Professor Wang sat in his office and fell into deep thought.
As an oncologist who has been practicing medicine for many years, he understands the difficulty and complexity of cancer treatment.
However, cases like Aunt Li's are not uncommon. When facing cancer, many patients are often confused by various specious "home remedies", delaying the best time for treatment.
Professor Wang recalls the various cases he has encountered over the years. Some patients are superstitious that a particular food can cure cancer, some patients believe that some mysterious qigong can drive away tumors, and some patients believe that as long as they remain optimistic, they can defeat the disease.
These ideas, while well-intentioned, often lead to tragic results.
Cancer treatment is a system engineering, which requires multidisciplinary and multi-angle comprehensive treatment. Various methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc., all have their specific indications and effects.
At the same time, psychological counseling, nutritional support, rehabilitation training and other auxiliary treatments are also indispensable. Relying solely on a certain method, whether traditional or emerging, is difficult to achieve the desired results.
Professor Wong thought that perhaps the root cause of the problem was a lack of public awareness of cancer.
Many people have a fear of cancer, so much so that they tend to panic when facing a diagnosis, rather than calmly seeking professional medical advice.
At the same time, the various unproven "home remedies" circulating on the Internet have also given some patients false hope that they can beat cancer with simple methods.
As a doctor, Professor Wang feels a great responsibility. He decided to work harder to educate the public about cancer and help more people develop a correct concept of cancer prevention and control.
It is believed that only when the public has a comprehensive and scientific understanding of cancer can the early diagnosis and cure rate of cancer be truly improved. The next day, Professor Wang went to the hospital's Public Education Center to start preparing a series of lectures on cancer prevention and control.
I hope that through these lectures, more people can understand the truth about cancer and avoid falling into misunderstandings like Aunt Li.
In his lecture, Professor Wang highlighted several aspects.
Prevention and early detection of cancer are crucial. Encourage everyone to have regular physical examinations, pay attention to their own health changes, and seek medical attention in time if they find abnormalities.
Once you are diagnosed with cancer, you should maintain a calm and rational attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan. Don't believe the various "home remedies" circulating on the Internet, and don't stop regular treatment without authorization.
Cancer treatment is a long-term process that requires patience and perseverance on the part of patients and families. In addition to actively receiving treatment, it is also important to maintain a good mindset, a reasonable diet, and moderate exercise.
Professor Wang emphasized the importance of popularizing science. He called on all sectors of society to work together to improve the public's health literacy and create a scientific and rational social atmosphere.
After the lecture, Professor Wang received many thanks from the audience, saying that through this lecture, he has a more comprehensive and scientific understanding of cancer, and also has a better understanding of the correct attitude to adopt in the face of cancer.
Back in the office, Professor Wang has mixed feelings, feeling relieved to be able to help more people establish a correct concept of cancer prevention and control, but at the same time, he also feels sorry for patients like Aunt Li.
We know that changing public perception is a long process that requires the joint efforts of the medical community, the media community and society as a whole.
Looking at the blue sky outside the window, Professor Wang secretly determined that he would continue to work hard to help more patients overcome cancer with his professional knowledge and clinical experience, and at the same time contribute to the improvement of the health literacy of the whole society.
I believe that as long as we adhere to a scientific and rational attitude, one day, cancer will no longer be a "terminal disease" that makes people smell and change, but an ordinary disease that can be prevented and treated.
In the face of diseases, especially major diseases like cancer, we need to maintain a rational and scientific attitude.
Don't believe in the various "miracle cures" circulating on the Internet, but actively seek professional medical advice and follow a scientific treatment plan.
At the same time, we should also realize that health is a systemic issue, which requires us to start from our daily life and comprehensively improve our health level through reasonable diet, moderate exercise, regular physical examination, etc.
Only in this way can we truly prevent problems before they occur and respond calmly when they occur.
