Eliminate the tumor with a "machine gun"! Particle therapy is no worse than that of abroad.

(Health Times full-story reporter Qiao Jingfang) Particle therapy sounds strange, but it's simple to say. Zhang Fujun, chairman of the China Anticancer Association's Cancer Society's Cancer Minimally Invasive Treatment Committee and director of the Minimally Invasive Intervention Department of Sun Yat-sen University Affiliated Oncology Hospital, said that if the tumor is seen as an enemy, then particle therapy is a machine gun used to eliminate the enemy.
", "This is like bombing the enemy bunker, if you are fighting from the outside, it is difficult to hit the enemy inside, may use a great explosive power to blow the bunker bad, into the attack. Particle therapy is about throwing grenades into the bunker, and perhaps a small bomb can wipe out the enemy quickly.
radiotherapy has external radiation and internal radiation, Zhang Fujun director said, external radiation is like spot radiation, a day only a time period in the treatment, and tumor cells are cyclical, only in the cell cycle when the emission of radiation is sensitive, radiation time and cell cycle may not necessarily coincide. The in-particle irradiation is a persistent irradiation, like a machine gun, which emits rays continuously 24 hours a day, and when it comes out, the particles hit it.
the usual exoradiative radiation treatment is from the outside to the inside of the tumor, its rays have to go through normal tissue to reach the tumor, and if the radiation dose is too high, normal tissue will also be affected. The close-up of internal radiation therapy is different, it is a metal wrapped iodine 125 particles, the range of killing is 1.7 cm, only on the tumor has a lethal effect, the damage to normal tissue is relatively small. It is reported that Director Zhang Fujun is the first in southern China to carry out iodine 125 particle implantation technology experts, opened up a new way in cancer treatment.
Director Zhang Fujun, said particle technology was originally used in the treatment of prostate cancer, but has gradually spread to other physical tumors, such as lung cancer, breast cancer and other metastatic tumors. In the past 20 years, particle technology has been carried out in more than 500 hospitals and nearly 3,000 medical workers. Practice has proved that its local control rate of tumor can reach 80% to 90%, especially in the tumor reduction and disappearance of the effect is very good.
Director Zhang Fujun personally experienced a patient, liver transplant edilinations of 17 small lesions, the disease is very unstable, however, through particle technology and comprehensive treatment of targeted drugs, the patient's life has been maintained for 12 years, which is rare.
when it comes to cancer treatment, many people think that foreign technology is good, in fact, in the field of particle therapy, China's technology is not worse than foreign, and Chinese doctors do more diseases, more innovative research. In addition, in terms of material innovation is even better than foreign countries, Zhang Fujun director example, particle bracket, 3D printing templates, biodegradable particle chains, etc. , are Chinese invention, which is worthy of our pride.
in addition, as the "14th China Cancer Minimally Invasive Treatment Academic Conference and Guangdong Province Anti-Cancer Association Cancer Society Cancer Microinvasive Intervention Professional Committee Annual Meeting" President, Zhang Fujun was also elected as the new China Anti-Cancer Association Cancer Society Ofcancer MinimallyInvasive Treatment Professional Committee Chairman, he stressed that the next committee should continue to send minimally invasive intervention technology to the grass-roots level, strengthen organizational construction and the integration of branches and disciplines, and will promote the technology in different diseases.
