China is a country with a high incidence of liver cancer, and its morbidity and mortality rates remain high
Recently, the Fourth World Forum held during the leading scientists, Zhong Keyuan Academy of Sciences , Fudan University Zhongshan Hospital Dean Fan Jia CCTV news interview, introduction of liver cancer diagnosis and treatment status quo
Zhong ASTRI ASTRI academicians Dean How to diagnose liver cancer?
How to diagnose liver cancer? In the 1960s, scientists in the former Soviet Union measured an increase in alpha-fetoprotein in the blood of liver cancer patients
Fan Jia said that through early screening of patients with hepatitis background, hepatitis B or liver cirrhosis in high-risk areas, some small liver cancers (tumors less than 5 cm) can be found
Liver cancer changed from "incurable disease" to "partially treatable disease"
Liver cancer changed from "incurable disease" to "partially treatable disease" Fan Jia pointed out, "After about forty to fifty years, our country has made great progress in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment
He introduced that there are many surgical methods for liver cancer
In recent years, the proportion of liver cancer patients undergoing surgery in China has increased from 5% to nearly 30%, and the diameter of tumors removed by surgery has also been reduced from 8 cm to less than 5 cm
In addition, the successive launch of a series of immunosuppressive agents have effectively improved the therapeutic effect of liver cancer
The world's first liver cancer molecular diagnostic kit
The world's first liver cancer molecular diagnostic kit On November 3, the National Science and Technology Award was announced
The project established new technologies for early diagnosis of liver cancer, developed new early warning programs for metastasis and recurrence, developed new strategies for individualized treatment to overcome tumor heterogeneity, formed an integrated liver cancer diagnosis and treatment system, and significantly improved the overall survival rate of liver cancer patients
It is understood that after 9 years of research, Fan Jia’s team has screened seven types of microribonucleic acid (miRNA) molecular markers for early diagnosis of liver cancer in the plasma of liver cancer patients
In this regard, Fan Jia said that past research data shows that when alpha-fetoprotein is used for liver cancer diagnosis, 40% of patients are easily "missed"
How should ordinary people prevent liver cancer?
How should ordinary people prevent liver cancer? Fan Jia suggested that people with liver cancer background, or family history of liver cirrhosis, hepatitis B, etc.
He said that after years of hard work, the number of liver cancer patients who survived more than five and ten years after surgery has increased significantly
Currently, Fan Jia is leading the team to improve the diagnosis rate through nuclear magnetic resonance and other means, and to find more markers in the immune microenvironment of liver cancer
