The female doctor who wanted to transform cancer cells eventually left.

Yan Hongwei was born in the countryside. After more than ten years of hard work, he completed his undergraduate, master's degree and doctoral degree. He successfully took root in Shanghai. He worked as a teacher in a university. He had a good salary. He married his first love, gave birth to a lovely daughter, and had a happy family. This is a life that many people envy, but cancer eventually takes away everything.

Yan Hongwei, who suffers from breast cancer, , tried every means and even traveled across the ocean to the United States, but still unfortunately passed away.

1. The path to anti-cancer of female teachers in China and the United States for advanced cancer

1. At the age of 33, I suffered from cancer and used up all the treatment drugs in China and

017, Yan Hongwei could not have imagined that he was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, which is the most difficult 8% of breast cancer. The famous singer Yao Beina is suffering from this cancer. Shortly after the diagnosis of

, Yan Hongwei accepted the doctor's plan and underwent a complete mammary lymph node clearance surgery. After the operation, she also underwent 14 major chemotherapy and 6 minor chemotherapy.

However, cancer cells expand faster than anyone imagines. All the drugs used to treat breast cancer in China have been used, but they have no effect in Yan Hongwei's body, and the tumor continues to spread in the lungs.

2. Going to the United States for sky-high treatment, but ended up in failure

"I want to survive." Yan Hongwei's idea is very simple. In 2018, she came to Houston MD Anderson Cancer Center, the world's top cancer hospital.

The treatment cost in the United States is very expensive. In the 39 days in the United States, Yan Hongwei underwent a routine blood test of and a puncture operation. The 24,000 US dollars brought with him had been spent. In the end, American doctors showed that the estrogen receptor ER was positive by puncture, which believed that this was not triple-negative breast cancer, overturned the previous diagnosis in China.

However, after returning to China, the top breast cancer expert in China arranged a more comprehensive examination for Yan Hongwei, believing that the puncture diagnosis of Yan Hongwei in the United States was a misdiagnosis caused by the specificity of the tumor, and she still suffered from triple-negative breast cancer.

After repeated consideration, Yan Hongwei decided to accept the recommendation of American doctors to go to Hong Kong to purchase a targeted drug that has not yet been launched in the mainland. The drug was proven to be effective for breast cancer patients with estrogen receptor ER positive at the time, but it was expensive: a box of drugs, 21 pills, about 30,000 yuan, and a pill was nearly 1,400 yuan.

But fate teased her again. Yan Hongwei took three boxes of medicine and checked 6 times, and the results were all: the lesion is still enlarging. On March 18, 2019, Yan Hongwei finally left the world with the disease.

3. The deceased is gone, and the living must continue to move forward

Husband Wu Zaibin announced his new relationship one year after his wife passed away. His new girlfriend is a nurse on the front line of the epidemic in Wuhan. 2020 is also the most embarrassing time for Wu Zaibin. When he was lonely, he met her in the sunshine, and he decided to get out of the haze of the past.

Children need more care and they also need emotional companionship. He wants to be in the beautiful scenery and delicious food, and no one shares it as if chewing wax.

2. Going to the United States for medical treatment is a sky-high bill

Yan Hongwei is just a microcosm of many patients who go to the United States to treat cancer. According to statistics from the Popular Science Times, in 2017 alone, the number of people seeking medical treatment in China has reached 600,000, of which 80% are cancer patients.

According to statistics, the average medical expenses for Chinese patients who go to the United States to fight cancer are as high as 2 million yuan. Why do so many people choose to go to the United States for treatment? In their opinion, the high medical expenses in the United States have their value:

, advanced technology

48.7% of the new drugs under development are conducted in the United States; 40% of the global clinical trials of new drugs and new technologies occur in the United States; the United States' investment in medical care accounts for 17% of the national GDP; the United States has also produced many Nobel Prize winners in physiology or medicine.

. A considerable cancer cure rate

Thanks to the United States' investment in medical care, nearly 7 of every 10 cancer patients can survive for 5 years, achieving the "clinical cure" that cancer patients in various countries have always dreamed of. According to the latest data from American Cancer Society , from 1991 to 2018, the cancer mortality rate continued to drop by 31%, and achieved a 27-year continuous decline.

3. Can cancer not be cured in China be cured when going to the United States?

018 The Lancet published a monitoring data on the global cancer survival status from 2000 to 2014. By comparing the 5-year survival rate differences between China and the United States, it can be found that:

. In the comparison of the 5-year survival rates of , the two countries have higher survival rates, and there is not much difference; while for cancers with low survival rates such as , China has a low cure rate, and the United States may not be able to cure it.

. In most cancers, such as melanoma, prostate cancer , bone marrow cancer, lymphoma , etc., the United States has a leading advantage, especially in prostate cancer, teenage lymphoma , etc., the five-year survival rate is nearly 90%.

. Some cancers in China are also ahead of the United States, such as esophageal cancer and gastric cancer . China's 5-year survival rate is ahead of the United States.

Is cancer treatment really "going abroad"? Stop being superstitious. The overall 5-year survival rate of cancer in China is mainly due to the discovery too late. Many patients do not establish a sense of cancer screening, and most of them are already in the middle and late stages when tumors occur.

Chinese Academy of Engineering Academician Sun YanAcademician Academician said that it is a misunderstanding to treat cancer in China in foreign countries. It is indeed a gap in the development of new drugs compared with the United States, but in the common cancer treatment level, China is not worse than the United States. Such as esophageal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, , liver cancer, etc., foreign clinical experience is far less rich than that of domestic doctors.

In addition, as more and more imported anti-cancer drugs enter the domestic market with zero tariffs, the domestic diagnosis and treatment advantages are more obvious. In the future, more people will be able to use good medicine and afford it. #Health Star Plan# #Rumor Zero Plan#
