A few years ago, if you ask me, can money buy health? I will definitely answer you no. There are too many problems in the world that cannot be solved with money, such as leukemia, cancer and other malignant diseases. But now if you ask me that again, I might hesitate a bit! Because just recently, a special medicine for the treatment of cancer was announced on the Internet. This special medicine claims that it only needs to be injected into a small bag to destroy all cancer cells in the patient's body. It is simple, convenient and efficient, not only right. Cancer patients, for the rest of us, are very excited to hear this news.
But the effect is good, the price is good, the cost of an injection is 1.2 million yuan, which is equivalent to the down payment for a house in a big city in China, so everyone must have doubts, this new cancer drug in the end How effective is it? If you are interested in this issue, don’t miss this issue today. Follow Bao Dequan to learn about the sacredness of the latest and strongest cancer drug, how effective is the treatment, is it available for all cancers, and why is it charged? So expensive, is there any possibility of lowering the price?
Cancer, also called malignant tumor, its treatment has always been a big problem in the medical field at home and abroad. When I was young, I heard that someone in Murakami had cancer. It was a rare thing, but now it’s different. There are many people who have cancer around. Especially in the past few years, due to the increasingly serious environmental pollution, modern people are under greater social pressure. Cancer can be said to be more and more common, and it is getting earlier and earlier. If you don’t believe it, think about it for yourself. Several people will have cancer. Against this background, if there is a specific medicine that can treat cancer very effectively, it will inevitably become the savior of all cancer patients.
And such specific drugs have really appeared now. At the end of June this year, our country approved a CAR-T anti-cancer drug for domestic use. This injection is called Akilunsai Injection, which is different from other cancer treatment methods, neither requires chemotherapy nor pain. It can eliminate cancer cells in the body under a relatively non-tossing patient condition.
sounds a bit too unreal, like a lie? Don’t think so, everyone,Because there are already cases of realistic treatment effects in China, the first domestic injection patient was officially discharged from Shanghai Ruijin Hospital at the end of August this year.
In 2019, a woman in Shanghai was diagnosed with lymphoma . This news caused disaster to her family. Although she has been actively treated and tried many methods, the effect is not obvious. When she was frustrated, when this lady heard from a friend that Shanghai Ruijin Hospital was trying to use a new type of CAR-T therapy to treat malignant tumors, with the mentality of being a dead horse, this lady became It was the first cancer patient in China to use Akilense injection.
Judging from the results of the first user's clinical use, Akilense injection has indeed reached the standard for complete remission of cancer. Here I explain to you what is meant by "complete remission of cancer".
In medicine, the word "relief" is generally used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of malignant tumors. When the cancer cells are reduced or stopped, it is often called "remission", only when the cancer cells are completely Only by being eliminated can it be regarded as reaching the standard of "complete relief". Therefore, judging from the hospital's evaluation of the condition, it can be said that the first domestic patient's effect of using Akilenthal injection is very obvious, and it has reached the standard for curing cancer.
Although the drug is effective, it costs 1.2 million people per injection. Such an expensive cancer treatment still discourages many ordinary people. The current price is still not affordable for most people. So, what everyone is most concerned about The question must be: how is this over-million-dollar injection priced? Why is the price so high, is it impossible for the unit price to drop in the future?
To answer this question, we must first start with the principle of Achilles injection for cancer. As a cancer drug, Akilunza is mainly used for CAR-T therapy. What is CAR-T , translated into Chinese is "chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy". This is the last few years. A kind of precision targeted therapy that is very popular in the medical field,After all, it is a cellular immunotherapy. In the name of
CAR-T therapy, the letter T refers to human T lymphocytes , which is a type of white blood cell, derived from bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, and is also a very important immune cell in the human body. It is important for bacterial infections and viruses. Common diseases such as infection can play an immune role, which is equivalent to a cleaner in the human body. It eliminates all external infections and abnormal conditions. For tumor cells, it also has a certain immune effect.
However, tumors are, after all, a malignant disease, which is much more powerful than bacterial or viral infections. It is far from enough to rely on T lymphocytes for immunity. It is neither accurate nor efficient enough. Sometimes, healthy cells in the human body are killed by mistake. To make T cells work more accurately, genetic engineering technology is needed.
Through the application of genetic engineering technology, scientists isolate T lymphocytes from patients, activate them, and finally form a union with CAR. This approach is equivalent to attaching a scope to the machine gun. Sweep a large area like the original, good or bad, now it can accurately identify tumor cells in the body, and release anti-cancer factors through the immune function of T cells, and ultimately eliminate tumor cells in the human body accurately and effectively.
It sounds like the principle of this kind of malignant tumor therapy is not complicated, but why the charge is so high, let me give you the bottom line, the reason why the price of Akilunza injection is so high is not imported drugs. It is the research and development, testing and clinical application of advanced drugs that are overwhelmingly demanding. On the one hand, we must consider the pre-development costs of drugs and therapies, and on the other hand, we must also consider the uniqueness of the patients themselves.
First of all, everyone may know that the research and development of drugs is a very heavy workload, a long cycle, and requires very rigorous work. Before CAR-T therapy is officially used in clinics , Pharmaceutical companies have invested hundreds of millions of funds and hundreds of biologists in his research and development for several years,After these funds and energy are invested, once the drugs are officially circulated in the market, the pharmaceutical companies must recover the spent R&D investment in the sales of drugs. Otherwise, how can the company make money?
On the other hand, because the injection is developed based on CAR-T therapy, T cells must be extracted from the patient, and genetic modification and cultivation of the patient will be carried out, and finally billions, tens of billions of s will be cultivated. CAR-T cell, each step of this requires going through harsh experimental conditions, complex genetic modification engineering, and several months of work by top biologists, and finally injecting the modified T cells into the patient Of the body. It is no exaggeration to say that this medicine is not bought directly from the market, but is more like a private order. CAR-T cells cultured based on the condition of each patient will not have an effect on other patients. Therefore, Ah, he is different from other conventional drugs, and the market price is naturally worse by more than one or two grades.
Of course, another reason why everyone feels that injections are expensive is that we also need to consider the national conditions of our country. The pricing of medicines in our country has always been relatively strict, and ordinary people seldom see medicines worth more than one million yuan in the market. In recent years, the domestic pharmaceutical industry has promoted the policy of centralized procurement of drugs and equipment. After the centralized bidding of some conventional drugs, the price drop has basically been more than 70%, and the price drop of some medical devices has even exceeded. It’s 90%. Medicines can’t be expensive. As a socialist country, it’s a bottom line to protect people’s livelihood. Therefore, it is rare to see very high-priced medicines and devices in China. Medicines worth millions of yuan are very exaggerated. .
However, in capitalist societies such as Europe and the United States, the situation is completely different. In the United States, it is the same medicine used to treat malignant diseases as Akilenthal injection. The basic price is more than one million yuan, or even more expensive, such as treatment. acute leukemia injection and so on. Looking at it this way, the pricing of Akilense injection is relatively reasonable and fair.
Besides, once a person has a malignant tumor,Basically, the door is closed. The mentality of the whole person is completely different from that of healthy people. People are on the verge of life and death. What is the use of more money? It may be for many cancer patients, especially For those with economic conditions, the price of Akilense injection is really not the first consideration.
But don’t worry too much, the 1.2 million Akilunza injection is an imported drug after all. As the use of this drug becomes more and more popular, there are more and more clinical cases that can prove its effectiveness. The same type of drugs will also speed up the research and development, production and market launch. At that time, everyone will have more choices. Some people even say on the Internet that if the production cost alone is measured, the price of domestic injection may be 180,000 yuan in the future. Around the needle, it may even be less than 100,000 yuan, but it needs to be pointed out that currently there is no similar drug in China. If you want to buy similar products in China, it may take some time to wait.
Even with such an expensive treatment price, Akilenthal injection is not available for money, and the injection itself will select patients. On the one hand, not all malignant tumors can use injection, and the other On the one hand, the patient's own physical condition and immune cell condition will affect the effect of Akilense injection.
Judging from the current research and development situation and clinical use, Akirunsai injection is actually effective for patients with non-solid tumors, such as hematological malignancies, lymphoma , etc., for some For common solid tumors, such as colon cancer, stomach cancer and liver cancer, the effect of this treatment method is quite limited, and it can even be said that it has not been able to treat it yet.
Having said so much, I actually hope that everyone will not use Akilunza injection in the future, because for us, whether cancer can be cured or not, it will bring great pain to individuals and families. Not getting sick is what we should pursue first.
Here, I also give you a few simple suggestions:
First of all,Know how to deal with emotions. The pressure of modern people’s lives is too great. Everyone must learn to self-regulate. Nowadays, many diseases are actually caused by anger, endurance, or suffocation, rather than tiredness. They feel uncomfortable and boring in their hearts. It’s easy to get sick. This is supported by a lot of research foundations in the scientific community. In recent years, why more and more people suffer from mental illness? It’s because these people don’t know how to deal with emotions, and everything is boring in their hearts. Bored out of illness.
Secondly, there are some diseases that are really exhausted. I advise everyone, don’t use the method of consuming health and body to exchange money when you are young, and then use money to exchange health when you are old. I know, money does not necessarily buy health. Even anti-cancer drugs such as Akirunsai injection can not cure all cancers. Nowadays, there are many young people who rely on their youthful health. It's 996 at every turn, staying up late, not having a fixed meal, and not exercising. In the end, the mistakes made when you are young will have to be borne by yourself when you are old.
Finally, I suggest that you can configure some commercial insurance products appropriately. In recent years, our domestic insurance industry has actually developed very fast. Although insurance has not had a long history since its appearance in China, there are some products that are now comparable to developed countries, including some critical illness protection products and serious illnesses. Medical treatment and so on. Don’t think that buying insurance is deceived. The most fundamental thing is that you have to learn and understand some insurance terms, and then choose some products that are suitable for you based on your actual situation. I can’t say that I have a relative who sells insurance or My friend sells insurance and recommended one to me. Which ones are covered, which ones are not covered, under what circumstances will be covered, and under what circumstances will not be covered, if I don’t know anything, I bought it. At the critical moment, it is really hard to say whether it can be compensated. Therefore, buying insurance and finding a doctor if you are sick, or finding a lawyer in a lawsuit is a reason. You must find a professional. Let me tell you, nothing happens, but if there are three diseases and five calamities, insurance is definitely more reliable than parents, and it is also the best tool for ordinary people to avoid risks.
Well, today our program introduces the anti-cancer drug, Akilunsai injection. Everyone must have confidence in the future medical development. I believe that in a few years, domestic drugs of the same kind will be The meeting is out,Even, maybe the effect of the medicine will be better and the charges will be cheaper. We look forward to one day when all cancers can be cured, so that there will be more happy families and a more harmonious society. #CAR-T Treatment# # Cancer#
