Recently, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University reported a case of a pregnant woman diagnosed with advanced malignant tumors, allowing tumor patients to see the magic of precision medicine!
was shortened from 10 days to 2 days, and rapid diagnosis and treatment created a miracle of life for pregnant mothers with advanced lung cancer
A Ms. Wang, who was more than 26 weeks pregnant, was sent to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University by a 120 ambulance. At this time, Ms. Wang was dyspnea , her whole body was ecchymosis, and she had symptoms of "dispersed intravascular coagulation" , and the culprit that caused all this was a malignant tumor - lung cancer ! If there is no way to obtain accurate treatment in time, Ms. Wang’s life may last less than 3 days!
Hospital organized a multidisciplinary consultation for all staff, arranged a lymph node biopsy as soon as possible, and conducted a molecular pathological diagnosis of . The next afternoon, the pathological report including targeted treatment guidance results was issued. was reported about 10 days ahead of normal situation. Ms. Wang has received timely and precise targeted treatment, turning danger into safety, not only controlling the tumor, but also successfully completing pregnancy and giving birth to a healthy baby in full term.
Although there are not many such emergency cases in clinical practice, cancer treatment is a race against time, and the process of waiting for reports has always been the biggest torment for patients and their families. Many patients have severely worsened due to excessive fear and anxiety, and some patients are also facing difficult choices of waiting for results and choosing other treatment options. Therefore, it is very important to quickly obtain diagnostic results and quickly formulate accurate treatment plans!
China Speed: It only takes 4 working days for patients to be admitted to the hospital to establish a treatment plan
When it comes to precise diagnosis and treatment, the earliest one was lung cancer. Now my country's lung cancer treatment has reached the world's first-class level. At the 2020 World Lung Cancer Conference, Professor Zhoucaicun from Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital shared the rapid and accurate detection path for lung cancer molecular typing established by Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, which greatly shortens the time for first-time patients from admission to establishing a treatment plan, which only takes 4 working days, while in European and American countries, it usually takes more than 14 working days. This has made my country's lung cancer diagnosis and treatment system highly recognized worldwide and has been praised by international peers as the "China speed" for lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.
multigene detection is also very fast. Chinese-style solutions match mainstream European and American technologies
molecular pathological diagnosis is gene detection . How long does gene detection usually take? For example, the familiar new crown nucleic acid test will be reported in 4 to 6 hours! The technical platform used for tumor gene detection is the same, but it is much more complicated than the COVID-19 detection, because the COVID-19 detection is the unchanging part of the virus (the detection of the virus gene indicates an infection), while the tumor detects the genetic mutation part. Many gene mutations in can lead to tumors, and each gene has multiple variant types, so multiple variant types need to be detected at a time, called multigene detection. Although
causes a lot of gene mutations in tumors, there are limited genes that have been clearly studied and have a guiding role in clinical treatment. Therefore, it is not necessary for patients who are first diagnosed to detect all gene mutations. Instead, should target the detection of treatment-related genes and quickly establish a treatment plan.
In Europe and the United States, multigene testing generally uses emerging NGS technology, and the detection cycle usually takes more than 10 days. In my country, the PCR platform used for COVID-19 testing is very popular, and it is fast and accurate. The multigene testing product developed based on this platform can complete all the genes related to treatment within 1 day, helping clinicians make the best treatment decisions as soon as possible!
At the 2020 World Lung Cancer Conference, Professor Goto Koichi of the National Cancer Center of Japan reported the latest research progress of the Asian Individualized Medical Cancer Gene Screening Project (LC-SCRUM-Asia), and shared the PCR multigene detection product from , a well-known Chinese molecular diagnosis company, Aid Bio .
vs. similar NGS product data in the United States, the PCR multigene detection product from Aid Bio not only detects accurately (the consistent rate with the US NGS product is as high as more than 97%), but also has a shorter detection cycle of (3 days vs 5-17 days), and a higher detection success rate of (97% vs 75%).For this reason, this PCR multigene detection product created from China was approved for marketing in Japan and included in Japan's medical insurance, successfully replacing the local clinically used NGS products.
With the continuous improvement of "molecular diagnosis speed" and "targeted treatment accuracy", the cancer diagnosis and treatment technology at the speed of China has been advancing rapidly. We are pleased to see that cancer is developing in a direction that can be prevented, cured and curable.
