Tang Zhaoyou was born in 1930 and was born in Xinhui, Guangdong. He is a famous tumor surgeon in my country, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a founder of the research on liver cancer , and a director, professor and doctoral supervisor of the Institute of Liver Cancer of Fudan University.
Academician Tang has been engaged in cancer research since the 1960s, especially in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. He was the first internationally to conduct a systematic study of small liver cancer . The new concept of "subclinical liver cancer" was also first proposed by Academician Tang. He also edited the English version of the monograph "subclinical liver cancer". International authorities in hepatology believe that this concept is a major progress in human understanding and treatment of liver cancer. It doubled the 5-year survival rate of patients after surgical resection of liver cancer to 70%, transforming liver cancer from an "incurable disease" to a "partially curable disease", and won the first prize of national scientific and technological progress.
Later, it was invested in the "research on metastasis and recurrence of liver cancer" and made significant progress. He served as the chairman of the liver cancer conference of the International Cancer Conference twice, delivered theme reports at international conferences more than 90 times, and served as the chairman of the Shanghai International Hepatocellular Carcinoma Hepatitis Conference 7 times. Academician Tang not only achieved remarkable achievements in the treatment of cancer, but also had a very unique understanding of the occurrence of cancer.
Academician Tang’s 3 words said about cancer, I will share with you.
First sentence: While doctors treat cancer, people are constantly creating cancer.
Academician Tang said that cancer has now become people’s number one “health killer”. Although cancer treatment has made great progress, there are too many factors that cause cancer in modern society, including environmental pollution, water pollution, food pollution and air pollution, etc.; there are also bad lifestyles, such as lack of exercise, sitting for a long time, smoking, alcoholism, etc. Academician Tang believes that cancer is impossible to eliminate, at most it is just controlled.
Second sentence: Surgical treatment is a double-edged sword, don’t take surgery easily.
Academician Tang, who is good at liver cancer resection surgery, has also been studying the relationship between surgery and "cancer metastasis and recurrence". Through research, he found that routine surgical anti-cancer methods are a "double-edged sword". Surgery is one of the main treatments for cancer at present, but if it is palliative resection, it may have a "counterproductive" effect because this method will promote the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. Academician Tang said that as a doctor who focuses on cancer, we need to reflect on the relationship between surgery, chemotherapy and cancer cell metastasis, and we must pay more attention to the role of systemic comprehensive treatment.
The third sentence: Integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine requires mutual efforts.
How to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine? Academician Tang Zhaoyou believes that traditional Chinese medicine is science because it has efficacy and theory. For example, " Huangdi Neijing " is a theory, and reality proves that traditional Chinese medicine is also very effective in treating cancer, and it also has advantages in some aspects. Integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine requires mutual efforts. Western medicine can learn some Chinese philosophy, so that we can better understand traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine, especially some traditional Chinese medicine classics such as the "Huangdi Neijing", should be expressed in modern language, so that they have a common language with Western medicine.
During the process of combining, we must avoid the Westernization of traditional Chinese medicine, and we must also prevent the Westernization of traditional Chinese medicine. Academician Tang Zhaoyou said that the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine requires long-term "walking on two legs" in order to gradually achieve complementarity and coordination.
Tang Zhaoyou pays special attention to the cultivation of talents. He believes that no matter how good a person is, his energy and ability are limited, and a person cannot perform surgery on every patient. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate a team with both moral integrity and ability. For this reason, he is very concerned about the growth of young people and has cultivated a large number of outstanding students.
Academician Tang wrote his lifelong experience into a monograph: "The War to Control Cancer, Not the War to Anti-Cancer".
