Chapter 134 Tumor Location
The doctor briefly explained Mr. Liu's condition to Su Jinhui. As soon as he finished speaking, the young man standing next to him changed his expression. "Doctor Wang, when you last examined my father, didn't you say this tumor might be benign? It's only been half a month. Could it have worsened?"
"Is a tumor benign or malignant? It's actually not something we can tell with the naked eye. It requires sophisticated instruments. It's best to be able to remove a tumor specimen and send it for pathological examination. Only then can we know whether the tumor is benign or malignant."
"But if we do this, we still need surgery. The key is that we can't determine the location of the tumor. This location may not be easy to find, and it may be very tricky."
After Su Jinhui briefly reviewed the case, she examined Mr. Liu's body. There were some sophisticated instruments in his home. It seemed that the country also attached great importance to Mr. Liu, otherwise they would not have spent a lot of money to put these instruments in his room.
After a series of examinations, everyone was optimistic about Su Jinhui. However, some doctors also felt that Su Jinhui was so young, and they didn't know how much talent she had or whether she was just a pretty face.
One of the younger doctors couldn't help but say to Su Jinhui, "Doctor Su, you've been examining for an hour now. Have you found anything?"
"What we can confirm about this tumor is that it may be present in the brain stem, but its exact location is still unknown."
"Besides, these are the results of the examination. You don't need to look at them for so long, right?"
Doctor Wang, who had just handed the medical records to Su Jinhui, was quite patient. He said on Su Jinhui's behalf, "Doctor Su has just taken over such a complicated case, so it's normal for the examination to take a little longer."
"Besides, the fact that she was able to give a presentation at a medical university shows that she must be quite capable. Otherwise, the cases she worked on previously wouldn't have been so realistic and would have been questioned by others. We should give her some time."
From this sentence, we can see that Dr. Wang should be an old doctor who values talents very much. He must have some beloved disciples.
Hearing this, the young doctor who had just spoken did not speak again.
After the examination, Su Jinhui carefully reviewed the retaken film and pointed to a certain spot. "Look, this spot is blurry, so I can almost conclude that the tumor is growing here. However, it's close to important blood vessels and nerves, and it's basically next to the brain nerves. If you operate rashly and your hands are shaky, there's a high chance of an accident."
After hearing what Su Jinhui said, everyone came to her side, surrounded her, and observed the condition of the film in her hand.
"Really? Why didn't we notice this place before?"
The doctors had a heated discussion. Unexpectedly, Su Jinhui found the location of the tumor, which they had been unable to find, in just one hour.
In fact, it was not the case. After looking at the films they had taken before, Su Jinhui had almost determined the location of the tumor in her mind. She was just conducting a more in-depth examination, worried that she would miss any part of Mr. Liu's body that might be dangerous.
After half an hour of intense discussion, Su Jinhui's discovery was sent to top foreign oncologists as quickly as possible.
In less than an hour, the experts there gave a reply, unanimously determining that the location was too dangerous and the surgical risk was close to 100%, and recommended conservative treatment.
The risk of surgery is close to 100%, which is equivalent to giving this person a death sentence. There is only one outcome for this person, and that is to wait for death slowly.
This is what conservative treatment means.
After hearing this, Mr. Liu's son could no longer contain himself. He was wearing a well-fitting suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and he looked like a government administrator.
He appeared polite and gentle, but when he heard that Mr. Liu was in such great danger, he panicked like a child who had done something wrong.
"How could this be? Doctor Wang, you're an oncologist. You've published authoritative papers on cancer research at international forums. My father's cancer shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
"You've been monitoring my dad's health for six months. Why didn't you intervene earlier when you discovered the tumor? Now that it's been delayed to this point, and the risk of surgery has increased to 100%, isn't that tantamount to saying my dad has no chance of survival?"
When he said this, there was a hint of anger on his face.
However, Su Jinhui actually felt a little wronged for the doctors. First of all, they did not know the specific location of the tumor at the time, they only knew that it existed in the brain. But in this era, craniotomy is not mature enough, and there is not so much experimental data.
It's normal that they don't dare to use the knife.
As for why we don't intervene early, it's because some tumors are benign and may not pose any threat to the human body even if they live in the brain.
In addition, she had just seen Mr. Liu's medical record, which stated that he was already sixty years old, ten years older than the previous leader.
The risks of craniotomy are too great for him, and I might not dare to do it if I were in his shoes.
Doctor Wang sighed. "It's not that we don't want to do this surgery, but the risks are too great. You just heard it. Even those foreign experts say this location is too dangerous. Even though I've performed so many craniotomies, I'm honestly not completely confident. Furthermore, the risks are so great. If you really ask me, I only have one possibility."
layer!
The light in Mr. Liu's son's eyes gradually dimmed. He clenched his fists and looked at his father with tears in his eyes.
"Is there no other chance?"
Su Jinhui was also somewhat moved by this scene of deep love between father and son, but she was more moved by a sense of responsibility. As a doctor, she could not watch a patient die in front of her, and she understood that conservative treatment meant that Mr. Liu's life was entering a countdown.
"Doctor Su, since Director Shen asked you to come, you must have some outstanding qualities. Could you please analyze my father's condition? How confident do you think you are in this operation?"
Mr. Liu's son turned his attention to Su Jinhui, and so did the other doctors.
She is the youngest of all the doctors present and also a woman. If you want to know why there are so many male doctors on the operating table, it is because of two words: physical strength.
