Chapter 683 Restriction on Departure
Bad luck may be contagious.
The last advanced cancer patient who made an appointment through Ning'an Hospital also arrived at the central building in the morning.
Yu Zhiming checked thoroughly and made a very regrettable discovery.
This patient's liver was in a terrible state due to cancerous metastasis through the blood.
This so-called hematogenous metastasis is a way for cancer to metastasize, that is, cancer cells enter the blood circulation and are transferred to distant organs or tissues in the body through the blood circulation.
The liver and lungs have abundant blood flow and are the two organs most susceptible to hematogenous metastasis of cancer.
In addition to this hematogenous metastasis pathway, cancer has three other metastatic pathways.
For example, lymph node metastasis.
That is, cancer cells enter the lymphatic circulation. Like the blood circulation, the lymphatic circulation is also spread throughout the body.
Cancer cells can also metastasize to distant organs or tissues in the body through the lymphatic circulation.
Another example is direct invasion and infiltration.
Tumor cells can directly invade adjacent organs or tissues, and in this way metastasize to adjacent organs and parts to continue growing.
Another type of metastasis is implantation. The most typical example of metastasis is gastric cancer, where gastric cancer cells break off and implant in the abdominal cavity, where they grow and form metastases.
Among the various cancer metastasis pathways, hematogenous metastasis is the most common, followed by lymphatic metastasis, and the least common is implantation metastasis.
Yu Zhiming found that four of the patient's five liver lobes had metastatic cancer of varying degrees.
In addition to the patient's already severe liver cirrhosis, his liver surgery index was even much lower than that of the husband of the cancer-stricken couple in Ning'an Hospital.
Yu Zhiming truthfully informed the patient of his condition and made it clear that his cancer treatment plan was not suitable for the patient...
After Yu Zhiming sent away the patient and his family, who were once again in despair, he was blocked in the corridor by head nurse Zhan Qi and dragged to a deserted and secluded area.
"Doctor Yu, we checked the corridor surveillance video. It turns out that a male patient from Ward 411 sneaked into Ward 409."
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and said, "As long as it's not the medical staff of our center, it will be much easier to handle."
"Hey, how do you usually handle this kind of thing?"
Zhan Qi blinked and said softly, "As the saying goes, less trouble is worse than more trouble. Generally speaking, if the patients in the same ward don't complain, and they are acting secretly and not doing anything too excessive, we just pretend we didn't notice."
"Of course, if this behavior has a significant impact on the patient's own treatment and recovery, the attending physician will emphasize the taboos in the next day's medical instructions."
"Whether the patients listen or not is their business."
Yu Zhiming said softly, separated from Zhan Qi, and returned to the big office. He was surprised to see Dr. Tang Jianxiong from the oncology department, who had come in at some point, coming up to him with an excited look on his face.
"Doctor Yu, we succeeded. We succeeded."
Doctor Tang handed a test report to Yu Zhiming and said happily, "This is the tumor marker test and analysis data for patient Tang. It just came out today."
"The concentrations of several of its tumor markers have dropped below normal values. This means that all the cancer cells in the patient's body have been eliminated."
Yu Zhiming looked at the test analysis report in his hand and glanced at the several data specially marked with a symbol pen.
Tumor markers are often used as early screening tests for cancer. However, due to their low accuracy, they are generally used as auxiliary diagnosis for cancer in clinical practice.
However, doctors have found another very important role of tumor markers.
After a patient is diagnosed with a tumor, the concentration of tumor markers is used to monitor the efficacy of treatment and to preliminarily determine whether the tumor has recurred or metastasized.
After Yu Zhiming looked at the encouraging data on the test report, Dr. Tang's voice rang in his ears again.
"Doctor Yu, this test report proves that the cancer treatment plan you led is a truly feasible one."
"Doctor Yu, you succeeded."
To be honest, Yu Zhiming was still quite excited, but not to the point of being carried away by success.
Because he understands that one test doesn't mean anything.
Yu Zhiming took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down a bit, and said with a smile, "Doctor Tang, this is indeed an exciting test report."
"Just because the data has returned to normal doesn't mean the patient's cancer cells have been completely eliminated."
"Even if it's completely eradicated at this point, it doesn't mean the patient won't relapse a few months, a year, or three years later."
"Doctor Tang, this is a long and arduous task."
Doctor Tang also calmed down a bit and said with a smile, "Doctor Yu, you are so steady that you don't even seem like a young person. Even I, who have lived for decades, am ashamed."
"Indeed, we still have a long way to go and we shouldn't be too proud of this small piece of good news."
After a pause, Dr. Tang continued, "Dr. Yu, late next month, the World Cancer Alliance will hold a medical seminar in Thailand."
"In addition to cancer experts from around the world sharing and exchanging cancer treatment experiences, there will also be demonstrations of the world's most advanced cancer treatment technologies, new anti-cancer drugs, and more."
"Doctor Yu, are you interested?"
"I received an invitation to the conference and can bring no more than two people with me."
this……
Yu Zhiming was indeed very tempted.
If there are suitable anti-cancer technologies and new anti-cancer drugs, they can enrich his treatment plan.
Just the thought of flying abroad, the night's rest, and the busy work...
Yu Zhiming sighed softly and said, "Doctor Tang, I probably don't have time to leave."
"Doctor Tang, please take the trouble to collect some information about the conference and tell us about it when you come back."
Doctor Tang nodded and said, "This is what I should do. It's not hard at all."
After a pause, he continued, "Doctor Yu, I very much look forward to you standing on the podium at the World Anti-Cancer Congress in a few years, proudly announcing the results of your cancer treatment research."
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "Doctor Tang, I also look forward to that day coming soon..."
It was almost lunchtime when Zhou Mo came running back.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you all morning."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "I went to the neonatal treatment center first and checked on the child. His condition has stabilized a lot."
"I also assisted Yu Zhen with the hospitalization procedures for the Trauma Surgery Department and arranged for him to have a responsible and reputable caregiver."
Yu Zhiming was curious and asked, "Accompanying?"
"His family didn't come? After the operation, he won't be able to take care of himself for a while."
Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "Yu Zhen said that he didn't tell his family because he wanted to give them a big surprise after he recovered."
Yu Zhiming frowned and said, "Who will sign his surgery consent form? With such a long operation, there is still a possibility of unexpected risks."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "Well, I'll sign for him as a friend."
Yu Zhiming laughed.
"Zhou Mo, Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone. He is confessing his feelings to you in disguise."
Zhou Mo's expression changed and he said seriously, "I've already told him that I just treat him as a respected senior."
"I agreed to sign for him this time, but only reluctantly after he kept asking me to do so."
"Who made me so kind and warm-hearted in the first place?"
Yu Zhiming sighed softly and walked towards the door.
"Let's go have lunch..."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the central building, they ran into Wei Hao from the Municipal Bureau.
"Looking for me?"
Wei Hao nodded, then took Yu Zhiming to a sheltered place where they were safe from eavesdroppers.
"Here, your passport!"
Yu Zhiming took the passport handed to him, looked through it, and found that it was indeed his.
"I didn't remember applying for a passport."
Yu Zhiming thought of something else and asked, "Hey, this time, you won't ask me to go abroad to help you with the case, right?"
Wei Hao suddenly said in a serious tone, "On the contrary, Comrade Yu Zhiming, you are restricted from leaving the country."
"What do you mean?" Yu Zhiming was a little confused.
Seeing that Yu Zhiming wasn't frightened, Wei Hao chuckled and said, "Doctor Yu, your restriction on leaving the country is completely different from other people's restriction on leaving the country."
"Those people were restricted from leaving the country because they were afraid they might escape. As for you, you're too important, like a national treasure, so you're restricted for protection."
Wei Hao further explained: "Restrictions do not mean a complete ban. If you need to travel abroad, you can still apply for a visa as usual."
"However, the relevant departments will conduct a comprehensive verification and risk assessment of your application to go abroad."
"I will only approve it if I'm sure you're not in danger."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Officer Wei, from what you said, it sounds like I'll be kidnapped if I go abroad."
Wei Hao said seriously, "That's it."
"Last night, we received a report that someone was trying to lure you abroad under the guise of attending a foreign medical seminar."
"We conducted an overnight investigation and found that the man had connections with foreign intelligence organizations."
Yu Zhiming was slightly startled and said, "Holy crap! Someone really wants to do something bad to me!"
He said nervously, "Hey, um, um, this morning, Dr. Tang Jianxiong from the Oncology Department invited me to go to Thailand to attend the World Cancer Alliance Medical Seminar?"
Wei Hao said in a deep voice, "Doctor Tang Jianxiong? We will investigate to see if there is any problem."
The next moment, he turned and said, "Doctor Yu, the psychiatrist you mentioned last time."
"We found out that before she returned to China, she was indeed a licensed psychologist at New York-Presbyterian Hospital."
"But we haven't found any evidence that she was involved in the murder of her father by his step-wife and son."
Yu Zhiming reminded: "A good psychologist can influence other people's thoughts and behaviors through psychological induction, suggestion, and hypnosis."
Wei Hao nodded and said, "We know this as well, so we're still digging deep to find clues and evidence that she's involved in the case..."
