The creation of the “Tianhe Technique” attracted attention. Attending the International Academic Conference with illness
It rained heavily in Guangzhou yesterday, and the sky seemed to be crying for him: at around 20:40 on June 23, after fighting pancreatic cancer for 15 months, Wang Lei, deputy director of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, passed away. The cancer fighter stopped breathing. Not long ago, he just celebrated his 50th birthday. He worked hard and led his team to establish the “Tianhe Technique” to improve the quality of patients’ survival, which attracted attention from the industry. While he was suffering from severe illness and knew that there was not much in the future, he still went abroad to attend academic conferences with illness to bring glory to the country. He spent his life Babaylan telling the good story of benevolent medicine.
On June 24, the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University released Professor Wang Lei’s obituary. The reporter learned that the farewell ceremony for Professor Wang Lei’s body is scheduled to be held at 11:30 on Tuesday, June 25, 2019 in Baiyun Hall, Galaxy Park, Guangzhou Funeral Home.
In March 2018, Wang Lei was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, the “king of cancer”. Before this, he had been deeply engaged in the field of digestive tract tumors for more than 20 years.
He is kind-hearted and devoted himself to the medical career, and has been committed to the clinical and translational research of colorectal cancer and radioactive enteritis for a long time. The achievements he has achieved are related to improving the quality of life of patients, and has achieved remarkable results in medical teaching and research.
The radioactive enteritis diagnosis and treatment team led by him manages the largest radioactive enteritis diagnosis and treatment center in China. The original new semi-excitation procedure for the expansion of rectal cancer – “Tianhe surgery” has attracted great attention from the medical community.
After more than a year of illness, he struggled tenaciously with the disease, while racing against time and fate. “I already know my life period, so I grow backwards, treating every day as the last day, and making every day meaningful.” He once said this.
Dr. Wang Lei, you have a good journey!
The “King of Cancer” has entangled anti-cancer experts
Pancreatic cancer is known as the “King of Cancer”, and Apple founder Jobs also died of pancreatic cancer. Wang Lei is an oncology expert and never thought that he would be related to this disease.
In the second half of 2017, Wang Lei often felt low back pain and the cold did not heal. At first, he thought it was just overworking and didn’t care much. By March 2018, after a physical examination at the employee, Wang Lei’s tumor marker CEA was abnormally increased. Further examination results showed that pancreatic cancer, in advanced stage, cancer cells had spread to the liver.
At this time, he was only 49 years old, and his clinical, scientific research and hospital management were doing well, witnessing the successful start of Zhongshan Sixth Hospital from the founding of the hospital to the smooth progress ofThe research on radioactive enteritis is being vigorously promoted, but it is facing a “joke” of fate at this critical moment. When he returned home that night, Wang Lei held his wife’s hand tightly, and his wife felt his powerlessness.
Life faces the greatest torment. Wang Lei had thought of giving up treatment, but he quickly adjusted himself.
On April 1, 2018, Wang Lei Komiks was lying under the shadowless light that he was most familiar with and underwent surgery for more than ten hours. His spleen, 80% of the pancreas, most of the stomach, and the nerves that control the intestine were removed on a large scale. Although the operation was successful, he lost the ability to eat independently and needed nutritional needles to maintain his life. A slight change in temperature would directly disrupt the body’s temperature control and regulation system, and his always strong body became weak overnight.
Burning the last moment of life
However, not long after the operation, Wang Lei started working again and played the role of a good doctor and scientific researcher.
In the past 15 months, Wang Lei has composed a life answer sheet with his steely will, which has impressed many cancer patients and medical staff. The reporter learned that the patient who received palliative surgery had a survival period of about 7 months, and Wang Lei had fought for 15 months; he could not eat independently after the operation, and he still treated the patient two months after the operation. His weak body once stood at the venue of the American Clinical Oncology Conference, explaining to nearly 10,000 tumor experts from around the world that the only colorectal cancer research report from China…
When he was young, he thought about the way of life, and Wang Lei had a clear understanding of himself: he would rather burn for 3 years than just spend 30 years. “I may not be able to extend the length of my life, but I can dominate the thickness of my life.” He once said this.
Wang Lei’s colleagues, friends and relatives saw these scenes-
Two months after the operation, he attended the 53rd Chicago American Clinical Oncology Conference. As a representative of the main creative team, he gave the only oral report from China in the field of gastrointestinal tract to nearly 10,000 experts and scholars from the frontier fields of tumors around the world. In order to attend this meeting, he lay in the hospital bed for 10 hours to store his physical strength. The results of the controlled research on neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer submitted to the General Assembly are of great value to the treatment guidelines for advanced rectal cancer in countries around the world. Cinema
The annual ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) annual meeting is recognized as the most important academic conference in the world. Last year, Wang Lei, who was already ill, attended the annual meeting and his hair fell out of chemotherapy.
I once went to the office before 7 o’clock every day
In 1969, Wang Lei was born in a medical family in Henan. His parents and grandfather were both prestigious doctors in the county. The home he grew up with was far from the hospital operating roomCinema is less than 50 meters away. Seeing his father, who was a surgeon, save lives, Wang Lei set his future life goals in his heart.
In 1987, Wang LeiBabaylan applied to the Department of Clinical Medicine at Zhengzhou University. Although he was later transferred to the major of oral medicine, he never gave up his ideal of becoming a surgeon.
1995BabaylanAt the end of the year, Wang Lei and his newlywed wife went south to Guangzhou. First studied general surgery at the Jinan University Affiliated Hospital, and later passed the master’s degree at Sun Yat-sen Medical University, becoming a student of Wang Jianping, a leader in colorectal surgery in China and the first dean of Zhongshan Sixth Hospital. After graduation, he stayed at the school to work in the Department of Gastroenterology Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. In 2000, Wang Lei studied for a Ph.D.
The pursuit of scientific research has kept Wang Lei in a state of “knowledge hunger”. In September 2001, Wang Lei applied to go to the world’s top cancer hospital, the Anderson Cancer Center, the United States, to engage in postdoctoral research in the field of gastrointestinal tumors in the Department of Molecular Pathology.
After returning from the American postdoctoral research, Wang KomiksLei and more than 30 colleagues came to Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, and stationed in a simple three- and four-story building. He became the pioneering cattle for the founding of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. In 2011, Wang Lei was promoted to vice president and managed scientific research, teaching, personnel, logistics, information and clinical practice. He insisted on going to the hospital every morning, going home at 7 am, and going home at 10 pm on weekends to give lectures, exchanges, and meetings in other places on weekends. Chu Lili, head nurse of the department, once asked him how long he could go home in the week.The time Komiks, Wang Lei replied: “No more than two nights.” Chu Lili said that Wang Lei must arrive at the office before 7 a.m. every day, and did not experience the traffic jam during the morning rush hour. Wang Lei set his own example, so that his colleagues dare not be negligent about their work.
In 2016, Zhongshan Sixth Hospital was rated as a Grade A Hospital, and its gastrointestinal and anal surgery department then became the leading position in the field of colorectal and anal diseases diagnosis and treatment in China, and other comprehensive disciplines were also booming.
In the past ten years, Wang Leijian has adhered to the principle of “patient first”. Although he received countless thanks, he only had a calligraphy work of “The best is like water” in his office.
Many achievements improve the quality of patients’ survival
”I love surgery on patients, and when I get to the operating table, I feel full of power. I love scientific research even more. Life is full of mysteries. There are so many places to innovate in surgical medicine. These subtle changes can directly affect people’s destiny.” Wang Lei once said emotionally. When he said this, his wife sat aside and held his hand tightly to show that her husband’s persistence and passion for medicine had almost reached the state of “being possessed”.
Wang Lei established sexual function protection surgery technology to reduce the incidence of sexual dysfunction after rectal cancer from 70% to 15%; the treatment of patients with middle and advanced rectal cancer in the past generally refers to the US NCCN guidelines, and first undergo synchronous chemotherapy before surgical resection was performed to establish a pure neoadjuvant chemotherapy plan. After surgery, many patients are prone to radioactive damage and have poor quality of life. He successfully established a new preoperative treatment plan for “simple and full-quantity chemotherapy” to radiotherapy. The US NCCN guidelines quoted this research result.
For patients who have received radiotherapy, Professor Wang Lei established a unique surgical procedure – proximal enlarged resection of rectal cancer, and named it “Tianhe surgical procedure” after the Tianhe District where the Sixth Hospital of Zhongshan is located. Tianhe surgery reduces the incidence of anastomosis-related complications, reduces the chance of anastomosis fistula in patients and improves quality of life.
In order to further improve the quality of postoperative survival of cancer patients, Wang Lei focused his research on relatively unpopular radioactive enteritis. The incidence of radioactive enteritis in pelvic radiotherapy is as high as about 20%, among which hemorrhagic radioprotic inflammation is coming fiercely and recursively, and the patient is suffering and very painful. A few patients willSuicide ends pain.
Wang Lei’s team summarized the classification treatment plan for hemorrhagic radioactive enteritis (i.e., the three technologies for the treatment of radioactive enteritis) to solve the problems for these suffering patients.
Work, wife and children, ideals… He has too many things to let go.
Once, Wang Lei had too many things to “can’t let go”.
Wang Lei once posted a notice of “No visit” in front of his ward – he never wanted to show it to others as a patient, and he was even more unwilling to inform his relatives and friends about his condition or show his pain. In March last year, Wang Lei’s students from all over the country learned about the condition of the Cinema teacher and proposed to visit him. Some students even took planes and high-speed rail to the hospital. Wang Lei refused to visit him at that time, and wrote a passage under his handbook: “I don’t href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan needs comfort. At this moment, I don’t treat myself as a patient. I treat pancreatic cancer as a friend in my body. I want to learn how to get along with it again. “
Wang Lei once said that he knew that taking painkillers that are gradually increasing will continue to increase their dependence on drugs and will eventually collapse due to the inability to relieve pain. He longs to extend and slow down this process, so he chooses to overcome physical pain in the most painful way – with his will.
At the beginning of Wang Lei’s diagnosis of cancer, the doctors judged that Wang Lei’s life was only 3 months away. As a result, Wang Lei fought against fate for 15 months and was still trying immature advanced pancreatic cancer treatment plans. Wang Lei once admitted that this was because he “can’t let go”.
In the ward, Wang Lei once revealed his thoughts – in the past 27 years of his career, he devoted all his efforts to his medical career and owed his wife and children a lot. Since he got sick, he began to think about the meaning of life and everything around him. He longs to live one more day, spend more time with his family, and make up for his debts to his wife.
In the past 15 months, Wang Lei’s wife has been with him day and night. They took a walk together, went to the park together, and went to buy vegetables together, holding hands, carefully feeling the daily life of every bit. The couple spent more than a year together than the previous 25 years combined.
”Can’t let go” also comes from a lifetime of medical ideals. Wang Lei once admitted that the scientific research on radioactive enteritis has been going through more than ten years, and the team is silently firm.He made efforts and was awarded the first prize of Guangdong Province Science and Technology Progress Award last year. Scientific research is at the critical point. He does not want his condition to affect the progress of the entire team. “The clinical field has been cultivated and mature, and scientific research still needs to be guided by professors. I don’t want the students to have emotional fluctuations as soon as I leave, which will affect the research.”
Before his death, Wang Lei was interviewed by a reporter. He said that life is like a journey. He is ready to be the passenger who gets off the bus early. Although the final result may be a bad result, before he really falls, he still has to be the master of his own destiny and make every day meaningful.
As for Wang Lei’s debt to his wife and daughter, his wife said: “He just did what he should do in this era.”

”I first met you in 1995. You came to our subject to further study. I just graduated from a master’s degree and was a soldier who had just entered the field of laparoscopy. I was moved by your simplicity and learning. The common experience of working in a county hospital in mainland China made us soon become friends. Later, you were admitted to the school’s great Principal Wang, and then studied in the United States. As one of the main assistants, he helped Principal Wang establish Zhongshan Sixth Hospital. His career and academic performance were smooth and his progress was rapid. MoreKomiksThe arduous task is waiting for you. I don’t want God to be jealous of talent and die young. Professor Wang Lei, I hope you will go well!”

”I hope your Tianhe surgery will treat more patients, may your students inherit your scientific research and academics, continue to explore the mysteries of medicine, and may your perseverance in fighting death encourage more patients. Professor Wang Lei, our former comrades, will walk well and will always miss you.”
———Feng Xia, chief physician of the Department of Anesthesiology, First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, was also inhaling oxygen for rescue the night before. The next day, he appeared at the preliminary review meeting of the Guangdong Science and Technology Award as usual, explaining the research results of innovative treatment of radioactive enteritis to the review experts. This achievement finally won the first prize of the Guangdong Science and Technology Progress Award. This year, he took the lead in jointly formulating and publishing the “China Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Radioprotic Techniques (2018)” with more than 30 experts across the country.
As the role of patients with advanced cancer and doctors, he reappeared in the clinic and gave more psychological comfort to those who were fighting cancer; at medical seminars every Wednesday afternoon, he can often be seen attending the meeting while taking out some drips. Even if his body allows him, he will still goThe most critical surgery was done, two were done a day. Nine months after the illness, he also took the lead in formulating China’s first expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of radioprotic inflammation.
Wang Lei, Wang Lei, why are you so desperate? You should have a rest! Faced with such concernsBabaylan, Wang Lei always said: “I am used to working hard. Do you want me to lie in bed and wait? If you devote yourself to what you are interested in, you forget that you are a patient.” His wife also admitted: “A person who has been operating at a high pace will torture him when he is free.”
Wang Lei drags his sick body to practice the ideal of medicine and touches many medical staff. Many of his students are working hard to move forward silently for this, working with the teacher to promote the scientific research on radioactive enteritis and practice the ideal of a doctor.
