He is a doctor with pancreatic cancer. He is still receiving treatment after the operation. For 13 months, he has been fighting for good people in Guangzhou. The civilian heroes around Guangzhou people. Pancreatic cancer is called the “king” of cancer. The patient’s survival is very short and it is the only disease with a disease with a incidence of nearly 1:1 and a death toll. In March last year, Wang Lei, deputy director of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, who has devoted his life to fighting against colorectal cancer, was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer and cancer cells have spread to the liver.
For this “verdict” that is almost equivalent to lifeCinema‘s about to end, Wang Lei has composed a life answer sheet with his steely will in the past 13 months, which has impressed many cancer patients and doctors on the front line: the patient who undergoes palliative surgery has a survival period of about 7 months, and Wang Lei has fought for 13 months; he can no longer eat independently after the operation, and he still treats the patients two months after the operation, and stands with a weak body at the US Clinical Oncology Conference, explaining to nearly 10,000 tumor experts from around the world that the only colorectal cancer report from China in the digestive tract field…
Cancer cells did not let go. At present, cancer cells have been found to have made a comeback. At such a time of life and death, Wang Lei recently accepted an interview with a reporter and disclosed his mental journey. He admitted that before he really fell down, the meaning of living every day still needs to be dominated by himself.

As the end of March 2018, Wang Lei, who often felt back pain and colds for a long time, found abnormally high tumor marker CEA during the physical examination of Komiks in hospital staff. This expert who has been engaged in gastrointestinal tumor research for a long time immediately href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks has a bad Komiks‘s premonition,a href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks Further systemic examination revealed that pancreatic cancer, in the advanced stage, cancer cells have spread to the liver.
This year, he was only 49 years old, and his clinical, scientific research, and hospital management were doing well, witnessing the successful arrival of Zhongshan Sixth Hospital since its inception. The innovative achievements of radioactive enteritis are being promoted, but at this critical moment, they are facing a “joke” of fate.
When he returned home that night, Wang Lei held his wife’s hand tightly, and a bottomless abyss seemed to appear in front of him, and a sense of powerlessness spread across the iron man.
2018Cinema On April 1, 2018, after lying in the operating room for more than ten hours, Wang Lei’s spleen, 80% of the pancreas, most of the stomach and nerves controlling the intestine were removed on a large scale. Although he woke up successfully through the operation, a new life that he had never experienced in fifty years was waiting for him: he lost the ability to eat independently and needed nutritional needles to maintain his life. A slight temperature change would directly disrupt the body’s temperature control and regulation system. His body, which had always been as strong as a cow, suddenly became weak. “I might not be able to prolong the length of my life, but I can dominate the thickness of my life.” When I was young, I thought about the way of living in my life. Wang Lei had a clear understanding of himself: I would rather burn for three years than just spend thirty years.
So, two months after the operation, he dragged his weak body and fought against the raging cancer cells in his body anytime and anywhere. Wang Lei reappeared in the clinic and scientific research conference room. He even went to the review table for innovative treatment of radioactive enteritis and went further internationally.
In the past 13 months, Wang Lei’s life has been accelerating:
Two months after the operation, he lie down on the hospital bed for ten hours to store his physical strength. He went to the 53rd Chicago American Clinical Oncology Conference. As a representative of the 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 world’s frontier tumors. This controlled study on neoadjuvant treatment of local advanced rectal cancer is of great value to the treatment guidelines for advanced rectal cancer in various countries around the world;
The night before, he was also in the rescue of oxygen inhalation. The next day, he appeared at the preliminary review meeting of the Guangdong Science and Technology Award as usual, explaining the radioactive intestines to the review expertsThis achievement was the first prize of the Guangdong Science and Technology Progress Award. This year, he led the development of the “China Expert Consensus for Diagnosis and Treatment of Radioprotic Activitis (2018)” with more than 30 experts across the country;
He acted as a patient with advanced cancer and a doctor with Cinema, and he reappeared in the clinic to give more psychological comfort to those on the road to anti-cancer; at medical seminars every Wednesday afternoon, Komiks often saw him attending the meeting while taking out some drips.
Wang Lei dragged his sick body to practice the ideal of medicine instantly touched many doctors. Many of his medical students moved forward silently for this, and worked with the teacher to promote the scientific research on radioactive enteritis and practice the ideal of doctors.
Being a doctor who can change the fate of patients
Returned from the American postdoctoral research, Wang Lei and more than 30 colleagues came to Tianhe District in 2007, stationed in a simple three- or four-story building, becoming one of the pioneering cattle in the founding of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.
”I love surgery. As soon as I go to the operating table, 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 said emotionally. Sitting aside and holding her husband’s hand tightly, the wife said that her husband’s persistence and passion for medicine had almost reached the state of “being possessed by evil spirits”.
This decades of dedication has made Wang Lei truly a doctor who can change the fate of patients. He and his teacher, Wang Jianping, the first president of Zhongshan Sixth Hospital, executive vice president of Sun Yat-sen University, and academician of the Royal Academy of Surgery in England, determined the new standard for anal protection surgery for rectal cancer with anal protection of 2 cm from the tooth line, and wrote it into the seventh edition of the national unified textbook “Surgery”; the sexual function protection surgical technology they established has reduced the incidence of sexual dysfunction after rectal cancer from 70% to 15%; the treatment of patients with middle and late stage rectal cancer is generally referred to the US NCCN guidelines, and preoperative synchronous chemotherapy was performed before surgical resection to create a simple neoadjuvant chemotherapy plan. Many patients are prone to undergoing Babaylan treatment. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks has been radioactively damaged and has poor quality of life. They have successfully established a new preoperative “simple full-quantity chemotherapy” and radiotherapy treatment plan.ef=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan, the US NCCN Guidelines cite this research.
For patients who have received radiotherapy, Professor Wang Lei established a unique surgical procedure – proximal enlarged resection of rectal cancer, and named it “Tianhe Surgery” after Tianhe District where Zhongshan Sixth Hospital is located. Tianhe surgery reduces the incidence of anastomosis-related complications, reduces the chance of anastomosis fistula in patients, and improves survival dignity. In order to further improve the quality of postoperative survival of cancer patients, Wang Lei has 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. The patients are suffering from the pain and are very painful. A small number of patients are in pain and end up committing suicide for a while. 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 painful patients.
Wang Lei—
Make every day meaningful
On the day of agreeing to be interviewed, Wang Lei’s physical condition was not ideal. Just a few hours before the interview, he was lying in bed to store energy and felt that his physical condition was very good Komiks was not good. He clearly felt that the body’s temperature control system could no longer be adjusted independently and he was sleeping in the hospital bed with a fever. After listening to her husband’s story in tears, the wife beside her admitted that it was not easy for her to say these experiences, “We don’t want to be celebrities who are paid attention to.” However, Wang Lei, who is a doctor and treats cancer patients all his life, thought that this experience might give positive meaning to the same cancer patients. He still chose to struggle from the hospital bed and told it for more than two hours in the case of a fever.
Why are you a patient with advanced cancer and still have to work so hard? “If a person is unacceptable to what is about to happen, it will only make himself and the people around him very painful.” Wang Lei said that life is like a journey, and he is ready to make that offer.Passengers who got off the bus a little earlier may face a bad result in the end, but before they really fall, they still have to be the masters of their own destiny and make every day meaningful.
