He is a doctor with pancreatic cancer. He still receives treatment after the operation. He has been fighting for 13 months.
Looking for good people in Guangzhou
Civil heroes around Guangzhou
Panic 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 the end of life, Wang Lei has composed a life answer sheet with his steely will over 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 two months after the operation, he still treated Komiks patients, and stood at the American Clinical Oncology Conference with a weak body, explaining to nearly 10,000 tumor experts from around the world, the only colorectal cancer reports from China in the field of digestive tract…
Cancer detailsCinema The Komiks did not let go because of this. 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.

At the end of March 2018, Wang Lei, who often felt back pain and colds for most of the past six months, found abnormally elevated tumor marker CEA during a physical examination for staff at the hospital. This expert who has been engaged in gastrointestinal tumor research immediately had a bad premonition. Further systemic examination found that pancreatic cancer, in the advanced stage, cancer cells have spread to the liver.
Komiks This year, he was only 49 years old, clinical,Scientific research and hospital management are doing well, witnessing the successful development of Zhongshan Sixth Hospital since its inception. The innovative achievements of radioactive enteritis are being promoted, but at this critical moment, it is 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.
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 change in temperature 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, and Wang Lei had a clear understanding of himself: Cinema would rather burn for three years than just spend thirty years.
So, two months after the operation, he dragged his weak body to fight against the raging cancer cells in his body at any time 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 Cinema team member, he made the only oral report from nearly 10,000 experts from Komiks in the field of tumors in the world. Babaylan from China, a new auxiliary to local advanced rectal cancerThe controlled research on treatment is of great value to the treatment guidelines for advanced rectal cancer in countries around the world; he was still inhaling oxygen for rescue the night before, and the next day he appeared at the preliminary review meeting of the Guangdong Science and Technology Award as usual to explain the research results of innovative treatment of radioactive enteritis to the review experts. This achievement eventually 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 Technitis (2018)” with more than 30 experts across the country;
With both the role of advanced cancer patients and doctors, he reappeared in the clinic and gave more psychological comfort to those on the road to anti-cancer; at medical seminars every Wednesday afternoon, he 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.
Cinema To be 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”. This decades of dedication has made Wang Lei truly a doctor who can change the fate of those suffering from illness. 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 establish a simple neoadjuvant chemotherapy plan. Many patients are prone to radioactive damage after surgery and poor quality of life. They have successfully established a new preoperative “simple and full-quantitative chemotherapy” treatment plan for rectal cancer treatment, cited by the US NCCN guidelines.This research result was found.
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 anastomotic-related complications, reduces the chance of anastomotic 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 in a fierce and recurring manner. The patients are suffering and 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 when he agreed to accept the interview, Wang Lei’s physical condition was not ideal. Just a few hours before the interview, he felt that his physical condition was very bad when he was lying in bed to store energy. He clearly felt that the body’s temperature adjustment system could no longer be adjusted independently, and he fell asleep on the hospital bed with a fever.
After listening to her husband’s story with tears in her eyes, the wife beside her admitted that it was not easy to say these experiences, “We don’t want to be celebrities who are being followed.” However, Wang Lei, who is a doctor and treats cancer patients for the rest of his life, thought that this experience might give the same cancer patients a positive meaning, still chose to struggle from the hospital bed and talk about 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 cannot accept what is about to happen, it will only make himself and the people around him suffer.” Wang Lei said that life is like a journey, and he is ready to be the passenger who gets off a little early, although the last one may face Babaylanv.com/”>BabaylanBad result, but before you really fall, you still have to be the master of your own destiny and make every day meaningful.
