Ms. Zheng, 60 years old, hails from Hebei Province. She has been "fighting" against cancer for thirteen years.
Last autumn, the follow-up examination results indicated an enlargement of the lesion. This "veteran" who had been fighting lung cancer for many years knew in his heart that it was time to adjust the treatment plan and face the challenge again.
As a loyal patient of Professor Yang Nong for many years, she made a special trip to Hainan Cancer Hospital to seek Professor Yang Nong's professional diagnosis and treatment, in order to find a new direction for her anti-cancer journey.
"Anti-cancer" journey, spanning thousands of miles of trust
01 | 2012
Ms. Zheng's journey against cancer began in 2012. After being diagnosed with lung cancer at a local hospital, she successfully underwent a radical surgery for lung cancer.
After the surgery, Ms. Zheng completed the entire course of adjuvant therapy as prescribed by the doctor, and her recovery went smoothly. Her life gradually returned to normal. Over the next ten years, her condition remained stable, which gave her and her family a sense of relief.
02 | 2022
However, the trials of fate did not cease there. In 2022, her body once again sounded the alarm - signs of recurrence appeared in Ms. Zheng's lungs. She immediately initiated targeted drug therapy and embarked on a new journey to fight cancer.
Since her lung cancer recurred in 2022, Ms. Zheng has been following Professor Yang Nong, a renowned expert in the field of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment, on Tiktok. Professor Yang's popular science content is easy to understand, removing the obscurity of professional knowledge. What is even more commendable is that he always adheres to the doctor's sentiment of caring for patients and empathy, which makes Ms. Zheng, who is deeply trapped in the dilemma of fighting cancer, feel warm and trusted. It also makes her become an unequivocal "die-hard fan" of Professor Yang.
03 | 2025
At the end of last year, Ms. Zheng learned from Tiktok that Professor Yang Nong would regularly provide medical consultations at Hainan Cancer Hospital. At that time, she and her family were planning to spend the winter in Hainan. Upon hearing this news, she immediately discussed it with her family and they unanimously decided to make a special trip to see Professor Yang Nong for medical consultations, seeking more professional guidance for her cancer treatment journey.
Devoted fans follow doctors from the screen to the consulting room
In January this year, this "die-hard fan" who had been following Professor Yang Nong for many years finally walked into the consultation room of Hainan Cancer Hospital from in front of his mobile phone screen, meeting the expert face-to-face.

01 | Consultation
In the consultation room, Professor Yang Nong meticulously reviewed all of Ms. Zheng's medical records from the past thirteen years, comparing and analyzing lung imaging data from different periods, not overlooking any subtle changes. After reviewing all the conditions, he stated, "I have carefully understood your treatment history. Next, we will actively carry out a multi-modal combined systemic treatment to stabilize the condition step by step."
02 | Propose treatment suggestions
Subsequently, Professor Yang precisely formulated a personalized treatment plan based on Ms. Zheng's physical tolerance and long-term history of anti-cancer treatment - a powerful combination of chemotherapy, anti-angiogenic targeted drugs, and immunotherapy to form a synergistic anti-cancer offensive. Considering that she was over 60 years old and had been fighting cancer for a long time, causing significant physical depletion, Professor Yang specifically emphasized: "Let's start by reducing the dosage of chemotherapy drugs by 30%, allowing the body to gradually adapt. There's no need to rush; safety comes first."
Professor Yang also clearly outlined the subsequent treatment plan: "Once the tumor shrinks to an ideal size through combined treatment, we will promptly arrange radiotherapy to precisely 'target' the residual lesions. We will do our utmost to thoroughly eliminate this 'lesion stronghold' and strive to achieve better treatment outcomes for you."
When stepping out of the consulting room, Ms. Zheng could hardly conceal her excitement and exclaimed, "I've been following Professor Yang for several years, and today I finally got to meet the expert! The treatment plan he explained to me is exactly the same as the popular science he shares on Tiktok. It's practical and easy to understand, without any obscure terminology. The treatment starts with a reduction in dosage and progresses step by step. I suddenly felt much more at ease and more confident in continuing my fight against cancer."
