Ms. Chen, a 60-year-old patient with lung adenocarcinoma, has undergone multiple rounds of targeted therapy and several adjustments to treatment plans, yet her lesion has continued to progress slowly.
After moving to Hainan in early 2026, she had the fortune to seek treatment from Professor Yang Nong, an expert in lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. Relying on a precise individualized comprehensive treatment plan, the years of diagnostic and treatment deadlock were broken, and the perennial anxiety and unease of her anti-cancer journey finally found a sense of stability.
Five years of fighting cancer, with repeated progression of lesions
In mid-2020, Ms. Chen was alerted to lung abnormalities during a physical examination. She subsequently underwent a lung mass biopsy, which confirmed the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma with bilateral lung metastasis. In September of the same year, she began targeted therapy.
In early 2021, a follow-up assessment was conducted to evaluate tumor progression, and subsequently, the drug dosage was increased. During this period, the tumor showed a slow progression trend.
In August 2022, due to the inability to perform another biopsy, the doctor recommended switching to targeted therapy combined with anti-angiogenic therapy.
In early 2026, Ms. Chen and her family relocated to Hainan. A follow-up PET-CT scan indicated an enlargement of the lesion.
After being recommended by relatives, she followed Professor Yang Nong on Tiktok. After observing for a period of time, she found that Professor Yang explained cases clearly and practically, and was deeply touched by the thanks expressed by patients in the comment section. "After watching so many videos, I feel that he truly thinks about the patients," said Ms. Chen.
Nowadays, she has become a "new fan" of Professor Yang and has also harbored the idea of seeking consultation in person. After discussing it with her family, she decided to register for a consultation.
The plan is set, and so is my mind
In June 2026, Ms. Chen came to the outpatient clinic of specially-appointed experts at Hainan Cancer Hospital.
Professor Yang Nong carefully reviewed all her imaging data from the past five years, particularly comparing the CT scans from 2025 and 2024. He looked up and said with certainty, "The lesion is indeed slowly growing, but there is a very good sign - it has always been confined within the lungs and has not spread. In this case, intervention is definitely necessary, but there is also a chance to cure it."
Professor Yang Nong provided a clear plan: switching to targeted drugs, combined with simultaneous chemotherapy after imaging localization, followed by radiotherapy intervention. "The current treatment intensity is not sufficient and needs to be slightly strengthened. However, we are confident that this plan will bring it under control."
Seeing that Ms. Chen was a little nervous, Professor Yang Nong reassured her, "Just follow the steps, actively cooperate, and take it easy."
"For more than five years, I've been feeling uneasy and anxious all the way through," Ms. Chen said with emotion. "Professor Yang Nong looked at my film and explained the plan clearly. My heart suddenly felt at ease."
