It is reported that this is the first case of "Target-in-Target" radiotherapy implemented in Hainan.
On July 24, the patient Mrs Gao was discharged safely.
01
Sharp pain in the abdomen
It turns out to be the "King of Cancer”.
In early July, 69-year-old Mrs Gao living in Hohhot found sudden severe pain in her abdomen, and the pain is increasing day by day, and finally she can only rely on painkillers to slow down the symptoMrs
Mrs Gao went to the local hospital for examination and was eventually diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is known as the "King of Cancer”, among all malignant tumors, it has the most dangerous incidence and the highest mortality rate.
The tumor was located in the middle of the pancreas and is 5 centimeters in size. Due to the late detection and the close connection between the tumor and the splenic artery, the best time for surgical treatment had been missed.
If adopting conventional surgical treatment, the patients stomach, intestines and other normal tissues have to be removed, making the operation difficult, risky and with a high chance of recurrence after surgery. Thus, the patient herself resisted surgical treatment.

An opportunity has come unexpectedly and fortunately
Traveling a rather long distance to seek medical treatment
It happened that a relative of Mrs Gao had undergone stereotactic radiotherapy for lung cancer five years ago operated by Professor Qin Qingliang, a well-known radiotherapist in China, and the disease was under good control. The relative suggested that Mrs Gao should require Professor Qin for a "look".
Professor Qin Qingliang is the former Director of the Department of Tumor Radiotherapy of Dongfang Hospital affiliated to Tongji University (Shanghai Oriental Hospital). He was introduced to Hainan as a high-end talent last year, and is now the Special Tumor Radiotherapist of Hainan Chengmei Hospital, the International Department of Hainan Provincial Cancer Hospital.
An opportunity has come unexpectedly and fortunately. After carefully studying Mrs Gaos diagnostic data, Professor Qin made a judgment that it is suitable to carry our "Rapid Blade" stereotactic treatment.
It happened that the hospital has introduced the "Quick Blade", which is the cutting edge international radiotherapy technology and is known as the "miracle weapon for treating cancer". The reason why the radiotherapy equipment is called the "Quick Blade" is because it has not only the functions of conventional radiotherapy equipment, but also precise performance, it can achieve the same therapeutic effect as a surgical knife so as to get the good reputation. At the same time, it has the advantages of high efficiency, precision and safety.

"Target-in-Target” precise treatment
Relieve patient symptoms rapidly
On July 16, accompanied by family members, Mrs Gao made a special trip "flying" to Hainan from Hohhot, seeking medical treatment.
Professor Qin Qingliang and a team of radiotherapists formulated a "Target-in-Target” precise treatment plan focusing on Mrs Gaos condition.
Professor Qin introduced that the "Target-in-Target" treatment technology is the unique therapeutic function of "Quick Blade". According to the treatment needs, it can set multiple target zones in the tumor site through different therapeutic dosage distribution, which not only ensures the efficient "strike" on the tumor, but also ensures that it will not hurt the normal tissues around the stomach, intestines and other normal tissues.
Because pancreatic tumors are in close proximity to the retroperitoneum, they are highly susceptible to retroperitoneal metastases. In terms of the design of the treatment target area and dose, similar to the military practice of "surrounding points to fight for reinforcements", Professor Qins team specifically set up an "indirect" irradiation area targeting the retroperitoneum to reduce the risk of metastasis and tumor recurrence in the retroperitoneum.
After five 10-minut esessions of stereotactic precision radiation therapy, Mrs Gaos pain gradually decreased and her condition stabilized day by day. By the time the fifth treatment was completed, the abdominal pain was completely relieved.
Mrs Gao was very optimistic about the experience of thousand-mile medical treatment seeking, saying that there was no discomfort during the treatment and that her appetite and mental state were much better than before. She Was especially thankful to Professor Qins team for their expertise and the medical team for their careful and heart-warming service. She said, "The doctors and nurses at your hospital treat me like family and I feel especially warm.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Mrs Gao and her family embarked on a booked trip to Hainan. Hainan is so beautiful, she said!

Quick Blade
Radiotherapy technology has stepped into the era of "precision". As an advanced "magic weapon for cancer treatment", "Speed Blade" breaks through the limitations of traditional radiotherapy in terms of physical precision and realizes precise positioning and tracking of tumors in the treatment process, which greatly improves the treatment efficiency and effect, and truly achieves the purpose of precise radiotherapy and accurate treatment.
Compared with ordinary radiotherapy equipment, the "Fast Blade" treatment has six major advantages:
Firstly, the treatment is precise. With high-tech optical surface monitoring and precise "guidance" by magnetic tag tracking, the "Speed Blade" can lock the tumor target in real time like a missile, so that the tumor tissue has no place to escape and can be precisely shot out.
The second is efficiency. Multi-point tracking and full scale destruction. The previous treatment can treat only one tumor lesion at a time, but the "Rapid Blade" can remove up to 5 or more tumor lesions at the same time.
The third is speed Ultra-high dose rate output, ultra-fast response, short single treatment time. The previous treatment used to take an hour, now it takes 5 to 10 minutes.
The fourth is short treatment course. Previously, radiotherapy typically required 30 sessions over 2 months. The “Speed Blade” only requires 1 to 5 sessions, up to 10 days.
The fifth is good security. Non-invasive positioning, no anesthesia, and micron-level precision could kill the "enemy" without harming "friends", which brings little damage to normal tissues and vital organs with slight toxic side effects.
The sixth is excellent effect. The "targeted strike" with high-precision, high-accuracy and high-intensity could eliminate tumor tissue completely without residue, providing more significant treatment effect.
In addition, the "Rapid Blade" has excellent therapeutic effects on solid tumors in all parts of the body, especially on tumors that are difficult to perform conventional surgery, such as primary tumors and metastatic tumors of the skull, lung cancer, spine tumors, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and other solid tumors.
Introduction of the expert
Good at tumor radiation therapy, skilled use of the most advanced EDGE, flexible use of stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT, SRS) new technology, specializing in the treatment of early small lung cancer (lung nodules), intrapulmonary metastases, brain metastases, brain benign tumors, recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer, spinal (metastatic) tumors, etc. in six categories of extremely complex diseases. The treatment effect of fast blade knife is good with small toxic side effect, less actual cost and bring on pain to the patient.
