A big boss like Brother Tao can quickly understand the words of other specialists even though he is not a specialist in his own specialty.
Student Wei, who was a bit of a scumbag, was different. He seemed confused and asked the classmates next to him in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
This time, classmate Geng didn’t quite understand either.
When you come to neurosurgery for internship, you usually want to learn how to perform neurosurgery. Radiotherapy is a different type of specialty and is not part of the practice of surgeons. If you don't think about studying, you don't want to prepare and study in advance, unless you want to switch to another specialty.
Similarly, there is classmate Pan, a top student, who is confused about everything.
At this time, the three classmates really admired Mr. Xie, he knew everything.
She had been in the medical circle for many years before she was reborn. It is impossible not to know the hot topics in the medical circle. She is not a rookie medical student in essence. She is just enjoying the benefits of being reborn again. Xie Wanying is self-aware.
To put it simply, if you are in the future, it is easy to know that what patients and their families with brain metastases ask doctors most is whether they need to use gamma knife, accelerator or cyber knife to treat brain metastases.
In this era, as Brother Cao preached next:
"If radiotherapy is performed abroad, whole-brain radiotherapy is not commonly done in China now."
Radiotherapy for brain metastases can be roughly divided into whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
Because many domestic machines are not very advanced and accurate in positioning, it is difficult to perform precise radiotherapy. After treatment, patients are prone to relapse and complain, so they can only do a whole-brain radiotherapy in the hope of killing them all together. The biggest flaw of whole-brain radiotherapy is that the doctor uses the most powerful radiotherapy
The means were used all at once.
The clinical treatment policy can be compared to the principle of antibiotic use. If you are not sure that you can wipe out all the gods of death, you cannot use all the trump cards. You must take them one by one.
"When the whole brain is transferred abroad, it should be used last, unless SRS cannot be used for some special transfers, such as transfer to the meninges."
"Is whole-brain radiography too harmful?"
"yes."
Whole-brain radiotherapy kills healthy cells and cancer cells at the same time. You can imagine the result. You can kill it once, but what if you kill the patient several times and kill too many healthy cells? It is difficult for brain cells to grow.
Speaking of trivia, radiotherapy such as neurosurgery may not relieve the patient's symptoms and may worsen the patient's symptoms, because if healthy nerve cells are killed during the killing, part of the patient's brain may malfunction. Therefore.
He said that a good radiotherapy doctor would not give first choice to whole-brain radiotherapy.
If you want to perform surgery and hope to only target the diseased area, it is directed radiosurgery. This type of radiotherapy is similar to precise minimally invasive surgery, so many terms have a surgical name called a knife instead of radiotherapy.
What kind of knife, what kind of knife, makes ordinary people mistakenly think that the machine held by the radiotherapy doctor is holding a scalpel. In fact, it is not at all, it is just radiotherapy.
"If you put it like that, are there many options for radiotherapy?" Tao Zhijie recalled what he knew and frowned, "It seems our hospital doesn't have what you mentioned?"
The National Association currently does not have stereotactic surgical equipment. Cao Yong admitted that it may be that Dr. Wu’s stinginess has prevented many new equipment from being introduced into the National Association.
But if you ask Dean Wu himself, Dean Wu doesn’t think he should take the blame.
Introducing the latest international medical equipment is an easy task.
