Pancreatic cancer is called the “king” of cancer. The patient’s survival period is very short. 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 who are on the front line: the patient who received surgery for nurses and Cinema has survived for about 7 months, and Wang Lei has fought for 13 months; he can no longer eat independently after the operation. Two months after the operation, he still treated the patients and stood in the United States with a weak body. At the Clinical Oncology Conference, nearly 10,000 tumor experts from all over Komiks were explained to nearly 10,000 oncology experts from all over the world that the only colorectal cancer report in the digestive tract from Komiks in China…
Cancer cells Komiks did not let go of it. 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 said frankly that before he really fell down, the meaning of living every day still needs to be dominated by himself.

Pancreas was found during a physical examination for long-term backacheBabaylanCancer
At the end of March 2018, Wang Lei, who had often felt back pain and had a long-term cold, found that the tumor marker CEA was abnormally elevated during the physical examination of the hospital staff. This expert who has been engaged in gastrointestinal tumor research for a long time immediately had a bad feeling. Further systemic examination found that pancreatic cancer, in the advanced stage, cancer cells had spread to the liver.
This year, he was only 49 years old, and his clinical, scientific research, and hospital management were doing well, witnessing the successful arrival of Zhongshan Sixth Hospital since its inception. The innovative achievements of radioactive enteritis are being promoted, but at this critical moment, they are 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, large part 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 temperature change 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, Cinema thought about the way of life, and Wang Lei had a clear understanding of himself: I would rather burn for three years than just spend thirty years.
So, two months after the operation, Wang Lei reappeared in the clinic and scientific research conference rooms, and even went to the review table for innovative treatment of radioactive enteritis treatment and further went international.
Cinema 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 walked towards the 53rd Chicago American Clinical Oncology Conference, as a representative of the main creative team, he came from the worldNearly 10,000 experts and scholars in the field of frontier tumors made the only oral report from China in the field of digestive tract. This controlled study on neoadjuvant treatment of local late-stage rectal cancer is of great value to the treatment guidelines for advanced rectal cancer in countries around the world;
The night before was inhaled oxygen to rescue, 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 for Diagnosis and Treatment of Radioprotic Technitis (2018)” with 30KomiksNational National Experts on Diagnosis and Treatment of Radioprotic Technolences (2018)”;
With both the role of patients with advanced cancer and doctors, he reappeared in the clinic to give 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 worked silently to move forward for this, and worked with the teacher to promote the scientific research on radioactive enteritis and practice the ideal of doctors.
Being a doctor who can change the fate of patients
Returned from the American postdoctoral research, Wang Lei and more than 3BabaylanIn 2007, he and more than 3Babaylan came to Tianhe District, where he stationed in a three- or four-story simple building, becoming one of the pioneering cattle in the founding of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.
”I love surgery, and when I go to the operating table, I love scientific research even more, and life is full of mystery. 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 patients. 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 rectal cancer anal protection surgery with anal protection of 2 cm from the tooth line, and wrote it into the seventhThe national unified textbook “Surgery” was compiled by them; 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 stages of rectal cancer is generally referred to the US NCCN guidelines, and preoperative synchronous chemotherapy was performed before surgical resection to establish a pure neoadjuvant chemotherapy plan. After surgery, many patients are prone to radioactive damage and poor quality of life. They have successfully established a new preoperative “simple and full-quantitative chemotherapy” treatment plan for rectal cancer treatment. The US NCCN guidelines quoted this research result.
For patients who have received radiotherapy, Professor Wang Lei established a unique surgical procedure – proximal enlarged resection of rectal cancer, and was named “Tianhe Surgery” after Tianhe District where Zhongshan Sixth Hospital is located. Tianhe surgery reduces the incidence of anastomosis-related complications, reduces the chance of anastomosis 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 fiercely and recursively, and 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 was lying in bed to store energy and feeling that Cinema‘s physical condition was very bad. He clearly felt that the body’s temperature regulation system could no longer be adjusted independently, and he was sleeping in 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 paid attention to.” However, Wang Lei, who is a doctor and treats cancer patients all his life, thought that this experience might give the same cancer patients a positive meaning, he still chose to struggle from the hospital bed and told 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 is unacceptable to what is about to happen, it will only make himself and the people around him very painful.” Wang Lei said that life is like a journey, and he is ready to make that offer.Passengers who got off the bus a little earlier may face a bad result in the end, but before they really fall, they still have to be the masters of their own destiny and make every day meaningful.
