Wu Huaide, an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, said tactfully: "Mr. Lu, many unapproved drugs actually have certain drawbacks. Mr. Xue's body function is already at a very low level. If he tries the medicine in vain, it may lead to serious consequences!" "
Two foreign experts also agreed with his view. Brewer said: "We are studying new treatment options in the past few days. I think he should not be allowed to use this new drug at this time."
Benoit said: "Can you let me see the information on this drug? I mean, the kind that can be published."
Lu Zixin knew that it would be difficult to convince them, so he said: "I can show you some information. This drug is the best treatment method at present in my opinion."
Several experts were hesitant and read the drug information given to them by Lu Zixin.
"Huh? Targeted therapy?" Wu Huaide was surprised. He saw some information in the brief information and immediately felt a sense of recognition.
For cancer treatment, targeted therapy at the cellular and molecular level has always been favored by the medical community. This method is much less harmful to the patient's body than radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other methods.
Moreover, if the target of cancer cells can be identified and drug molecules can be precisely combined to specifically kill cancer cells, the disease can be suppressed.
However, there are only a handful of targeted therapeutic drugs in the world, and they are all targeted at specific diseases.
As for targeted treatment drugs for lung cancer, Wu Huaide had never heard of any research institution or medical organization publishing relevant information. After a brief look this time, he found that it was actually like that.
"Have they found a specific drug molecule that blocks the production of cancer cells?" Brewer asked.
Lu Zixin nodded and said, "That's the kind of medicine."
"Really?" Brewer opened his eyes wide, read the information again, and said, "Is this possible? They can actually find drug molecules that block the production of cancer cells! No, I want to know the detailed ingredients!"
His first instinct was still not to believe it. There were many such things in the medical field. Whenever a team announces that it has discovered that XX drug or method is effective for a certain disease, 98% of such drugs are eliminated in the clinical trial stage.
The reaction of drugs in the living body is far beyond what can be speculated by a few inferences and formulas.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you the detailed ingredients." Of course Lu Zixin would not tell him the detailed ingredients. This is an important medical secret.
According to a report released by the Tufts Drug Development Research Center in the United States, the average cost of developing a new drug reaches US$2.56 billion! One can imagine how valuable a new drug is! And it is also a special targeted drug for cancer cells!
"Sorry, I was presumptuous. But without knowing the detailed cost, I am not sure about the practicality of this drug." Brewer said.
"Dr. Brewer is right," Benoit said. "After reading this information, I found that it was indeed produced by an institution with a high level of cancer research. However, Mr. Xue has advanced cancer, and the failure rate of trying new drugs is higher than that of cancer. The early risk is more than ten times greater! It can be said that the probability of death is very high.”
Hospital director Yue Sibo also nodded and said: "Our hospital cannot make such a decision alone. It must be agreed by the patient, the patient's family, and the attending doctor."
"Okay." Lu Zixin knew that they couldn't be sure, so he said, "I will explain it to the patient and the patient's family first."
Lu Zixin first informed Xue Yao about this matter, and Xue Yao was also very confused. After careful consideration, she said, "Let's do this. I'll ask my dad for his opinion. If he agrees, I'll use it. If he doesn't, forget it."
Lu Zixin nodded to express his respect for her opinion. When they told Xue Bo about this, Xue Bo was very happy. He said that he didn't have much life left anyway, so he might as well make a little contribution to medical research.
Later, Lu Zixin discussed with Yuanfang, Xue Yao signed relevant agreements with them, and then began to test this new drug.
In fact, several experts have no hope for new drugs. They all said goodbye to Lu Zixin, saying that they would return to their respective places to work.
"Mr. Lu, we will always pay attention to Mr. Xue's condition. We will definitely do our best to alleviate his condition." Brewer got on the plane and he will return to the United States.
"If you have any questions, you can call me." Wu Huaide left his personal phone number.
The same is true for Benoit. Three world-class medical experts have all returned separately, which is enough to show their confidence in the new medicine.
Only patients will blindly believe in new drugs, and they know that in order to become a specific drug for the treatment of a specific disease, it will take countless failures to succeed.
In the end, Xue Bai was probably just one of the failed cases.
The attending doctor Zeng Hong was also under great pressure. When Xue Bai took the medicine for the first time, he asked the nurse to check on the patient's condition every half hour.
Xue Yao was equally worried as him. She was afraid that Xue Bai would have any rejection reaction, so she stayed by the hospital bed.
To their surprise, Xue Bai showed no abnormalities ten hours after taking the drug.
On the second day, Xue Bai ate slightly more than yesterday. The third day was a little better than yesterday.
"Judging from the patient's current condition, the condition has temporarily eased and has not worsened further. However, the specific situation needs to be observed for another two weeks." Zeng Hong reported Xue Bai's situation to the department director.
"Eh? Is this medicine really effective?" Mo Xiajin was also surprised and warned: "As soon as you find any changes, deal with it immediately."
"No matter how effective the treatment is, it cannot be ignored!"
"Well, I've been watching." Zeng Hong naturally knew the weight of this. After all, the origin of the patient was not simple. As his condition worsened, the hospital was under great pressure.
And similarly, if the condition improves, it means even more! We see dead people in hospitals every day, but if a drug emerges that can cure terminal illnesses, it will definitely shock the world!
Looking at him, Lu Zixin was also following up on Xue Bai's treatment. A week later, Xue Bai's condition actually improved. He ate more and was able to move around easily.
Faced with this situation, the doctors expressed great surprise and conducted another inspection.
In the clinic, the department director and the attending doctor were waiting nervously, even more nervous than the patients. This is not only a treatment, but also a new attempt in medicine.
"The report is out!" The nurse came over with the test results, and the two of them quickly checked.
Seeing the data, the two couldn't help shouting: "The number of cancer cells has actually begun to decrease! The disease has been suppressed!"
