Chapter 463 Lecture at the Surgical Congress

World Congress of Surgery, San Francisco plenary session.

Chen Qi, wearing a suit and tie, stood on the highest podium in surgery, facing more than a thousand top surgical experts from various countries, and started his 10-minute special speech.

"Hi everyone, I am Dr. Chen Qi from Huaguo. I am very honored. Today I will represent our research group to introduce our latest research results to you. The topic of my speech today is "New Ideas for the Diagnosis of Surgical Diseases by Genetic Testing." ".

This is the paper "Genetic Testing Applied to Children's Lung Cancer Diagnosis" published in the "New England Journal", I believe many doctors have seen it, today I will introduce this case in detail..."

The meeting place was unusually quiet, except for the clicking sound when the slides were exchanged, there was only the rustling sound of notes.

It was not the first time Chen Qi stood on this stage, so he didn't feel much nervous.

On the contrary, the most nervous person is Yuto Takada, the chairman of the Japanese Sysmex Genetic Testing Company. For him, whether his company will be popular or hot in the future depends entirely on Chen Qi.

"So, when we suspected the source of neonatal lung cancer, we thought of using genetic testing to confirm whether our guess was correct. Finally, after comparison, we found the most advanced genetic testing company in the world, Japan's Hibiki Sammy Kang.

The efficiency of Sysmex is very high, and it took only 3 days to quickly complete the gene sequencing of the newborn's lung cancer, which bought precious time for our research team. Please see, this is the Genetic test report.

In the end, we found that the mother had a malignant tumor in her cervix. Similarly, we continued to cooperate with Sysmex, and their efficiency was as high as ever. It took less than 5 days to complete the work. Genetic sequencing of maternal cancer cells.

Then Sasimex Corporation compared the two genes, and finally confirmed that the gene overlap rate reached 99.9%, then we can finally confirm that the source of the cancer cells of the newborn is his mother. Please see the picture, these are the two A map of gene sequencing and comparison results.

This is also the first case in the world where cancer cells are directly transmitted through mother to child. It will also rewrite textbooks and is of great significance. But as doctors, we don't just think about this case. Is there any possibility of direct transmission of infection by other cancer cells?

So we carried out follow-up research, such as

Chen Qi talked eloquently above, but Takada Yuto in the audience was very excited.

Because Chen Qi not only mentioned the name of Sysmex several times, but also clearly stated that Sysmex is the most advanced and efficient genetic testing company in the world. This was said in front of more than 1,000 top surgeons.

This ad was played so well that Takata Yuto wanted to hug Chen Qi and kiss him, thinking:

"This Chen Sang is indeed an honest person, and he can do good things with money. It seems that the two parties will cooperate more in the future, and the sponsorship fee will have to be increased."

Below the venue, Professor Zeng touched Professor Wu Mengchao and said with a smile:

"Look at this kid, such an outstanding talent was actually sent to aid Africa. I don't know what Haidong thinks."

Professor Wu also chuckled:

"Jade can't be cut, Chen Qi is still young, I guess Haidong also let him go to aid Africa with the focus on cultivating him. He will have a good resume in the future, and he will have enough confidence to use it when he is promoted. He will not be punished because of his age." into doubt."

Professor Bi on the side touched his chin and said thoughtfully:

"This paper is so weird. He mentioned how good the Japanese Sysmex Genetic Testing Company is. It seems that this kid must have taken money."

Leader Liu Chumin lowered his head and said softly:

"Sysmex gave their research team 500,000 US dollars. This has been filed in the Ministry. Of course, Chen Qi wants to say something nice."

"Half a million dollars? Oh my god!"

"Is this kid the God of Wealth? He brought in $2 million for his wife, and another $500,000 for himself. Poor old guys like us want to apply for a research project, and the hospital just paid tens of thousands of yuan. "

"Yeah, I'm so angry, I think I will follow Xiao Chen in the future, let him be the boss."

A group of little old men started picking lemons, Professor Wu said impatiently:

"Okay, okay, it's his business that Xiao Chen is capable, and if you have the ability, you should go and get sponsors yourself, so you should pay more attention to academic research and hold less inexplicable meetings. You can't compare to the young man. .

Compared to the gossip of Chinese doctors, doctors in other countries are much more serious.

In addition to taking notes, there are also questions in my mind, and I urgently need to ask after the meeting, um, or, question...

10 minutes later, the on-site timer issued a "beep~~~".

Chen Qi also closed his manuscript, "Thank you for listening carefully, my speech is now over, thank you all."

Then he bowed slightly to everyone in the venue

Then, there was a burst of warm applause in the venue.

As compatriots, Hua Guo doctors all stood up and applauded desperately to support this young fellow.

At this time, the host at the meeting picked up the microphone,

"It seems that everyone is more interested in genetic testing technology, because time is limited, everyone can ask questions, but only one question."

Hurrah, there were at least a hundred hands raised high, obviously everyone had a lot to talk about.

The host pointed to a doctor at the front of the venue: "Yes, this doctor from France, please pass the microphone over."

"Hello, Dr. Chen, I have a question. Genetic testing is more important for internal medicine. Everyone knows this. But for us surgeons, what is the role and significance of genetic testing? Can you give an example?"

As soon as this question came up, many people nodded their heads.

Compared with internal medicine, surgeons embody "doing" rather than "speaking".

No matter how good your new technology is, it is a pity that it cannot be applied to surgical clinics and is not beneficial to surgical diseases. So it is not very appropriate for you to talk about genetic testing technology at the "World Congress of Surgery" today.

This also resonated with many surgeons.

Chen Qi took the microphone but shook his head:

"My understanding is different from yours. Our surgeons don't just complete a single operation. For example, the lung cancer I gave in my speech. From the perspective of our surgeons, I removed your tumor. , it is OK.

But from the perspective of the patient, the doctor removed the tumor, so how did the tumor come about? Will it recur in the future? What should I do next to prevent it? How to improve the survival rate is very important. In common saying, we have to make patients live longer.

So whether it is a surgeon or a physician, it is not enough to cure the pain in front of you. We should pay more attention to the changes that may occur in the future, so as to prevent them early. This is one of the meanings of genetic testing.

In addition, genetic testing also plays a very important role in lung cancer. For example, we need to be able to use genetic testing to confirm how lung cancer occurs and how cancer cells change. Then we can find out what is the driving gene of lung cancer cells?

At this point, the bosses of the pharmaceutical companies in the audience have noticed that we have found the precise target of cancer cells, so think in reverse, can we develop an effective gene-targeted drug to improve the survival of patients? Is the interest getting higher and higher?

I call this a kind of "precision medicine". The development of this kind of biomarkers will inevitably bring about changes in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. It will help doctors formulate precise treatment plans for lung cancer patients, and it can also benefit more patients.

I saw that the eyes of many bosses of pharmaceutical companies in the audience began to light up. I am just offering an idea of how to do it. This requires the joint efforts of doctors and researchers. We all have a common goal. It is to prolong the survival rate of patients. "

As soon as Chen Qi's voice fell, there was even more enthusiastic applause at the scene.

Chen Qi set the tone for the significance of gene detection technology in clinical surgery, and even pointed out the direction of future development, that is, relying on gene detection to invent a gene-targeted drug.

For top experts or top pharmaceutical giants, as long as you provide an idea, they can create unlimited possibilities.

Chen Qi is a reborn person. Of course, he knows that targeted drugs will be widely used in clinical practice in later generations, so the direction he provided is definitely not wrong.

For example, drugs that are often used clinically in later generations, such as gefitinib and osimertinib for sensitive mutations in the EGFR gene, and crizotinib and ceritinib for Occi gene fusions.

In addition, there are drugs targeting HER-gene amplification, such as Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, etc.

When biomarkers develop greatly in the future, everyone will think of the future ideas proposed by Chen Qi in his speech today.

Maybe it is possible to crown a "father of targeted drugs".

I didn't see that the bosses of the major pharmaceutical giants have already started to think about it, and they are probably all moved. They will definitely start research when they go back.

The happiest ones are the bosses of the major genetic testing companies who came next to the audience,

If Chen Qi's ideas come true, the role of their gene company will become more and more prominent in the future.

Gene technology has a prominent role in clinical practice, which means that the business will increase dramatically, which is all money. After all, this industry has high entry barriers, and they are the first batch of people to eat crabs.

Why do people start a company? Is it really for ideals? for love? For the health of all mankind?

Fart, it's not for money!

Chen Qi's speech today is undoubtedly a groundbreaking speech. At the same time, as mentioned many times in the speech, Sysmex, the world's best genetic testing company, will enter the sight of the world's top surgeons.

This made Takada Yuto laugh so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. The hundreds of thousands of dollars meant nothing to him, but the sponsorship meant a lot to his genetic company.

So, the practical Chairman Takada happily took out the check book and began to write 0 on it, which was regarded as an extra thank you to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi walked off the stage, and every now and then a doctor shook his hand and congratulated him on a successful speech.

Chen Qi also breathed a sigh of relief. Lung cancer is a disease of thoracic surgery. He accidentally discovered a case of neonatal lung cancer. He just wanted to help the poor family.

Unexpectedly, with help, I completed an academic project, which not only created a fortune for myself and my teachers and colleagues, but also made me once again shine at the surgical conference.

So people should do more good deeds.

If he didn't want to accept this newborn lung cancer patient because he thought it was troublesome, all the achievements today would be missed.

Chen Qi is just a pity that Dean Guo, Director Zhu, his master supervisor Teacher Xu, and Teacher Li have no chance to stand on the world's highest surgical stage.

Although the idea of this topic was proposed by him, they completed a lot of basic research work. As a result, all the honor and fame are now added to him, which makes Chen Qi a little ashamed.

So he planned to take part of the "labor fee" he received and give a car to each of the four big bosses who had been helping him.

I just don't know if they dare to accept it?

When Chen Qi returned to his seat, Professor Dewey was already waiting:

"Chen, you guys gave us another surprise, but unfortunately it was a surprise for our ICPF society. I feel that our society is about to lose you. This is really a frustrating thing."

Chen Qi smiled:

"Professor, even if you want to drive me away, you can't drive me away. My current high income is all thanks to the ICPF Institute and you. If I leave the Institute, how can I earn so much knife fees?"

"Haha, you're so smart, you're earning flying knife fees for plastic surgery, and studying other disciplines, but opportunities are created for geniuses, here you are, this is your surgery schedule for the next few days, all preoperative The examination has been completed and we are waiting for your surgery."

Chen Qi picked up the itinerary form. There were 15 flying knife surgeries and 5 public teaching surgeries on it. It would definitely be exhausting, not to mention that the FSSH Society would temporarily arrange teaching surgeries.

Judging from the number alone, there are more big dogs in the country, more patients, and more money.

No wonder doctors all over the world yearn to work in the United States.

Professor Dewey pointed to one of the names and said:

"This first operation was performed by the media giant Fukdo. His youngest daughter was born with a cleft lip and cleft palate. In addition, the nose also needs a comprehensive plastic surgery. They will name you, a gold medal surgeon, to take the stage. Don't worry. , and the labor fee is definitely beyond your imagination."

"Hey, just looking at this photo, this whole time is not enough."

"Don't worry, for the next few plastic surgeries, Mr. Falkor will rent a special medical plane from the Mayo Clinic to go to you. It doesn't matter whether you are in Africa or Asia."

Mayo Clinic has several medical planes, all of which are modified Boeing 747 aircraft.

The plane has the world's most advanced operating room and the top medical team, which is equivalent to a mobile top hospital, providing services exclusively for the top rich.

A charter flight, even in the 1980s, cost millions of dollars, and only top dog owners like Falkor could afford it.

Even the president of the bad country is not easy to enjoy.

In comparison, giving Chen Qi tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in flying knife fees is really just a drizzle.
