Experts explain invisible threats and the latest treatments and preventions

Dr. Wu specifically mentioned that with the advancement of drug research and development, we may no longer need to rely on traditional chemotherapy in the future, but will turn to more precise treatment methods, such as Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC). He said that all clinical trials are now looking at whether ADC can replace our current chemotherapy drugs. If it can be replaced, everyone will no longer have to be afraid of chemotherapy in the future. Maybe all chemotherapy will be replaced by ADC and become history. But this may take about 5 to 10 years to see the results of some clinical trials to see whether these new drugs can really replace the current chemotherapy. But at least in terms of its effectiveness and safety, I think it is a more ideal treatment method.

【Life Stories of Cancer Fighters】

Hans, 40, is a non-smoker with lung cancer. A customer shared his family history of lung cancer, prompting him to go for a health checkup, where he unexpectedly discovered that he had early-stage lung cancer. Thanks to early detection, he did not need chemotherapy after surgery.

This experience of fighting cancer not only brought him a new understanding of life, but also made him re-examine his relationship with his father. Hans’ father was only 54 years old when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. It took only four to five months from the pain to the examination to his death. In the process of taking care of his father, Hans learned to forgive and understand. The words his father said before his death, “Brother, I know you are very brave. From now on, this family will be handed over to you”, became an important turning point in his life. He said: I will always remember this sentence. Until now, this sentence is very important to me.

After this experience, Hans gained a new understanding of life. He said: “I think this incident is a warning from God. After that, my mentality was completely different, and I think my life values ​​also changed. I began to slowly reduce some ineffective social activities and concentrate on my work and my family.”

Hans finally shared, “I found that many cancer patients around me, like me, do not smoke. I think in order to be responsible for ourselves and our families, we should pay more attention to our health. I also want to remind my friends around me: lung cancer screening is really important.”
