Japanese lung cancer surgery is expected to achieve long-term survival of cancer patients!
2020-08-14
In January 2019, the new phase of cancer statistics released by the National Cancer Center showed that lung cancer is still the well-deserved "king of cancer" in terms of the number of incidences and fatalities. Since many patients are found to have reached the middle and advanced stages, lung cancer in China The overall five-year survival rate is less than 20%. Our neighboring country, Japan, has benefited from the widespread popularity of early cancer screening, as well as advanced treatment methods, sophisticated surgical techniques, and scientific rehabilitation management systems, making the treatment of lung cancer emerge in the global medical field.
So, what are the advantages of lung cancer treatment in Japan? What are the advanced methods of lung cancer surgery in Japan, which is famous for its surgical operations?
1. Minimally invasive surgery is widely used
Compared with open thoracic surgery, minimally invasive surgery focuses more on the safety and curative effect of surgery, and has become the mainstream surgical method in Japan. For example, in the famous cancer hospital in Japan-Cancer Research Ariake Hospital, the application rate of thoracoscopic surgery and Da Vinci surgery is very high.
The Da Vinci Robotic Surgery System allows doctors to operate the robotic arm to perform surgery on the patient while monitoring the 3D display. With the high-resolution three-dimensional endoscopy, the vision can be magnified 10-15 times, making the surgery more accurate and the operation is produced The wound is only 1~2cm, which is a very advanced endoscopic surgery technique.
The patient's surgery usually only takes 2-4 hours, the hospital stay is generally only 3-4 days, and long-term portable oxygen is not required. The Da Vinci robotic surgical system is becoming more and more popular in Japan for its advantages of less trauma, less intraoperative bleeding, and faster postoperative recovery.
2. Strict and standardized surgical procedures
Standardized surgery is a hallmark feature of Japanese surgery.
Before the operation, the team of doctors adhered to a strict case discussion system, from the dean to the resident doctors must attend on time. For some cases with important vascular mutations, they can find out in advance in the preoperative CT scan, and think about the intraoperative response plan, and then discuss whether it is reasonable and feasible in the general practice.
During the operation, the rigorous work attitude of Japanese medical staff is the basis for ensuring that standardized operations can be carried out consistently. Here, whether it is a young doctor or an internationally renowned professor, every operation, the scope of lymph node dissection, the distance of tumor resection, the degree of nakedness of blood vessels, and which blood vessels need to be cut off during the operation, must strictly follow the guidelines. .
After the operation, it is also a cumbersome workflow: the disposal of pathological specimens, explaining the condition of the patient’s family to the patient’s family, writing medical documents, and entering and analyzing scientific research data.
In Japan, surgeons have been adhering to a concept: while removing tumor cells, as much as possible to preserve the patient's normal tissues and functions, so that patients can obtain a better quality of life after surgery. It is this almost harsh planned surgical operation that makes the surgical details more perfect and accurate.
3. Perfect perioperative rehabilitation management
A successful operation is not just a few hours or ten hours on the operating table, but the whole process management including preoperative preparation and postoperative rehabilitation.
It is understood that at the Cancer Research Institute, the perioperative management of cancer patients began one month before the operation. Doctors will advise patients to ban smoking because studies have found that smoking bans before surgery is more conducive to postoperative recovery and survival rates.
During the postoperative hospital stay, surgeons, nutrition departments, and rehabilitation doctors will jointly participate in the postoperative management of the patients, and professionally guide the patients on postoperative diet, exercise, and infection control. In addition, the patients' diet and daily life are provided by professional nurses, including postoperative body cleaning and a full set of nursing services.
The result of a series of detailed services is the improvement of the overall quality of the operation. Statistics have found that Japanese authoritative hospitals have a short postoperative hospital stay and an extremely low rate of postoperative complications, maintaining a very high level of safety worldwide.
Japan Cancer Hospital Strength Ranking
When it comes to the advanced advantages of cancer treatment in Japan, one has to mention Cancer Research Ariake Hospital, a representative hospital for cancer treatment in Japan.
As a medical institution that pioneered cancer treatment and research earlier in Asia, Cancer Research Ariake Hospital has a long history. The Cancer Research Association (referred to as Cancer Research) was established in 1908 and has a history of more than 100 years. The Cancer Research Ariake Hospital has a history of more than 80 years as an affiliate of cancer research. Since its establishment, it has been based on "overcoming cancer and benefiting The concept of "human" has always been committed to the research and development of cutting-edge cancer treatment technologies.
Cancer Research Ariake Hospital has the world's advanced diagnosis and treatment technology, and has been promoting the innovation of cancer treatment technology in Japan and the world. In the hospital strength rankings of major Japanese magazines over the years, Cancer Research Ariake Hospital ranks first in various cancer treatments, and it can be said that it is currently one of the strong cancer treatment hospitals in Japan.
Whether it is a difficult operation or a newly developed surgical technique, Cancer Research Ariake Hospital is familiar with it. In Cancer Research Ariake Hospital, the cancer treatment system is undergoing changes, and a team medical model is vigorously carried out, that is, the surgeon is the center, and experts from various departments work together to treat each patient in a team.
According to the hospital, Cancer Research Ariake Hospital has an average annual operation volume of more than 8,000 cases, which is the highest number of cancer treatments in Japan, in almost all cancers such as lung cancer, digestive tract cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and urinary system cancer. The level of surgery is leading in Japan.
In line with the principle of "minimal invasiveness", the hospital mostly uses laparoscopic surgery and thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer and other patients, with minimal trauma, reducing pain and improving the quality of life of patients. For advanced cancers that may have lymph node metastasis, not only is the tumor removed, but the lymph is completely cleaned through lymph node dissection, which improves the survival rate of patients.
So far, including foreigners living in Japan, Cancer Research Ariake Hospital has treated more foreign cancer patients than other hospitals in Japan.
