Chapter 992 -994: Lingering Fears! (Additional Chapter 3 for Alliance Member Qingyan Xiaoguan)

At this moment, there was disagreement among the panel of experts.

One side doubted Chen Cang’s diagnosis, believing this to be a complex functional digestive system disorder.

Pancreatic cancer?

They dared to consider such a low-incidence disease?

Why not mention the even rarer small intestine cancer!

On the other side were those who supported Chen Cang and agreed with his discussion and analysis, considering the tests he proposed to be very feasible.

The dispute was not simply a matter between internal and surgical fields.

Even some of those who had attended the salon initially had doubts about Chen Cang’s thoughts.

This is academia, after all; one agrees with someone else’s academic view, and that’s all there is to it.

The mutual disparagement among intellectuals still exists.

Qin Zhenhong sat on the side, anxious and truly uneasy.

He had thought his father was just suffering from chronic gastritis. Had he known earlier, he might have consulted those traditional Chinese medicine masters for some herbal concoction as a treatment, which can be quite effective.

But today’s ordeal was really a matter of life and death!

Chen Cang, on the other hand, stood there with his phone, constantly searching for celebrities with a rather calm demeanor.

In truth, Chen Cang was also looking for a specific person in his mind.

Those who are too handsome… Well, Chen Cang thought these celebrities were too handsome and passed over them, as he needed someone with an image of an ordinary citizen, a common man.

Such good looks can make a person unrelatable.

Sun Guangyu, standing nearby, was actually quite worried. Seeing Chen Cang scrolling through celebrity photos, he couldn’t help but feel speechless…

“You… are you chasing celebrities?” Sun Guangyu asked Chen Cang, puzzled.

Chen Cang shook his head, “No, I’m working on a public service advertisement. I’m the scriptwriter, so I need to look for actors.”

With just one sentence, Sun Guangyu was thunderstruck: “Why on earth are you being a scriptwriter?”

Chen Cang just smiled, “It’s… a secret!”

Sun Guangyu was resigned; making this video would take some time.

Qin Zhenhong wanted to calm down, but the composure he had cultivated over many years had vanished without a trace.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Chen Cang saw a photo of Sun Honglei, one with a shy smile wearing a school uniform, bald and giggling… It seemed quite fitting.

At that moment, the head of the radiology department sat in front of the computer, furrowing his brow in concern!

He had found that there were indeed signals of differing elasticity in the pancreatic tissue.

What did this mean?

There were already reports in the field concerning the elasticity of a normal person’s pancreas.

It was indicated that different parts of the pancreas normally exhibit no significant differences in elasticity, but factors such as age and body mass index (BMI) might affect pancreatic elasticity values due to fibrosis and fat infiltration.

However, this was not an indication of fat infiltration or fibrosis!

Generally, benign tumors tend to grow in an orderly manner, maintaining elasticity similar to that of normal tissue.

In contrast, malignant tumors grow in a disorganized and unstructured way; by utilizing this characteristic, it is possible to understand the growth, infiltration, and malignancy degree of tumor cells, and differentiate the benign or malignant nature of pancreatic lesions based on the heterogeneity of elasticity signals throughout the pancreas.

It was because of this that the head of the radiology department felt so uneasy—the patient might indeed have a malignant pancreatic tumor!

Thinking this, he scrutinized the results repeatedly, fearing that a technical error might have led to a misdiagnosis.

Yet clearly, there was no mistake in the results!

Taking a deep breath, he recorded the findings and signed his name with caution.

Getting up from his desk, he went out to deliver the film.

By this point, everyone was waiting with agitated impatience.

Sun Guangyu and the others, hearing the door open, rushed over eagerly.

They saw the chief of radiology, Li Heng, looking at the crowd with a heavy and grim expression.

Qin Zhenhong, seeing this, directly asked, “Director Li, how is it?”

Director Sun also looked at Li Heng, inquiring, “Director Li, do we have the results yet?”

At that time, nurses and medical technicians wheeled out the elderly patient.

Sun Guangyu instructed the nurses, “Take the patient back for some rest.”

Several minutes after the elderly man had left, Li Heng spoke the hard truth, “It might be a malignant tumor!”

That single statement stunned everyone!

It was actually a malignant tumor?

Qin Zhenhong’s breathing became rapid; it felt like his whole being was off, his ears buzzing in his head!

Li Heng summoned everyone to the office.

“Look, these are the elasticity signal results. Right here… you can clearly see an irregular area, and it’s located in the head of the pancreas, which is exactly affecting the patient’s pancreatic function. Even with insulin injections to control blood sugar, it’s still unstable.”

“However, this seems to be in the early stages because, first of all, the tumor is very small. Still… my advice is to do a PET-CT scan to precisely determine the situation and to see if there’s any metastasis.”

Many might have heard of PET-CT but not understand it well.

In essence, it combines PET and CT perfectly—PET provides detailed functional and metabolic molecular information of the lesion, while CT provides the precise anatomical location.

A single imaging session yields cross-sectional images from all around the body, offering sensitive, accurate, specific, and precise localization. It provides a clear understanding of the body’s overall condition, aiming for the early detection of lesions and diagnosis of diseases.

Hearing Director Li say this, everyone fell silent.

Li Heng took a deep breath: “This is really incredible. To look at what seems to be a common illness and think of pancreatic cancer, then to perform an MRE! Director Sun is impressive!”

Li Heng expressed his heartfelt admiration: “That said, in all my years of conducting scans, this is the first time I’ve detected pancreatic cancer so early. It’s truly difficult to find at an early stage.”

At this moment, Qin Zhenhong’s complexion was very poor. Upon hearing that his father had pancreatic cancer, his heart sank: “Director Li, Director Sun, is my father’s condition serious?”

Li Heng looked at Qin Zhenhong honestly, “Commander Qin, don’t worry. To speak fairly, discovering pancreatic cancer today is a good thing because most early-stage pancreatic cancers go undetected!”

“Since it has been discovered, timely treatment can have a high success rate. The thing to fear with pancreatic cancer is not anything else but late discovery. Once it’s in the late stage, the survival rate is very low.”

“So, you should really thank Director Sun!”

After hearing this, many surrounding directors sighed deeply and turned their gaze to Chen Cang.

Qin Zhenhong also looked at Chen Cang.

It was this young man who suddenly pointed out the old man’s condition.

Quite an impressive figure indeed.

Thinking this, Qin Zhenhong looked at Chen Cang with sincere gratitude, “Young comrade, there are no words to express my thanks for this. I owe you a great deal. If there’s anything I can help with in the future, just give me a call.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily taken aback…
