This Doctor has some knowledge about Zhao Wenbo because Zhao Wenbo's opinions are usually quite eccentric and distinctive, making him memorable to everyone.
For example, after this meeting, Tang Shun will also remember this Doctor Zhao.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. Having someone like that in the department really affects everyone's mood. We're quite busy with the next steps. The Institute needs to expand, the site selection for the super laboratory has been completed, and we are going to gradually recruit top-tier medical research talents from around the globe to build a strong research team." Tang Shun had no interest in Zhao Wenbo; he let him argue with whoever he wants, just ignore him.
"I heard the government allocated a land of more than a thousand acres; is such a large territory all for our Institute?" The Doctor was quite curious, as rumors outside are buzzing about the super laboratory, which has total investments exceeding tens of billions.
During the site selection, Tang Shun also went to have a look. He said, "That's right; otherwise, why call it a super laboratory? Imagine someone like Professor Yang, a genius figure around whom the state would surely build a strategic laboratory. I used to think I was a genius, but after meeting Professor Yang, I realized I'm just a nameless soldier among a hundred thousand celestial troops."
"How does he have so much knowledge in his head? Every time we have academic discussions, no matter which book, paper, knowledge point, or issue is mentioned, he knows all about it, and very thoroughly at that. What is called profound knowledge, I think that's what Professor Yang truly embodies." The Doctor showed an expression of admiration.
"There's nothing we can do about it; that's just how geniuses are. If us ordinary folks could figure it out, then they wouldn't be geniuses." Tang Shun said as the elevator door opened, and they arrived at the laboratory.

Sisi's treatment stage in this cycle required summarization again. Song Zimo was leading everyone in analyzing the review data. This time, the treatment brought a surprising piece of news; indeed, the tumor was no longer visible on various imaging pictures. Does this mean it has been cured?
CAR-T cell therapy can completely cure tumors it is sensitive to, like B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, a significant flaw with cell therapy is that it only works well for blood tumors but poorly for solid tumors.
Could it be that K therapy can now exhibit the cure effect of cell therapy on blood tumors for solid tumors like osteosarcoma?
Concerning the most recent review, Song Zimo was very surprised. He immediately called Yang Ping to verify together. Yang Ping carefully compared the imaging pictures after this treatment cycle, and indeed, the tumor images had been decreasing; the last few pictures didn't show any tumor images; they were very clean.
"This is the pathological examination from multiple point biopsies, and all these tissue sections were personally reviewed by Wen Ruzheng." Song Zimo then called up the pathology report.
The post-treatment review included biopsies of some puncturable tumors for tissue sampling. The last pathological examination showed no pathology slice found any tumor cell.
Of course, this can only indicate that the tumor has been eliminated on a macro level. If there are any scattered tumor cells remaining on a micro level, no current medical means can detect them, so it cannot yet be confirmed as completely cured. Long-term reviews are needed to determine so finally.
However, it is certain that the effect of this treatment was excellent; at least after treatment, current medical means could not detect any residual lesions.
"Here are some checks for tumor markers, Professor, look, all these indicators have fallen back to normal ranges; previously, they were more or less high." Song Zimo pulled out check results one by one.
It seems very likely that the tumor was cured. A ripple stirred in Yang Ping's heart, with a bit of excitement.
"The probability of cure is extremely high, continue to regularly check up, and next time remember to perform a reconstructive surgery on the scar on her right thigh to remove the scar." Yang Ping instructed.
"I remembered this."
Song Zimo and the surrounding doctors were extremely excited. They had been hoping for this result, K Therapy's first complete cure of a patient in clinics; it is absolutely a landmark event, proving it can have such a good effect on solid tumors.
"Call Sisi's mom and dad over, and we'll tell them this news," Yang Ping said.
A graduate student immediately stood up and ran outside to find the Head Nurse, asking her to call Sisi's mom over. Sisi's mom immediately called the child's dad. The couple had run around desperately for their child's illness, even selling the house. That time they had been hopeless; now, the child's tumor is completely gone.
Sisi's mom thought she had misheard and confirmed several times before daring to believe it. She and the rushing Sisi's dad arrived at the doctor's office together.
"Professor Yang..." they said, gasping for breath.
Yang Ping gestured for them to sit down and, pointing at the film on the screen, said, "Let me tell you some good news. This is Sisi's latest follow-up check: all the previous tumor lesions have disappeared in these films. Besides, we found no tumor cells in multiple puncture biopsy pathology examinations, and various marker examination indicators also dropped to normal."
"Is it cured?" Sisi's mom said excitedly.
Yang Ping spoke more objectively, "We can't say for sure for now. If subsequent examinations maintain this state without any signs of recurrence, it means it is cured, which is what we call a cure."
"Professor Yang means that it seems to be cured now. To ultimately confirm, we'll need to see follow-up exams. If they show no problems, it's completely cured." Sisi's dad explained to Sisi's mom in his own words.
"I know, I know..."
Upon hearing this news, Sisi's mom didn't even know what to say, just stared blankly at the screen, then burst into tears.
These past years, they had such a hard time. When they sold the house for the child's treatment, relatives advised against it, warning them of ending up penniless and not worth it, suggesting they should let things run their course and have another child later.
But Sisi was such a sensible child; the couple decided, no matter what the cost, they would try to save her. It wasn't a matter of money or the possibility of a cure. If they didn't do it, they would live with regret for a lifetime.
Later, they arrived at Sanbo Hospital; unexpectedly, they met benefactors here. Under Professor Yang's help, Sisi's condition first stabilized, then she slowly underwent treatment with new methods; it was not without twists, even risking her life. Once, there was even an emergency craniotomy. They walked step by step to the present; how could they not be happy, how could they not be excited hearing this news now?
Sisi's dad, a tough man, now also had tears in his eyes.
"Professor Yang, thank you, thank you and the doctors and nurses from the Institute. I don't know what to say now," Sisi's dad pulled Sisi's mom and was about to kneel and thank them; their emotions were already out of control.
Yang Ping quickly held them up, "Please, don't. This is the result of our joint efforts. Without your absolute trust in me, today's results wouldn't be possible either, and I should also thank you for your trust."
"Is Sisi now at school attending classes?" Yang Ping asked.
Sisi's parents nodded, and Yang Ping said, "When she's back from school, pass this message to the child. Even though Sisi may not say it, she has some burdens on her mind."
"I know, alright, we'll pick her up early." Sisi's mom wiped away her tears.
Yang Ping was filled with emotion, remembering that Sisi was admitted by Professor Zhang Zongshun, who had said, "Let's try our best. If I don't take her, who will? I know there's no way out now, but it might at least give the child a glimmer of hope."
Because of cost issues, some doctors in the department opposed Professor Zhang's decision to admit Sisi, but Professor Zhang assured them he would shoulder the cost himself and take full responsibility.
At that time, Yang Ping was just an attending physician, and there was no K Therapy. He studied Sisi's condition; radiotherapy and chemotherapy could no longer be administered, as further treatment would completely destroy the immune system. Seeing no alternative, he came up with an unconventional idea, using the Gamma Knife's ultrasound for precise targeting of the tumor, giving Sisi a time buffer with this method.
Later, the Gamma Knife couldn't work anymore. Fortunately, by then, Yang Ping was researching K Therapy, though initially without high expectations, just a try-out mindset.
Without the absolute trust of Sisi's parents and Sisi herself, Yang Ping dared not use this immature new therapy directly on a patient. But Sisi and her parents had absolute trust in Yang Ping, handing their life to him, accepting any outcome without regret.
Yang Ping did not let them down. Now, all examination results show no traces of the tumor.
