Seven CAR‑T products have gained regulatory approval in China, predominantly targeting CD19 (for B‑cell leukaemia and lymphoma) and BCMA (for multiple myeloma). Each product has distinct indications. At experienced centres such as Beijing Boren Hospital, clinicians select optimal CAR‑T products tailored to each patient’s disease profile, subtype and target antigen expression.

Should patients receive a transplant after CAR‑T‑induced remission? When is the optimal timing? Is there hope for a second transplant? Will TP53 gene mutation inevitably result in relapse? These are frequent questions raised by parents of children with hematologic malignancies. In this session, Director Li Zhihui from Beijing Boren Hospital answers these key concerns one by one.

A Chinese American crossed oceans to receive life-saving treatment for gastric cancer at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. Having failed multiple therapies in the US, he was treated with CT041, the world’s first approved CAR-T therapy for solid tumors. Led by Dr. Zheng Yu’s team. The patient tolerated treatment well; his wound healed and condition improved. Targeting CLDN18.2, CT041 cuts progression or death risk by 63% for heavily pre-treated gastric cancer patients.

Congenital deafness occurs at an incidence of roughly 2 per 1,000 births, among which 50% to 60% stem from genetic factors. Over 140 pathogenic genes for hereditary deafness have been identified to date. Chen Ying and her supervisor Professor Wu Hao’s team focus on mutations in the OTOF gene, a leading cause of auditory neuropathy in children. Affected children are not completely deafThey can detect sound,yet perceive it as if through frosted glass.

“Medical tourism sits at the intersection of healthcare, trade and economic development. Over the next three to five years, China’s inbound medical tourism will experience rapid expansion. China is confident and capable of becoming a leading global medical‑tourism destination,” Dr. Hsiang concluded.

What Are the Advantages of da Vinci Robotic Liver Surgery? ✅ High-definition 3D vision: 10–15× optical magnification to clearly visualize blood vessels and bile ducts for more precise anatomical work. ✅ Wristed flexible instruments: Multi-angle rotation, greater dexterity than human hands for fine suturing in complex sites. ✅ Fluorescence-guided liver resection: Positive/counter staining technology defines liver segment borders, removing lesions while preserving healthy liver

A 30-year-old woman diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma worried about neck scars due to her keloid-prone skin. At Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital, Director Du Guoneng performed Da Vinci robotic-assisted thyroid surgery via a hidden axillary access. No neck incision, minimal bleeding, complete lesion removal & lymph node dissection while protecting nerves and parathyroid glands. Robotic thyroid surgery helps patients win both cancer treatment and cosmetic results.

A delegation from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital travelled to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan under the Belt and Road framework. Experts delivered live minimally‑in‑surgery demonstrations, keynote lectures and signed MOU for long‑term medical‑education & clinical collaboration. From complex renal‑tumour resection to high‑risk coronary‑intervention, Chinese‑medical expertise benefits Central‑Asian patients, advancing the “Health Silk Road” and building a Global Community of Health for Al

Twenty years ago, cochlear implants were seen as “magical gadgets”. Today, they represent the precise art of minimally‑invasive surgery. In an interview, Dr. Jia noted that with robotic‑assisted surgery, brain‑computer interfaces and other cutting‑edge technologies, China’s auditory reconstruction field will achieve a true leap: from “being able to hear” toward “hearing clearly”.

Most families only recognize the cosmetic impact of cleft lip and palate, yet its far-reaching effects on children’s growth underscore the necessity of systematic sequential treatment，Like Feeding difficulties: The palatal cleft creates an open passage connecting the oral and nasal cavities. Infants cannot generate negative oral pressure while sucking, leading to feeding struggles, choking during meals and milk regurgitation. Chronic feeding issues may hinder nutrient absorpt

Cleft Lip Repair – Optimal Window: 3–6 Months of Age Unilateral cleft lip surgery is recommended once the infant reaches 3 months of age with satisfactory body weight. Bilateral cleft lip patients with slower physical development may delay surgery to 5–6 months. Surgical goals: Layered suturing of lip muscles and skin to close the lip cleft, with concurrent minor correction of collapsed alae nasi and asymmetric nostrils.

Frequent nighttime urination, weak urine flow, and a feeling of incomplete emptying are common issues among middle-aged and older men, often linked to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This age-related condition affects quality of life but is manageable with lifestyle adjustments, medication, or minimally invasive surgery. If you experience persistent urinary discomfort, avoid self-diagnosis. Seek professional urological examination for timely and appropriate care.

A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a direct communication pathway between the human brain's neural signals and an external device or computer. Implantable BCI involves surgically placing microelectrode arrays directly onto or within the cortex, enabling high-resolution, real-time decoding of neural intent. This precision unlocks capabilities previously confined to science fiction: patients with complete paralysis can control computers, robotic limbs, or even stimulate their

In traditional oncology, the "trial-and-error" method has long been a frustrating reality for patients. Clinicians prescribe standard chemotherapy and targeted regimens based on global guidelines.Today, a revolutionary technology known as Organoid Drug Sensitivity Testing is dismantling this paradigm. By cultivating a patient's micro-scale "biological avatar" in the laboratory, clinicians can pre-screen and predict the most effective drug combination before administration.

The world’s first China-developed bone adhesive Bone 02 has earned dual recognition from China’s NMPA Innovative Medical Device pathway and U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. This revolutionary biomaterial bonds broken bones in wet, bloody conditions and gradually degrades as new bone forms, replacing traditional metal screws with less trauma and faster healing. With over 150 patients in clinical trials, it has shown excellent results in fracture repair, spinal fusion

MedTourChina Joins the YRD International Medical and Special Services Alliance! Exciting milestone! MedTourChina has officially joined the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) International Medical and Special Services Alliance. By integrating with top-tier healthcare resources across Shanghai and Hangzhou, we are further strengthening our ability to provide world-class, seamless medical services to international patients—from cross-border coordination to direct billing.

In the realm of advanced hepatobiliary oncology, a diagnosis of locally advanced, unresectable cholangiocarcinoma—especially with major vascular involvement—has historically been considered a clinical "dead end." However, a recent case from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital (SRRSH) is challenging this status quo, demonstrating how a "Conversion Therapy" paradigm can successfully redefine treatment boundaries.

“This is moyamoya disease, a chronic progressive occlusive cerebrovascular disorder,” Dr. Wang explained. “When the main arteries of the brain become blocked, the body attempts to compensate by growing many fragile abnormal small vessels. On angiography, these vessels look like smoke. This is not just a simple blockage; it is an extremely complex case where the body’s compensatory mechanism is on the verge of collapse.”

Snoring is more than just noise.In short, the harm of snoring:It causes repeated nighttime hypoxia and fragmented sleep, increasing the risk and treatment difficulty of systemic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, cerebral infarction, and diabetes. The earlier you get checked and treated, the better for your health.

Opens a New Solution PathIn Ms. Liu’s case, 3 billion “trained” NK cells entered her body, likely precisely identifying and clearing cells causing inflammation and abnormal proliferation, and remodeling the immune microenvironment. They not only greatly reduced the solid nodule but also eliminated the premenstrual pain that had troubled her for years. This treatment model, based on activating the body’s own immune function, breaks the traditional binary choice of “surgery or
