Recently, the Department of Urology at Taikang Xianlin Gulou Hospital, Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School, successfully performed a urethral memory metal prostate stent implantation for 97-year-old Mr. Sun, a resident of Taikang Zhijia Huiyuan with severe benign prostatic hyperplasia complicated by urinary retention. Right after the surgery, Mr. Sun regained spontaneous urination and no longer needed an indwelling urinary catheter.

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.

Genetic testing plays a vital role in diagnosing and treating hematologic malignancies. It enables precise disease classification, prognostic stratification, and personalized treatment planning, guiding targeted therapies and minimizing adverse reactions. By detecting gene mutations and monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD), it helps assess relapse risks and improve patient outcomes.

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

Clinical evaluations are systematically carried out centered on five core laboratory divisions (naming varies across hospitals): Cell Morphology Laboratory, Pathological Diagnosis Laboratory, Flow Cytometry Laboratory, Cytogenetics Laboratory, and Molecular Diagnosis Laboratory. Corresponding tests include cell morphology and cytochemical staining, pathology and immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, karyotype analysis, FISH, gene testing, etc.

A major new medical policy has arrived! Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines are now available for 6 types of digestive system tumors, including pancreatic, liver, gastric, and colorectal cancer. This tailored vaccine trains your immune system to target residual cancer cells, greatly lowering recurrence risk and extending survival. Important: eligibility must be confirmed BEFORE surgery, as fresh tumor tissue is required for vaccine development. Don’t miss this life-changing opp

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.

There is no “safe amount of alcohol” Forget the myth that moderate drinking benefits health. Alcohol itself is a Group 1 carcinogen. Acetaldehyde from alcohol metabolism directly damages DNA and induces gene mutations. People who flush when drinking (genetic deficiency) face even higher risk. Long‑term drinking increases risks of oral, esophageal, liver, and breast cancers. Barbecue plus drinking combines two hazards for greater harm. Don’t drink if you can avoid it; drink l

Clinicians can use VR devices to access a first-person perspective and accurately perform remote auscultation, bedside ultrasound, medical record and monitoring data review and other operations. This not only reduces infection risks and eases the heavy workload of medical staff, but also ensures timely treatment for critically ill patients, helping hospitals and grassroots cooperative institutions deliver standardized critical care.

Rectal cancer care is now defined by precision, individualization and function priority: 1.Precision evaluation: MRI and CT for accurate tumor mapping 2.MDT collaboration: colorectal surgery, radiotherapy, oncology, radiology 3.Technical innovation: robotic surgery, neoadjuvant therapy, Cai’s Stent, Parks procedure 4.Patient‑centered: tailored to age, function needs and economic status

Young and middleaged people with longterm smoking, staying up late, and high mental stress, as well as patients with hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, are all highrisk groups for sudden cardiac death.In addition to controlling “three highs,” quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and maintaining regular routines, regular physical examinations can detect problems early for timely intervention. Electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and Holter monitor are basic tools fo

Unlike CAR-T therapy which is mainly concentrated in hematologic malignancies, NK cell therapy has broader application scenarios. It not only shows good prospects in the treatment of solid tumors such as lung cancer, liver cancer and colorectal cancer, but also has potential value in autoimmune diseases, neurological diseases and other fields, making up for the shortcomings of existing treatment methods.

NK cells can precisely identify abnormal hyperplastic cells in the thyroid, inhibit continuous nodule growth, secrete various cytokines, regulate local immune balance in the thyroid, relieve chronic inflammation, and block the formation and progression of nodules fundamentally.

Current research and clinical data demonstrate that NK cell therapy, with its advantages of high specificity, high safety and no obvious adverse reactions, has become a new direction for liver cancer treatment. It shows irreplaceable value especially in the treatment of intermediate and advanced liver cancer and liver cancer with high postoperative recurrence risk.

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

This article presents the diagnosis and treatment course of a 67-year-old female patient with ES-SCLC. Through two MDT discussions and based on the latest clinical research evidence, an individualized regimen of “first-line immunotherapy + chemotherapy + anti-angiogenesis therapy → local radiotherapy → combined maintenance therapy” was formulated. The patient finally achieved stable disease and symptom relief.providing practical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of ES

The recovery time after intramedullary nail fixation mainly depends on the speed of bone healing, generally taking 3–6 months. Postoperatively, intensive care of the injured site is required. During bone recovery, patients can take bone healing-aiding drugs as prescribed by doctors

As a common high-incidence cancer unique to men, prostate cancer often develops silently to an advanced stage without obvious symptoms. When many prostate cancer patients seek medical treatment, they not only focus on the treatment method itself but also worry about whether the treatment process and subsequent recovery will bring inconvenience and embarrassment to their lives and work. So, is there a non-invasive way to effectively treat prostate cancer?

The orthopedic team has successfully performed minimally invasive posterior intermuscular approach internal fixation surgery for the upper cervical spine, which is one of the most minimally invasive upper cervical spine technologies in the world. It can greatly reduce intraoperative muscle damage and blood loss, allowing patients to get out of bed and move around soon after the operation.
