21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 789 - 785 Treatment Plan

"How confident are you?" Jounouchi Hiromi asked Chen Yu the same question.

Looking at his wife, Chen Yu was composed and just laughed a bit before saying, "The confidence of curing someone is one hundred percent, but if confined to conventional methods, it’s fifty-fifty. In any case, no one will die."

Upon hearing Chen Yu’s words, Jounouchi Hiromi felt relieved. frёeωebɳovel.com

With Chen Yu’s skills, it was impossible for him to treat someone to death; her only concern was whether Chen Yu would use extraordinary methods to treat this patient.

After all, using conventional methods to cure a patient is considered a medical miracle, while using transcendent methods would simply be ’Magic’.

In modern society, in the mind of the public, this world still lacks magic.

"Then, husband, what do you plan to do? Do you need my help?" As the person most familiar with Chen Yu’s methods, Jounouchi Hiromi proactively offered her help after confirming that Chen Yu was confident.

However, Chen Yu shook his head and didn’t need Jounouchi Hiromi’s help: "Not for now; you focus on your own work first, and if I need help, I’ll let you know. Don’t forget you’re pregnant now and will soon be on maternity leave."

"I understand, but when you need me, you must let me know, husband!" Jounouchi Hiromi felt a bit shy from Chen Yu’s words but touched her belly with a happy face.

"Don’t worry, Professor Kube and Director Yamamoto have already promised to give me their full support. They will allocate a team of specialists from both surgery and internal medicine to me to ensure that no accidents occur during the treatment process. So, wife, you don’t have to worry, I’m not short-staffed," Chen Yu reassured Jounouchi Hiromi, as he certainly knew that women tend to become anxious during pregnancy.

Although Jounouchi Hiromi did not show this tendency, that didn’t prevent Chen Yu from soothing her emotions to keep her in a stable emotional state.

Hearing Chen Yu’s explanation, Jounouchi Hiromi relaxed a bit but was concerned about another issue: "Since Professor Kube and Director Yamamoto have both allocated staff for you, what’s your plan for treating this patient? Cancer that has spread throughout the body is not easy to treat!"

"At present, I’ve suppressed the activity of the cancer cells in the patient’s body with drugs. Next, I’m considering repairing his body first," explained Chen Yu, taking out his treatment plan for Jounouchi Hiromi: "After the cancer cells have spread, they’ve caused significant damage to the patient’s normal organs, which not only causes the patient pain but also leaves his body too weak to withstand more aggressive treatment methods.

So, after suppressing the activity of the cancer cells, I plan to let his body and organs recover to a certain level. This not only ensures that he can withstand the subsequent treatment but also improves his quality of life after completing the treatment."

Jounouchi Hiromi took the treatment plan from Chen Yu’s hands and, after carefully reading the content, thoughtfully asked Chen Yu, "Husband, do you plan to use the Healing Potion to boost his life vitality? Just like you did with Inomata-kun before?"

"Yes, it’s a practical and effective treatment, isn’t it? Once the patient’s physical condition has recovered to a certain level, chemotherapy and radiotherapy can both be used, and the efficiency and effectiveness of the treatment will be much better," Chen Yu nodded and affirmed Jounouchi Hiromi’s guess.

It’s similar to the previous example with the house and the termites; Chen Yu has now put all the termites in the house to sleep, immobile, yet the house is still full of holes and ready to collapse with a single push.

At this time, one shouldn’t think about exterminating the pests first, but rather reinforce the structure of the house to stabilize it, ensuring the house won’t fall down and can continue to be used after the pests are removed.

Otherwise, if the pests are gone and the house collapses, what would be the point?

"I understand what you mean, husband, but this patient’s cancer cells have already spread throughout the body. Let’s not even talk about chemotherapy for now; I’m afraid that radiotherapy would require a high dose of radiation treatment for his entire body. Is that really okay?" Jounouchi Hiromi was still somewhat worried about Chen Yu’s treatment plan.

Radiotherapy involves using radiation to target and kill cancer cells at their location as a form of treatment.

This is one of the main methods of treating cancer at present, and if surgical intervention is not considered in clinical practice, radiotherapy is a common treatment method.

However, during radiotherapy treatment, the patient’s body must expend a lot of energy to recover, imposing a heavy physical burden. Those with very poor health may not be able to withstand the stress of radiotherapy and can only opt for a gentler treatment approach.

In the face of Jounouchi Hiromi’s concerns, Chen Yu shook his head and said, "I don’t plan to use high-dose radiotherapy. Although I will use radiotherapy, I will mainly rely on targeted therapy, using medicine to eradicate the cancer cells."

Targeted therapy is actually a form of chemotherapy, which utilizes chemical drugs to destroy cancer cells, including the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs previously developed by Chen Yu and the various cancer-specific drugs commonly used in the medical community, all of which are part of chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical treatment – these are the three main approaches in modern medicine for treating cancerous tumors.

Radiotherapy and surgery are mostly used for localized treatment. Although radiotherapy can be used for whole-body treatment, such cases are not common. With the development and formulation of various new drugs in recent years, whole-body radiotherapy has been used less and less.

Unlike radiotherapy and surgery, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment that uses chemical drugs to achieve the effect of killing cancer cells throughout the body.

However, traditional chemotherapy drugs also damage the patient’s normal cells throughout the body while destroying cancer cells, creating a heavy burden.

Targeted drugs, which have become largely popular in recent years, are a form of local treatment within chemotherapy, targeting and destroying certain types of tumor cells in the patient’s body to reduce the physical burden on the patient.

The approach Chen Yu intends to use is naturally such a method. Remember, his original goal in researching broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs was to develop targeted drugs for all cancers. Although the current broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs have been targeted, they cannot yet kill cancer cells.

So strictly speaking, the drug Chen Yu initially wanted to develop is still unfinished, and this time he intends to take this opportunity to complete his research while treating the patient, applying the drugs already developed in the laboratory to clinical use and perfecting them.
