Mainly, she comes from a parallel world, so she cannot guarantee with 100% certainty whether the experimental results of this drug are the same as what she knows. Therefore, at most, she can only offer her opinion to teachers and seniors for reference. If the teachers determine there’s a need, they’ll naturally come to her. Because she let something slip to Senior Tao.
Senior Tao is a genuine academic prodigy, remembering every casual word she let slip with perfect clarity, embedding it in his bones.
"You speak." Zhang Huayao’s words, considering he was eavesdropping on someone at his own home, pointed at Tao Zhijie, asking if Student Xie knew secrets that others didn’t.
Oh, right, the Boss didn’t consider listening in on someone at his home as eavesdropping.
Tao Zhijie definitely rolled his eyes inwardly. After all this, he was exposed by his junior sister that the King of Vicious Talker on the opposite side was pretending, acting composed.
Let’s not bother for now. Tao Zhijie had to ask his junior sister, as the teacher’s offensive and defensive battle had reached this fork in the road: "What were you talking about last time at my house regarding the two drugs, Gemcitabine and Albumin-bound Paclitaxel?"
Duodenal cancer is close to the pancreatic cancer cells, which often affects the pancreas, and surgery usually involves cutting out part of the pancreas. These two diseases have similar aspects in treatment methods, given their anatomical proximity, making it difficult to clarify where the cancer cells originated first. Once again, it shows the critical importance of human anatomy. Senior Tao asked her if the chemotherapy drugs referred to in Li Yaxi’s case for treating pancreatic cancer should be equally effective for treating duodenal cancer.
Talking about these two drugs.
Gemcitabine is a second-line chemotherapy drug, introduced domestically not long ago. Albumin-bound Paclitaxel is a drug under clinical trials abroad, with its combination use with Gemcitabine undergoing clinical trials abroad.
Are second-line drugs good?
If there are second-line drugs, there must be first-line drugs.
The definition of first-line and second-line drugs might differ from what non-medical individuals imagine.
People often hear doctors say not to misuse antibiotics and might wrongly think doctors want to save antibiotics as ultimate weapons to use, implying they first use less effective drugs clinically to treat diseases.
In fact, when doctors fight against diseases, they never dare gamble and won’t reserve their ultimate weapon for last use. Facing diseases, it’s best to concentrate the most advanced firepower for an attack, ideally to eliminate it in one strike.
Diseases are the most horrific and ferocious enemy humanity has ever faced, structurally much simpler than humans, without the human brain, incapable of deep thinking, only intent on killing, a killing machine.
If not destroyed in a crushing manner, it will only increasingly counterattack robustly to kill people.
So, do you think doctors dare to underestimate a killing demon?
When doctors say not to misuse antibiotics, they mean don’t use ineffective drugs. Some diseases are resistant to antibiotics; taking them unnecessarily adds to bodily burden.
When diagnosis is clear, doctors go for a big attack. First-line drugs refer to those most effective, producing immediate effects against diseases, emphasis: most effective.
Second-line drugs are less choice drugs, with lesser efficacy.
Beyond first and second-line drugs, third-line drugs are used when doctors have no other weapon, no other choice, applying them as a desperate measure. Using second-line drugs as the next best option gives an idea of the severity of the patient’s condition.
This is how the offensive and defensive battle against tumors goes, retreating step by step out of necessity, targeting construction of defense works and seizing the opportunity to strike back.
