TCM Hsinchu Medical Center won two SNQ National Quality Mark Awards this year, namely "Turning the World - Transformation Therapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer" and "GREAT - Smart Medicine Cabinets Leading the Comprehensive Innovation of Traditional Chinese Medicine". President Chen Ziliang went to the Presidential Palace to accept the President Tsai Ing-wen praised, and President Tsai thanked the hospital for setting a quality model and jointly promoting the international influence of Taiwan's medical care and the vision of forward-looking medical development. Dean Chen Ziliang thanked all participating colleagues for their innovation and hard work, saying that the glory belongs to everyone.
Dean Chen Ziliang said that with the effective three-in-one intensive chemotherapy method of conversion therapy, it can help patients to have the most effective conversion therapy, transforming the original unresectable colorectal metastases into a resectable state, so that patients can get the best life Survival period.
Zhong Zhiyuan, director of the Cancer Center, pointed out that a 55-year-old female patient came to the doctor for symptoms of bloody stool, abdominal distension, and weight loss. She was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer with unresectable liver metastases. At the beginning, the liver metastases reached 8.6 cm, and the cancer index CEA value and CA19-9 value were all high. After the first three-in-one chemotherapy, the CEA value of the cancer index decreased from >10000ng/ml to 2.73 ng/ml, and the CA199 value decreased from 2879 U/ml to 8.2 U/ml in 4 months (the normal value of CEA<5ng/ml , CA199 normal value <37 U/ml), achieved significant improvement. During the follow-up treatment, the liver metastases shrunk to 1.2 cm, and he successfully completed two resections of liver metastases and colorectal lesion resection, achieving complete remission of the tumor and returning to normal life now.
Research evidence indicates that resection of metastases has the possibility of providing a cure. The 5-year survival rate of patients with unresectable liver metastases is close to 0%, while the 5-year survival rate of patients with resectable liver metastases can reach 43%-50%. In addition, about 10%-20% of patients develop lung metastases, and resection of pulmonary metastases can provide a 5-year survival rate of 25%-35% for some patients. In order to improve the cure rate of metastatic colorectal cancer patients, the cancer center and the colorectal surgery team adopt transformational therapy three-in-one strong chemotherapy to increase the chance of complete resection of metastatic lesions and no residual cancer cells in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Provide better survival rate for patients.
Chen Ziliang said that in response to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Department of Pharmacy cooperated with telemedicine to develop the "medicine delivery" and "customer decoction" services, adding a more convenient mode of receiving medicines, reducing the risk of patients entering and leaving the hospital and increasing the risk of infection. Customized services and all-round physical conditioning, integrate traditional Chinese medicine, pharmacy, information room and other specialties, and provide special medical services such as valet decoction and guidance on Chinese and Western medicine medication.
The hospital has introduced a traditional Chinese medicine smart medicine cabinet since the opening of the hospital, which will automatically prompt the location of the decoction pieces and the weight of the dispensing, while the electronic scale is connected to the smart dispensing system to automatically check the weight, and can simultaneously check the drug item, drug weight, drug repetition, and expiry date reminder Etc., not only improve service quality but also improve patient medication safety.
