Technology and Clinical Innovation
Proton heavy ion therapy: a pioneer and leader in advanced radiotherapy technology
As early as the early 1990s, I participated in research related to proton heavy ions during my study abroad in Japan, and actively promoted the deep integration of proton therapy with industry, academia, and research after returning home. At present, he has served as the vice chairman and secretary-general of the Proton and Heavy Ion Radiotherapy Special Committee of the Chinese Association for the Promotion of Human Health Science and Technology, the leader of the Proton and Heavy Ion Radiotherapy Expert Advisory Committee of the Beijing Medical Association, and has been invited by many institutions or hospitals, such as the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to serve as a guest researcher or general consultant and other positions in the tripartite cooperation between Hebei Yizhou Cancer Hospital, Peking University First Hospital and the Beaumont Proton Therapy Center of the United States, Conduct weekly joint rounds, review and optimize the treatment plans and target areas of all proton therapy patients at Yizhou Hospital, ensuring that all patients can receive internationally advanced diagnostic and treatment services. At the same time, clinical and scientific research are driven by two wheels, and the three parties jointly carry out high-level joint research to jointly cultivate graduate students in the field of proton radiation physics, Currently, there is a 'Redefine the Role oiProton Beam Therapy for the Local-Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Assisting the Reduction of ActHematological Toxicity' investing the Dosimetric and Potential Clinical Benefits Utilizing Stereotactic BodRadiation Therapy With Simultaneous Integrated Boost Technique for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: Comparison Between Photon and Proton Beam Therapy ' Multiple research results have been published internationally.
Prostate cancer: Establishing international advanced diagnostic and treatment standards, rewriting international authoritative guidelines for prostate cancer three times
Drawing on the delineation and quality control standards of prostate cancer radiotherapy target areas from 8 renowned European and American hospitals in the field of prostate cancer radiotherapy, combined with the characteristics of prostate adenoma incidence in China, drawing on strengths and weaknesses, and carefully summarizing, establish the prostate cancer radiotherapy standards of Peking University First Hospital. Under the same therapeutic effect, the rectal protection effect is better, and the incidence of side effects is better than that of foreign countries. In 2022, the research results on the selection of radiation dose after radical prostatectomy were adopted by the prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment guidelines jointly developed by six societies including the European Society of Urology (EAU). This is the third revision of the international prostate cancer radiation treatment standards after two studies changed the 2018 ESTRO prostate cancer radiation treatment guidelines.
Bladder cancer: establish a characteristic bladder preservation mode - higher local control rate and less side effects
Establishing a characteristic bladder preservation treatment model that can not only provide high-dose radiation to the local tumor area, but also protect the normal bladder wall from only receiving low-dose prophylactic radiation. Research results show that the local control rate of the tumor can reach 95%, and the side effects are smaller, which is significantly better than foreign standard treatment plans. In 2022, a study that confirmed that postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy can reduce local recurrence of renal and ureteral cancer patients and described the map of local recurrence locations in detail was cited by NCCN bladder cancer guidelines. Kidney cancer: Exploring a new mode of combining stereotactic radioablation therapy with targeted and immunotherapy to break through treatment bottlenecks. Taking the lead in China, we are conducting research on the combination of stereotactic radioablation therapy with targeted and immunotherapy for kidney cancer. While supplementing systemic therapy, we aim to enhance the local control rate of kidney cancer lesions, which is expected to break through the current treatment bottleneck and bring new hope to patients with recurrent/metastatic kidney cancer!
Esophageal cancer: Two studies cited by the International Esophageal Cancer Guidelines
The original research findings on "Subclinical Target Mapping for Esophageal Cancer Radiotherapy" were adopted by the 2013 NCCN Esophageal Cancer Treatment Guidelines and continue to be used today. Later, they were cited in textbooks from various countries, benefiting esophageal cancer patients worldwide. Another comparative study on esophageal cancer surgery and chemotherapy was cited five times by the American Radium Society (ARS guidelines) in 2021, providing guidance for the initial treatment selection of resectable esophageal cancer in the real world.
