Overcoming Adversity: Journey with Recurrent Brain Tumor 克服逆境:与复发性脑肿瘤的抗争之旅


Recurrent Brain Tumor

In 2012, Mrs. Herin was diagnosed with an aggressive and recurrent brain tumor, positioned critically near the optic nerve and brain stem. Following an initial surgical intervention, the tumor returned, adhering to sensitive areas that made further surgical options highly risky. The tumor’s location near the optic nerve and brain stem presented additional complications, as pressure on these structures can lead to severe neurological impairments, including loss of vision, motor dysfunction, and in some cases, life-threatening complications. Mrs. Herin’s prognosis was dire, with a survival expectancy of less than six months due to the tumor’s recurrence and positioning.

2012年,Herin女士被诊断出复发性恶性脑肿瘤,肿瘤位置非常关键,紧贴视神经和脑干。经过初次手术后,肿瘤复发,且粘附在敏感区域,使进一步的手术风险极高。肿瘤的位置靠近视神经和脑干,这带来了额外的并发症,因为对这些结构的压迫可能导致严重的神经损伤,包括视力丧失、运动功能障碍,甚至在某些情况下引发危及生命的并发症。由于肿瘤复发和位置的原因,Herin女士的预后极为严峻,医生预计她的生存期不超过六个月。

However, in an extraordinary turn, Mrs. Herin pursued an innovative therapeutic approach that involved non-invasive cancer therapy ECCT. This technology utilizes low-frequency electric fields designed to target and inhibit cancerous cell growth without damaging surrounding healthy tissues. The electric fields are believed to disrupt cancer cell proliferation, leading to necrosis (cell death) of the tumor mass over time. Unlike conventional chemotherapy or radiation, which often come with systemic side effects, ECCT’s localized approach helped limit the spread and allowed her body’s immune system to manage remaining cancer cells.

然而,在一个非凡的转折中,Herin女士选择了一种创新疗法,即非侵入性电容抗癌疗法(ECCT)。这种技术利用低频电场,旨在靶向并抑制癌细胞的生长,而不会损害周围的健康组织。低频电场被认为能够破坏癌细胞的增殖,导致肿瘤组织逐渐发生坏死(细胞死亡)。不同于通常伴有系统性副作用的传统化疗或放疗,ECCT的局部治疗方法帮助限制了癌症的扩散,同时允许她的免疫系统管理剩余的癌细胞。

Over the next few months, imaging studies revealed a significant decrease in tumor activity. Her optic nerve remained functional, albeit with some visual impairment, and there was no evidence of further tumor growth or spread. Follow-up scans over the years showed stable results, indicating that the tumor had not recurred. Remarkably, Mrs. Herin has now surpassed a decade post-diagnosis, living in stable condition with no major complications beyond mild vision challenges, which she manages effectively.

在接下来的几个月中,成像研究显示肿瘤活动显著减少。尽管视力有所损伤,她的视神经功能依然完好,且没有发现肿瘤进一步生长或扩散的迹象。多年来的后续扫描显示出稳定的结果,表明肿瘤没有复发。值得注意的是,Herin女士现已超过诊断后的十年,生活状况稳定,除了轻微的视力问题外没有其他重大并发症,而且她能够有效应对这些视力问题。

Mrs. Herin’s case exemplifies the potential of novel therapeutic approaches like ECCT in treating complex cancers that would otherwise be considered inoperable or difficult to manage with conventional methods. Her continued remission over more than ten years serves as an encouraging indication of the effectiveness of alternative therapies in conjunction with regular medical monitoring. Her resilience and positive outcomes highlight the importance of personalized treatment plans and ongoing research into non-invasive cancer treatments.

Herin女士的案例展示了ECCT等新型疗法在治疗复杂癌症方面的潜力,这些癌症原本可能被视为难以手术或用传统方法管理。她超过十年的持续缓解状态,为替代疗法与定期医学监测的有效性提供了鼓舞人心的证据。她的坚韧和积极的治疗结果突显了个性化治疗方案的重要性,以及对非侵入性癌症治疗持续研究的必要性。
