Mr.Wang, a 55-year-old factory director, underwent surgery at a local hospital after suffering from colon cancer in 2019. The disease progressed in the second half of 2020. The patient was unable to sleep through the night due to pain and came to GHG medical center for further diagnosis and treatment. The GHG medial team provided a multidisciplinary care service(MDC) for him. The MDC was quickly initiated, and the experts from internal medicine, surgery, imaging, nutrition, and other departments carried out detailed discussions about the patient's condition. A set of combined immune and targeted treatment programs was tailored for him according to the molecular typing of the tumor, as well as the genetic test results, in combination with domestic clinical practice and international research results. Anti-tumor treatment achieved the expected response, and the pain was gradually relieved until disappeared.

"There was a new drug on the market at that time, and the doctors thought it was especially suitable for us. We were worried that it might be unavailable for me, however, it was used very soon unexpectedly. The kitchen here was very humane. I could not get used to Shanghai food, but my family could cook home dishes for me in the kitchen. Now that I've been fighting cancer for more than 4 years, it's like my second hometown here, making me feel like I'm not struggling but living for another day".
