Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Conquering Cancer!

"Qin Yun, how’s the liver cancer research going?" After dinner, Qin Yun and Yu Leyao strolled casually within the neighborhood, with Yu Leyao asking this.

She knew that Qin Yun’s mother had been diagnosed with liver cancer, and she often visited Zhao Mei in the hospital.

"There’s been some progress, but we’re still missing something." Qin Yun shook his head.

The research on liver cancer indeed had significant breakthroughs, but at that moment, Professor Yuan and his team had encountered a major bottleneck, which had stuck them for over half a month with no progress.

After staying in the neighborhood for a while, the two went to the hospital.

"Leyao." Seeing Yu Leyao come in, Zhao Mei was delighted in her heart and held onto her hand without letting go.

Meanwhile, Qin Yun went to find his father, Qin Guodong, who spoke about Old Mr. Qin’s condition.

He had been taking care of Zhao Mei in Jinling and seldom returned, but he had always been very concerned about his father’s health.

"Your uncle said that this time your grandpa really doesn’t have more than a few months to live." Qin Guodong sighed.

Now that the Qin Family’s life was getting better, it was supposed to be a time to enjoy prosperity, but Old Mr. Qin’s health wasn’t doing well.

However, life’s end is a natural rule, and no one can live forever, not even with the Wealth Gathering Array, Qin Yun could do nothing to stop it.

...

Time continued to pass, and November slipped away with the booming sales of Celestial Fortune phones.

Soon, November was over, and December began.

As the year was coming to a close, Celestial Fortune truly took on the image of a champion, rising continuously, with no one able to halt its development.

Alongside the international sale of Celestial Fortune Batteries and cooperation with foreign phone manufacturers, Celestial Fortune Shampoo and toothpaste were also being wholesaled abroad, beginning to capture significant market share!

Effective products were never worried about not selling, and Celestial Fortune Shampoo and toothpaste were incredibly popular overseas.

Of course, there were still suppressions abroad, and its sales there were still much less than domestically.

On December 30th, just one day before the New Year, the Celestial Fortune Medical Research Institute had made another major breakthrough!

And this breakthrough was in liver cancer!

"Professor Yuan, did you really discover a way to treat liver cancer?" Qin Yun was in another province at the time, and upon hearing the news, he returned to Jinling as quickly as possible.

In the laboratory, he asked excitedly.

"Yes, Qin Yun, take a look; this is the cancer treatment compound we’ve developed."

Yuan Daozong was also very excited, holding a small bottle with a small amount of the compound inside.

He explained the specific principle of treating cancer to Qin Yun, but Qin Yun didn’t really understand.

Professor Yuan thought for a moment and then explained it with an analogy: "Qin Yun, cancer cells are part of our body, formed from mutated ordinary cells. Normal cells like to grow in clusters, while cancer cells are like rebellious teenagers running away from home. Once they leave, that’s the cancer cells spreading, and then it’s late-stage cancer."

Cancer cells that haven’t spread are typically considered early-stage cancer, with a longer survival time than late-stage cancer that has spread and also have the possibility of being cured.

And cancer patients are most worried about the spreading of cancer cells.

"If we think of the human body as a highway, then the spread of cancer cells is equivalent to getting on cars on this highway, constantly moving forward, and using the road network to find a ’new home’ where they could ’take root and sprout’. The metastatic cancer cells are like ’seeds’, needing to find ’fertile soil’, which is the microenvironment within secondary tumor organs suitable for cancer cells to thrive."

Qin Yun nodded, not speaking and continuing to listen.

Professor Yuan continued, "And on that highway, the cars responsible for transporting cancer cells include fibroblasts and epithelial cells of the lungs, hepatic macrophages, and brain endothelial cells."

"Based on this, as long as we interrupt the communication between cancer cells and the fibroblasts and epithelial cells of the lungs, hepatic macrophages, and brain endothelial cells, and block the fusion of specific cancer cells (or their specific exosomes) with the benign cells of the host organ, then we can successfully prevent the metastasis of cancer cells!"

"The substance in this compound is a special type of cell we’ve extracted, which can form a protective layer among the fibroblasts and epithelial cells of the lungs, hepatic macrophages, and brain endothelial cells, isolating the communication with those mutant cancer cells!"

Professor Yuan said excitedly, "This is equivalent to isolating the transport vehicles! It won’t allow cancer cells to have the opportunity to go out. Additionally, this special cell also has another function, which is to decompose the immobilized cancer cells!"

It can restrict cancer cell metastasis and also decompose the immobilized cancer cells. Clearly, the final outcome can only be one.

The cancer cells confined within a certain area are all decomposed, then completely disappear, posing no further harm to the body.

At that point, the cancer cells are completely gone.

With such an analogy, Qin Yun easily understood.

He bore a joyous expression on his face; with the compound developed, his mother’s liver cancer could finally be cured.

"Professor Yuan..." Qin Yun was about to say something when a thought struck him, and he directly asked, "Is this compound only targeted at liver cancer?"

Theoretically, the characteristics of all cancers are the same, which is the infinite division of mutated cells, metastasis, and so forth.

Professor Yuan just mentioned that this compound can identify cancer cells, so can it identify cancer cells anywhere in the body?

"Haha, Qin Yun, it seems you’ve already guessed it!"

Professor Yuan’s face was full of smiles as he said, "According to our research, this compound can theoretically treat any cancer!"

"Treat all cancers?" Hearing Professor Yuan’s words, Qin Yun’s eyes immediately showed a trace of shock.

The essence of cancer is the same—it is cells undergoing malignant changes, transforming from normal cells into malignant ones, which can lead to local invasive growth and distant metastasis. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

But now, could this specially developed compound target all cancer cells?

If true, it would undoubtedly be a significant research result, impacting and benefiting the whole world!

Slightly shocked for a moment, Qin Yun quickly regained his composure.

"Professor Yuan, please stay in the laboratory a bit longer, along with the others." He said directly.

Once this technology is leaked, it will certainly stir up tremendous commotion!

Now with over seven billion people in the world, the proportion of cancer patients is astonishing, with at least a hundred million people affected.

The impact is too great.

Yuan Daozong understood the situation; he looked at Qin Yun, his eyes bright, and asked, "Qin Yun, what do you plan to do?"
