Last Sunday, we held the “Breathe With Me” gathering for lung cancer patients and their caregivers. 100 participants attended the luncheon event, which has now been held for the 3rd consecutive year. It was wonderful to see our friends again. As lung cancer treatments have advanced, many of our companions have even been in remission for 5-10 years. Despite their illnesses, they have never given up and have faced everything proactively.
We again invited Dr. Patricia Poon and patient representative, Michelle, to give sharing the latest lung cancer treatment information and provided words of encouragement to everyone.

中大醫學院影像及介入放射學系教授朱昭穎教授指出,組織碎化技術極具潛力應用於乳癌治療:「由於亞洲及中國女性的乳腺密度較白種女性為高,傳統乳房 X 光造影未必能偵測微細的乳房腫瘤,但超聲波卻能做到這點,因此依靠超聲波來確定癌症位置的組織碎化技術對亞洲及中國女性尤其有優勢。隨著科技不斷進步,具高強度超聲波的組織碎化技術極具潛力成為乳癌患者的『局部定位治療』方案,為不適合接受手術或拒絕接受傳統乳房切除手術的患者提供多一個無創選擇。」
