Lung cancer is the most deadly cancer in the world! Is there still a chance of recovery from advanced lung cancer? A man in Taiwan sought medical treatment due to sudden shortness of breath and was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. However, 2 months after receiving one treatment method, the tumor almost completely disappeared.
Smoking for 30 years, suffering from shortness of breath and seeking medical attention to reveal the advanced stage of lung cancer
According to Taiwanese media reports, Wang Minghua, the attending physician at the Radiation Oncology Department of Taiwan’s Lianxin International Hospital, shared a case saying that the man surnamed Li was an engineer and had been smoking for 30 years. In September 2023, he developed shortness of breath and thought he was suffering from a chronic disease, so he went to the pharmacy to fill his prescriptions. However, his condition did not improve after taking the medicine, and his cough became more severe.

So he went to the hospital for chest X-ray and bronchoscopy, which revealed a narrowed airway and a 4 to 5cm tumor at the right hilus. The diagnosis of small cell carcinoma was confirmed by tissue biopsy, and it was confirmed to be stage 3 (late stage) lung cancer.
Tumors in advanced stage of lung cancer disappear with one treatment
Wang Minghua, the chief physician of the radiation oncology department of the hospital, said that Mr. Li’s lung cancer tumor had only spread locally and had not spread to other organs. After evaluation, it was decided to use the “Halcyon 2.0” high-efficiency radiotherapy linear accelerator. After a total of 35 treatments in 2 months, Mr. Li’s tumor almost completely disappeared, and he did not need to continue hospitalization. He did not even have major side effects and did not affect his daily work.
Dr. Wang said that the “Haoshen Knife” uses real-time image alignment, which can grasp the dynamics of the tumor and make real-time adjustments to control the tumor, thereby improving treatment effectiveness and accuracy with fewer side effects. He reminded that regular screening should be carried out for early detection and treatment.
Smokers are 20 times more likely to get cancer. There are 5 types of people who don’t smoke but also get cancer.
Lung cancer is also the number one fatal cancer in Hong Kong. According to the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, on average, 1 in 10 smokers will develop lung cancer, and the risk is 20 times that of non-smokers. Regular smokers of secondhand smoke are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop lung cancer than ordinary people. However, the Hospital Authority pointed out that all five categories of people are at high risk of lung cancer even if they do not smoke.
6 major causes of lung cancer
According to the Hong Kong Cancer Online Resource Center, in 2020, there were 5,422 new cases of lung cancer, accounting for 15.9% of the total new cancer cases in Hong Kong, ranking first among all cancers, and the male-female case ratio was approximately 1.5:1.
