"Master, I'm afraid this is the cancer that the camp leader mentioned before, right?" The assistant next to him looked at the tumor and asked Li Xuan with some uncertainty.

Li Yan nodded and said, "Intestinal tumor should be cancer. I didn't expect Grandpa Cao to have such a serious disease..."

What is cancer? In medicine, cancer refers to malignant tumors originating from epithelial tissue. That is to say, all malignant tumors can be called cancer, and then they are named gastric cancer, liver cancer, etc. according to their location.

In later generations, people almost talk about cancer, so as long as you get cancer, you are almost half-stepped into the door of death. But theoretically speaking, as long as you are an individual, there are proto-oncogenes in your body. Of course, the opposite is true.

All have tumor suppressor genes, because humans must rely on proto-oncogenes for cell division, proliferation and growth. Cancer cells suddenly mutate during normal division and can multiply indefinitely and destroy normal cell tissues. However, such mutations

Just like computer bugs, they are more likely to occur later in life.

This is also the reason why the ancients' fear of cancer was not as strong as that of later generations. The ancients almost never had the chance to live to the age when bugs like cancer appeared in their bodies. However, this does not mean that there was no cancer in ancient times. Muscle tumors were mentioned as early as in the "Huangdi Neijing"

, intestinal tumors, and descriptions of past tumors, but a clearer understanding of cancer had to wait until the Song Dynasty. The "Ren Zhai Zhi Zhi Fang Lun" written by Yang Shiying in the Song Dynasty already had detailed records of the incidence of breast cancer. Cancer

This word was only invented in the Song Dynasty.

However, due to the lack of microscopic observation tools such as microscopes, traditional Chinese medicine has never understood the causes of various cancers. It was not until the 19th century that German medical scientists used microscopes to determine the existence of cancer cells and took this as an opportunity.

It has taken Western medicine a big step towards modern medicine, taking the lead in entering the cell age.

Again, it's just a matter of missing a few pieces of glass.

"Master, this tumor is so big. I thought it just hurt the internal organs and could be sutured, but I didn't expect it to be such a serious disease."

The person who spoke was Gao Jun, Li Jue's proud disciple. He had done countless surgeries and sutured wounds under Li Jue over the years.

"The camp owner said before that cancer can only be cured if it is completely removed. However, this tumor has spread all around the large intestine. If it is not removed properly, it can easily cause massive bleeding. Master, I think it is better to suture the wound and close the abdomen."

Tian Min, another assistant, advised.

He is also a disciple of Li Jue.

Li Yan hesitated for a while, finally nodded, shook his head and said, "Tian Min, you go prepare pen and paper. I said you draw. We will draw the distribution of Cao Taigong's tumors first, and we will figure out a way later."

Outside the house, Cao Ang saw the door suddenly open and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Li, how is the situation?"

Li Yan looked at everyone with a serious expression, and then said, "Family members, come here, others should leave here first."

Xun Yan couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He must be sure whether he was rescued or not.

After Xun Yan and others left, Li Yan said, "The arrow in Taigong's body is nothing. I have opened Taigong's abdomen, taken out the arrowhead, cleaned the wound with physiological saline, and then taken sulfonamide, plus the blood donated by the prince, and treated it as nothing."

Serious problem.

But after the abdominal opening, it was discovered that Taigong's intestines were densely covered with tumors. This was a serious disease called intestinal cancer. The only way to save it was to cut off the diseased intestines, but this method is extremely dangerous and I am not completely sure."

As he said this, Tian Min, who was standing next to him, opened the map of the intestinal cancer tumors drawn by Cao Song and showed it to Cao Ang.

"How sure is Dr. Li? What will happen if he doesn't cut it?"

"Less than 20%. If not removed, such a large tumor may kill someone at any time, maybe tomorrow or next year." Li Yan also told the truth.

Cao Ang and Xiahou Dun looked at each other, and they did not dare to make such a big decision.

This is also the reason why Li Yan decided to have his abdomen closed. If Cao Song did not die from the arrow wound but died under Li Yan's scalpel, it would be a lot of fun.

Even if Cao Cao bites the bullet, he still has to fight Ma Qiang.

"It's better to wait until the grandpa wakes up and let him make his own decision." This was not the first time Li Yan faced such a situation, and he immediately came up with a solution.

Unless the patient cannot regain consciousness, the operation should obtain the signed consent of the person being operated on. Both Ma Qiang and Li Yan have seen countless medical troubles, so they naturally understand this basic principle.

Cao Song woke up soon after.

The current anesthetic is still the Mafei powder given by Hua Tuo, and the main drug is the flower of sin.

Ma Qiang also didn't expect that Hua Tuo could release the medicinal effects of the Flower of Sin so perfectly using traditional medicine, almost equivalent to a weak version of morphine.

In a word, Hua Tuo is awesome!

When Cao Song woke up, he learned good news and bad news.

The good news is that the arrow wound is fine, and it only takes three months to recover.

The bad news is that even after three months of training, his life may be lost at any time.

Cao Song was so frightened that he fainted again.

Everyone is destined to die, but no one wants to know when he will die. Watching death approaching him step by step is more terrifying than death itself.

When Cao Song woke up again, he saw Jia Shi crying like a tearful person beside his bed and Cao Ang and others standing beside him. He hurriedly looked up and looked around, and then asked, "Where is Dr. Li?"

Li Yan walked up from behind and asked, "Is Mr. Cao feeling okay?"

"Doctor Li! I have cancer. Is there really no other way?"

Li Yan shook his head and said he was helpless.

Cao Song first lowered his head in disappointment, and then felt that he was very lucky. No matter what, he had saved his life.

"Ang'er, I miss your dad." Cao Song looked at Cao Ang. Cao Ang stepped forward and held Cao Song's hand and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, we will go back to Yanzhou right now."

Cao Song gave up his plan to remove the tumor. He was timid and unwilling to take risks, and Li Yan had no objection.

Cao Song's condition was quickly sent to Ma Qiang's desk. Ma Qiang flicked the paper recording the information and said to Guo Jia and Jia Xu with a smile, "It's good now. Cao Song is finally saved."

"Ming Gong, this is a letter from Cao Cao." Guo Jia handed a letter to Ma Qiang.

Ma Qiang took it and opened it, took a breath and said, "One month... Where can Tao Qian find someone to give it to him? Cao Mengde is determined to attack Xuzhou."

"At least we have to attack Mount Tai. Mount Tai overlooks the three states and is a battleground for military strategists. Cao Cao thought about Mount Tai for more than a day or two."
