【Disease: Cervical Cancer】【Purpose: Radical Hysterectomy】【Outcome: Very Satisfied】 The environment in the gynecologic oncology ward is excellent. The Chief Physician is highly skilled, utilizing minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques to perform a thorough dissection of the lesions and lymph nodes. Postoperative recovery was rapid, with no complications such as urinary retention. The medical team not only provided effective treatment but also prioritized psychological support. This is an outstanding medical team.

[Disease: Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma] [Purpose: Chemotherapy] [Outcome: Complete Remission] The medical team in the Department of Lymphoma is highly professional, and the chemotherapy regimen was precise and effective. After completing six cycles of chemotherapy, a follow-up PET-CT scan showed that all lesions had completely disappeared. The physicians were consistently encouraging, and the nursing staff demonstrated excellent clinical skills. I am grateful to the entire team.

Post-consultation Review: Condition: Rectal cancer. Purpose of visit: Sphincter-preserving surgery. Treatment outcome: Highly satisfied. Professionalism: Because the tumor was located very close to the anal sphincter, the local hospital recommended a permanent colostomy. Seeking a second opinion, I visited Peking University Cancer Hospital. After a thorough evaluation, the physician successfully performed a minimally invasive sphincter-preserving surgery. The physician demonstrated exceptional clinical expertise and was highly empathetic to the patient's psychological needs, maintaining a supportive and professional demeanor during ward rounds.

Condition: Recurrent ovarian cancer. Purpose: Adjustment of chemotherapy regimen. As a patient experiencing a recurrence, the sense of despair was indescribable. However, the physician here demonstrated high professional standards in re-evaluating my case and providing new treatment recommendations. The doctor's manner was gentle and empathetic toward the patient's suffering, which is a source of great comfort for those with cancer. Since starting the new regimen, my tumor markers have begun to decrease, and my physical condition has improved significantly. I am very grateful.
