Chapter 1097 - 1059: Mutual Cooperation
Skeller, who had given suggestions, wasn't quite done and said excitedly, "Dr. Lin, Elenna's tumor was so severe, yet through surgery, you managed to bring her back from the brink of death.""Then, with your experimental therapy, she gained at least ten more years of life!"
"Ten years, that's ten years!"
Skeller waved his hands and shouted, "Dr. Lin, what do these ten years mean for a severe malignant tumor within the spinal canal?"
"It's not an exaggeration to say that you have completely conquered the treatment of malignant spinal tumors."
"This is surely a major medical research breakthrough that can win the Nobel Prize."
Lin Jie, stirred by his words, felt a surge of emotion.
He suppressed his excitement and said, "Dr. Skeller, it will only be confirmed by the middle of next month, and I'm so young, the Nobel Prize would not consider me for now, right?"
Skeller shook his head and sighed softly, "Dr. Lin, caution is a great virtue praised by everyone for a medical expert, but one mustn't be overly cautious."
"Although I'm not an expert in Clinical Medicine, if my assessment is correct, doing surgery on Elenna now should not have much difference in effectiveness compared to surgery done mid-next month, right?"
Lin Jie earnestly replied, "Dr. Skeller, there is still a big difference in effectiveness."
"If we operate now, the residual tumor tissue cannot be maximally removed, which means the tumor recurrence time may shorten from the initially estimated eight to ten years to about four to five years."
Skeller was momentarily at a loss for words and said gloomily, "Let's not worry about whether the tumor recurs in four to five years or eight to ten years."
"Dr. Lin, regardless of the years, doesn't this mean your experimental therapy has been successful in treating malignant spinal tumors?"
Lin Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "You could say that."
"There, you have it."
Skeller chuckled softly, "Dr. Lin, Elenna's current state is enough to prove that your experimental therapy can effectively treat malignant spinal tumors."
"This is a great achievement, one worthy of a Nobel Prize."
"Don't let your age matter too much!"
Skeller waved his hand and said, "When your achievements cause a sensation in the entire medical world, when your research results outshine other nominees..."
"Under the weight of such a trend, the Nobel Prize judging committee would face doubt from the entire medical community if they don't award you."
Skeller said confidently, "At that time, the Nobel judging committee would neither take nor dare to take that risk."
This also made Lin Jie quite excited.
He said still with some doubts, "Dr. Skeller, thank you for your high recognition of the experimental therapy. I am also confident that my research achievements are at the Nobel Prize level."
"However, to say that these achievements can outshine other Nobel Prize nominees, I really can't imagine."
Skeller suddenly patted Lin Jie's shoulder encouragingly, "Then dare to imagine."
"I noticed that the Chinese trait of being overly modest and cautious is particularly evident in you."
"If the achievement of effectively treating malignant spinal tumors is not enough to make you dare to imagine, let me suggest another achievement."
"If the cranial tumor of the Felix I brought can be cured through this experimental therapy, wouldn't that be another sensational achievement?"
"Can your experimental therapy treat complex, challenging cranial tumors?"
As Lin Jie was about to speak, Skeller gestured for him to listen, "Let me speak first."
"Expert Lin, you might have overlooked or not realized one very possible application area for this experimental therapy, which is treating recurrent cranial tumors."
After a slight moment of surprise, Lin Jie began to consider it deeply.
Skeller slowly continued, "Recurrent cranial tumors are often diffuse, making them difficult to treat through secondary surgeries."
"Therefore, for former cranial tumor patients..."
"When a cranial tumor is found to have recurred, it usually signifies the approach of death."
Skeller's eyes gleamed, "However, with your experimental therapy, with this 'Life One' inducer, we can induce the diffuse recurrent tumors to gather at one or several locations."
"This provides the possibility for secondary surgical treatment."
"Dr. Lin, wouldn't these two research achievements be enough for your accomplishments to overshadow other Nobel Prize nominees?"
Now realizing this, Lin Jie said with admiration, "Dr. Skeller, you really have awakened me with your words, I hadn't clearly thought about this."
Skeller chuckled, "In terms of professionalism and research, I am not as good as you frontline clinical experts."
"However, I read many medical papers each year, and once I generally go through them, I get a rough judgment of the main achievements and applications discussed in a paper, and its possible extended applications."
She looked at Lin Jie with bright eyes and said, "Dr. Lin, how about we collaborate?"
"As one of the world's four most authoritative medical journals, the influence of our 'The Lancet' in the medical community, there is no need for me to elaborate. We cheer for you, promote you."
"With your groundbreaking research achievements that are set to cause a global sensation, and with our endorsement, promotion, and momentum, those on the Nobel Prize committee wouldn't dare to ignore you."
"Next year's Nobel Prize is basically yours, Dr. Lin."
Lin Jie took a few rapid breaths, cautiously asking, "Since it's a collaboration? What do I need to do?"
"It's simple!"
Skeller waved her hand energetically and said, "Just prioritize publishing all your research and that of your students in 'The Lancet'."
She further explained, "To be frank, 'The Lancet' is never short of quality, even groundbreaking papers."
"However, academic results like this, which can stir up major discussions in the global medical field, are extremely scarce."
"Your innovative ideas keep emerging, and being so young, you're in a prolific period of research achievement, likely to last twenty to thirty years. You are a rare resource in the world's medical community."
"Put it this way, while 'The Lancet' is promoting you now, in a year or two, 'The Lancet' will need to borrow your influence!"
Skeller paused for a moment and candidly said, "From a private perspective, establishing a good cooperative relationship with a top physician like yourself is all beneficial and not at all harmful."
Lin Jie smiled as well, "From any angle, I can't see a downside for me."
"Dr. Skeller, happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
The two shook hands firmly.
After releasing hands, Skeller inquired, "Dr. Lin, about Felix's cranial tumor..."
Lin Jie contemplated and said, "I can only say there's a possibility of success."
"It will take at least a month and a half or two months to yield results."
Skeller pondered for a moment and said, "Then, in mid-May, first, publish your experimental therapy paper on spinal tumors, and then we can initiate and push this discourse about your experimental therapy for treating recurrent cranial tumors."
"If Felix's tumor treatment is successful by then, all the better."
"If not, by that time, there may still be cases reported of recurrent cranial tumors being treated through your experimental therapy."
Skeller chuckled lightly, "Dr. Lin, I have absolute confidence in this experimental therapy of yours."
"I'm sure that after your paper is published, many medical experts around the world will follow up on this experiment to treat recurrent tumors."
"Dr. Lin, just this 'Life One' inducer?"
Lin Jie introduced, "This 'Life One' inducer was improved by the Zhou Family, a traditional Chinese medicine family in Binhai with a history spanning hundreds of years, based on a carefully studied and inherited ancient formula."
"The Dr. Zhou accompanying you today is from the Zhou Family."
"He used modern scientific methods to purify and extract the traditional medicine brewed from this ancient formula, making it fit for human injection and absorption, without significant toxic or side effects."
"Although it's precious, for now, it can still be supplied in small quantities for experimental needs worldwide..."
Skeller said with satisfaction, "That puts my mind at ease..."
