View this email in your browser New Hope for Liver Cancer Patients - "Reduce and Remove" Tri-modality Therapy 肝癌治療新曙光—「先縮後除」綜合治療方案 The emergence of the new "Reduce and Remove" Tri-modality Therapy has brought new hope to intermediate stage liver cancer patients who were previously unable to undergo surgery. A recent clinical study on the therapy* shows that some of the patients with inoperable liver cancer can become suitable for curative surgery after a reduction of the tumour size achieved via the tri-modality approach. This less invasive treatment also allows less hospitalisation time, fewer side effects, and hence less discomfort for patients.   *The results of the clinical study has been published in The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology. 隨著醫療技術發展，新研發的「先縮後除」綜合治療方案便為以前無法接受手術的中期肝癌病人帶來曙光。臨床研究* 結果顯示，透過此嶄新療法，可令部分原先不能進行手術的肝癌病人的腫瘤縮小至可用手術切除，以提高肝癌根治機會。新治療方案更大大縮短病人的所需住院時間、減低創傷性，同時副作用亦都較少，病人的不適亦隨之減少。 *有關研究結果已刊登於《刺針腸胃病學及肝臟病學》（The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology），僅供英文版本。 Gleneagles' column on Sky Post   Gleneagles' Co-Director of Joint Replacement Centre and Specialist in Orthopaedics & Traumatology Dr Chan Ping-keung shared how robotic-arm assisted joint replacement helps patients with hip arthritis.

Patients usually do not feel obvious pain during the early stage of osteoarthritis, but they may feel pain during exercise. When arthritis gets worse, patients may suffer from pain that affects their daily life. Their mobility may also be affected when the joints become deformed and stiff. If patients suffer from joint pain that hinders their daily life, they should consider surgery as a treatment option, suggested by Dr Cheung Man-hong Steve, Clinical Assistant Professor of Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, School of Clinical Medicine at The University of Hong Kong and Gleneagles' Specialist in Orthopaedics & Traumatology. Knee replacement surgery is generally catagorised into two types: full or partial knee replacement, both surgeries are well established. Dr Cheung mentioned that the number of patients which adopt partial knee replacement has been increased in recent years. Partial knee replacement surgery replaces the parts of injured or worn-out knee joints while keeping the normal part of cruciate ligament and meniscus. The surgery is less invasive and allows shorter recovery time. In recent years, robotic arms have also been used to assist in joint replacement surgeries, further improving the surgical accuracy. 🔎Click here to watch a video (*in Cantonese only) in which Dr Cheung Man-hong Steve shares the other treatment options for osteoarthritis and ways to prevent knee degeneration.  膝關節退化最新治療發展   骨關節炎是常見的退化性關節疾病，年紀增長、退化問題、曾受過創傷都是骨關節炎的成因。於骨關節炎初期，患者走路時不會感到明顯痛楚，有機會只是在運動時才感到疼痛。然而，當關節炎進一步惡化，患者可能會因疼痛而影響日常生活。當關節變形及僵硬時，更有可能影響患者的活動能力。香港大學臨床醫學學院矯形及創傷外科學系臨床助理教授、港怡醫院骨科專科醫生張文康醫生指出，如患者因關節疼痛而妨礙到日常生活時，可考慮手術治療方案。 膝關節手術一般分為全膝關節置換（全骹）和半膝關節置換（半骹）手術兩種，現時兩種手術發展程度已非常成熟。張醫生指出，近年採用半膝關節置換手術的病人數目與日俱增。半膝關節置換手術只換取退化部分，正常的十字韌帶和半月板組織則可保留，手術對病人創傷性較低，復原亦較快；而近年採用的機械臂輔助關節置換手術，更能進一步提高手術準繩度。 🔎請即觀看短片，由張文康醫生解說其他膝關節炎的治療方案以及預防退化的方法。 Shaping Early Childhood Care for Physical, Mental and Social Development Young children benefit from stimulating experiences and support to reach developmental and emotional milestones, and learn healthy social skills to cope when they encounter problems.
