Lu PengfeiProgrammed Oncology Technique

“The biological activity of a tumor can be inactivated.”
A five-step protocol - Screen · Control · Shrink · Devitalize · Block - that treats cancer as a systematic project: not merely shrinking a tumor, but inactivating it.

For patients with advanced, inoperable, recurrent or metastatic solid tumors, and for those who cannot tolerate the side effects of chemo/radiotherapy - a minimally invasive, precise and repeatable individualized approach.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

When conventional treatment reaches its limits, there is still a way forward

This technique focuses precisely on the complex cases often labelled “difficult to manage”

🚫
Tumor is inoperableUnfavourable location, involvement of major vessels, or the patient is unfit for surgery
💊
Cannot tolerate chemo or radiationSevere side effects, low blood counts, frailty - treatment cannot continue
🔁
Recurrence or metastasisNew lesions after resection, or spread to the liver, lung or bone
👴
Elderly or multiple comorbiditiesNeeds a less traumatic option with faster recovery, feasible in stages
CORE TECHNOLOGY

Five-step protocol: Screen · Control · Shrink · Devitalize · Block

Treating cancer as a systematic project - step by step, consolidating each gain into a complete care cycle

1

Screen - Precision Reconnaissance

High-resolution imaging (DSA, PET-CT, etc.) locates not only the tumor but also its feeding vessels - the tumor's “lifeline”.

DSA angiographyPET-CTPrecision targeting
2

Control - Cutting Off Supply

A microcatheter is superselectively advanced into the tumor-feeding artery to infuse high-concentration drug and embolize, starving the tumor.

MicrocatheterArterial infusionEmbolization
3

Shrink - Multi-dimensional Strike

Embolization, ablation (cryo / radiofrequency) and seed implantation break the tumor down from within, relieving compression.

4

Devitalize - Biological Inactivation ⭐

The core step: not just shrinkage, but destruction of the cellular structure - permanent inactivation of biological activity, the basis of recurrence prevention.

Key differencePermanent inactivationLess recurrence
5

Block - Long-term Surveillance

Rehabilitation and follow-up: immune modulation and circulating tumor cell monitoring to block new metastatic foci.

ADVANTAGES

Why choose the Programmed Oncology Technique

💉
Minimally invasive

Only a rice-grain sized incision - less trauma, faster recovery; most patients walk the next day.

🎯
Precise

Like a “biological missile” hitting the lesion; local drug concentration can be dozens of times that of systemic chemo, sparing healthy organs.

⚡
Effective

Acts directly on the tumor supply and the lesion itself - strong effect with fewer systemic side effects and better quality of life.

🔄
Repeatable

Unlike surgery, which is hard to repeat, interventional treatment can be staged and performed multiple times.

INDICATIONS

CASE STUDIES

Every case is a life safeguarded

Individual results vary; the following are shared for medical discussion only

Emergency care for massive hemoptysis in advanced lung cancerCase 1
Patient
63-year-old male, recurrence 4 years after lung cancer surgery, repeated massive hemoptysis with risk of asphyxiation
Approach
Angiography traced the culprit: an exceptionally rare internal mammary artery supply; superselective embolization was performed
Outcome
Bleeding stopped immediately; the patient was walking the next day
Salvage treatment of a disfiguring facial tumorCase 2
Patient
Middle-aged patient with a malignant pterygopalatine fossa tumor: unable to open the mouth or eat, severe facial deformity, deemed inoperable
Approach
Microcatheter infusion plus embolization at the skull-base lesion, followed by seed implantation
Outcome
Tumor reduced from 84 mm to 54 mm; facial contour restored, body weight up 10 kg
Embryonal carcinoma with multiple metastasesCase 3
Patient
42-year-old male, testicular embryonal carcinoma with multiple metastases (lymph nodes, retroperitoneum), unresponsive to conventional therapy
Approach
“Overall planning, eliminating them one by one”: vascular intervention combined with seed implantation
Outcome
Metastatic foci controlled, pain resolved, quality of life markedly improved

FAQ

What you may want to know first

How is this different from surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy?

It is a minimally invasive interventional approach: imaging pinpoints the tumor-feeding vessels, and a microcatheter is introduced through a rice-grain sized incision to infuse, embolize, ablate or implant seeds directly into the lesion. Compared with surgery it is far less traumatic and can be repeated; compared with systemic chemotherapy it achieves a much higher local drug concentration with fewer systemic side effects. Its core principle is to inactivate the tumor's biological activity rather than merely shrink it.

Am I suitable, and what should I prepare?

Please prepare your recent imaging and laboratory reports (CT / MRI / PET-CT, ultrasound, pathology, blood count, liver and kidney function). Send them to us and our specialists will carry out a preliminary review, then advise whether the technique is suitable, the likely protocol and the precautions. You may use the form or simply chat with us online.

Is the procedure painful, and how long is the hospital stay?

Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia through a rice-grain sized opening, and recovery is relatively fast. The exact observation and hospital stay depend on the tumor location, the number of lesions and the patient's general condition; this will be explained to you after the case review.

How do patients from other cities or overseas proceed?

You can first submit your reports through the form, WeChat or WhatsApp for an online preliminary review. Once our specialists give an initial opinion, you can arrange travel. A medical consultant will help you organize the documents and the treatment process.

Is the consultation charged, and how is my privacy protected?

Online preliminary consultation and case review are free of charge. The medical information you submit is used only for medical evaluation; we do not disclose it to third parties or use it for other commercial purposes.

Do not let “there is nothing more we can do” be the only answer
