"Through this kind of "Guidelines", we hope to have a better understanding of patients' quality of life. In addition to the length of life, it can also make their lives thicker." It is reported that according to the "Guidelines", patient self-management will also be launched online. The Report mobile application strives to provide cancer patients with full management from screening, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation to follow-up.

Qu Jieming, Secretary of the Party Committee of Ruijin Hospital, said that Ruijin Hospital will continue to take the construction of MDT as the starting point, based on the improvement of the tumor specimen library and database, and relying on diagnosis and treatment standards, translational research, and innovative therapies to form a "whole-process management and rational layout" Ruijin’s oncology medical treatment features, as well as the nursing features of full symptom management of “no pain, no hunger, no vomiting, no ugliness, no worries”.
