A high-point of the show was an impromptu presentation by Dr. Daoke Yang on the advances of hyperthermia in China. Dr. Yang is the head of oncology for the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Dr. Yang presented clinical data to support the benefits of hyperthermia as an adjunct to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. And explained in great detail, the triggered immune response when the heat is applied to tumor cells.
First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University is the largest hospital in the world. With over 10,000 beds (after the hospital's latest expansion opening Q1 2017), the hospital is not only the largest in the world but nearly three times larger than the world’s second-largest hospital in Belgrade, Serbia.
A special thanks to Mrs. Wang, president of Orientech Dalian, for orchestrating the visit. We are expecting to place several Pyrexar Hyperthermia systems in Zhengzhou early next year.
