From Halsted classical radical operation in the late 19th century to expanding radical operation in 1950s and to improved radical operation in 1960s,then breast conservation surgery in 1980s until now, breast surgery has about 109 years history.

Ms. Wang was so excited to share her anti cancer story with the audience. She said that breast cancer can be prevented and treated; it is not that horrible as you thought. Women should pay close attention to their health and learn the way of self-inspection so as to detect the disease early and take prompt treatment. Soybean source girl Jing Wen also shared her three dreams with the audience --Her first dream was that the steel plate in his father’s leg could be taken out, second dream was her mother could have a quick recovery and the third dream was hoping to have a chance to sing again.

Now that Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou has taken over the relay baton of love to have full breast checkup for Jingwen’s mother and confirmed the cancer is now under control.
