In recent years, Zhou Qing led the team to achieve innovative research results in precise targeted therapy of lung cancer and immunotherapy models, and the research results were published in top international oncology journals such as The Lancet-Oncology and Cancer Cell.
With the joint efforts of colleagues in the field of lung cancer prevention and treatment all over the world, "making lung cancer a chronic disease" has gradually become a reality from a dream.

Of course, we still want to do better, and hope to achieve this goal better, so that (lung cancer patients) can live a long-term life like hypertension and diabetes, and when you hear about these tumors in the future, it will no longer be like it is now Such panic can be faced calmly like chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
[Explanation] The "Outline of the Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" points out that it is necessary to shape a healthy bay area and promote close cooperation of high-quality medical and health resources.
Over the years, with the expansion and implementation of the "Hong Kong-Macau Medicine and Device Link", and the relaxation of Chinese patent medicines for external use in Hong Kong and Macao to meet the needs of medication... Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau cross-border medical cooperation is accelerating.

Since I first entered the lung cancer industry 20 years ago, (Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital) has had long-term cooperation with many experts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It is not until now that everyone raises the issue of cooperation, but There have been many years of cooperation, so these are already very inertial and continue to move forward.
Then, on this basis, many new projects and new talents have emerged, and the country is also promoting some new cooperation projects. These include that we also apply for some national projects with some experts in Hong Kong every year. big items.
[Explanation] The medical systems in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao are different. Breaking down institutional barriers is an important part of promoting the construction of a "healthy bay area".
In Zhou Qing's view, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have their own medical training systems, and are currently speeding up mutual recognition of qualifications.

In the later stage, that is to say, from the perspective of our follow-up common development, for example, we do some joint development of new drugs and solve some major clinical problems. Now we actually have a lot of projects, and the country also encourages cooperation with Hong Kong. Macao also cooperates with some overseas institutions. I think we in Guangdong are actually doing it very quickly.
[Explanation] It has been more than a year since the policy of "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Device Link" has been implemented.
Recently, the list of medical institutions of "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Devices" has been expanded, and the number of designated medical institutions has increased to 19.
This move will speed up the docking of medical standards across the Greater Bay Area and realize the common development of the medical industry in the Greater Bay Area.

For example, regarding the new drug policy, we are moving very fast, and some new drugs are basically available first in relatively advanced places such as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
If we talk about other development directions in the future, it means that we should give full play to our advantages, and we should make our advantages more flexible in terms of policies, so that there are some, for example, only in foreign countries, but we have Not yet, we may have more and better channels of this kind or newer policies of this kind, which can allow patients to have access to this earlier, so that we can play the role of this frontier in Guangdong.
