Contact the hospital by your family in Shanghai
Natalia developed abdominal pain and weight loss, and tests revealed a duodenal malignancy involving the pancreas and compressing the inferior vena cava. Her son, who teaches in Shanghai, contacted Dr. Zhao Liangchao of the General Surgery Department of the Northern Campus of Ruijin Hospital in December 2025 to consult for further treatment.
Determine the possibility of surgery first
The imaging showed that the tumor was about nine centimeters, and the team determined whether there was an opportunity for surgery based on the involvement of important blood vessels. The patient then traveled to China, a journey of about thirty hours. Cross-border surgeries require that the condition be as clear as possible before arrival and that further assessment be completed upon arrival.
Language communication and complex surgery
The patient did not speak Chinese or English, but was able to speak French. The team used French communication and translation assistance to communicate about the condition and surgical risks. After completing the evaluation, doctors perform a pancreaticoduodenectomy to deal with complex lesions involving multiple organs and reconstruction links.
Postoperative recovery and follow-up treatment
Reports recorded that the patient recovered after surgery and his family members expressed their gratitude to the medical team. Tumor treatment and follow-up still need to be continued after surgery. The experience presents the interface between imaging evaluation, cross-language communication, complex surgical treatment and follow-up diagnosis and treatment.

由在上海的家人联系医院
娜塔莉亚出现腹痛和体重下降，检查提示十二指肠恶性肿瘤，累及胰腺并压迫下腔静脉。她在上海任教的儿子于 2025 年 12 月联系瑞金医院北部院区普外科赵良超医生，咨询进一步治疗。
先判断手术可能性
影像显示肿瘤约九厘米，团队结合重要血管受累情况判断是否具备手术机会。患者随后辗转来到中国，旅程约三十小时。跨境手术需要在抵达之前尽可能明确病情，并在到院后完成进一步评估。
语言沟通与复杂手术
患者不会中文或英文，但能够使用法语。团队通过法语交流及翻译辅助，沟通病情与手术风险。完成评估后，医生实施胰十二指肠切除术，处理涉及多个器官和重建环节的复杂病变。
术后恢复与后续治疗
报道记载，患者术后恢复，家属向医护团队表达感谢。手术后仍需继续肿瘤治疗与随访。该经历呈现了影像评估、跨语言沟通、复杂外科治疗和后续诊疗之间的衔接。
