Why It Matters

北榮團隊在陳威明帶領下,長期投入骨癌治療、防疫及先進癌症治療技術研發,提升臺灣國際醫療能見度。

陳威明院長行醫30多年,完成超過3萬台骨科手術,長期握鑷施力,左手大拇指下的關節早已變形,突起一顆大大骨刺。問他怎麼不去處理,他漾起一抹滿足的笑容,輕輕摸著自己長骨刺的手,「那是我的光榮印記。」正是這雙手,幫助眾多骨癌病患重獲新生。

讓臺灣醫療實力閃耀世界,北榮院長陳威明(右)獲頒工研院第15屆新科院士。(工研院提供)骨癌好發於青少年,過去許多孩子面臨截肢甚至失去生命的絕境,但北榮團隊不僅將存活率一路拉升超越7成,更以精湛的骨移植、重建方式,保住許多患者的肢體,這些孩子後來不但結婚生子,還帶油飯、紅蛋回來看他。陳威明笑稱,這也是對臺灣人口做出貢獻,彷彿自己兒女成群。

兒女成群的「陳爸爸」 心靈比任何人富有

陳威明曾收治一名年僅4歲、大腿長骨癌的病童,由於年紀太小、骨頭極細,沒有合適骨頭可以移植,陳威明大膽將骨庫中年輕女性捐贈的上臂骨,跨部位移植到孩子的大腿骨,讓病童再次站起來。沒想到移植後15個月,移植的腿骨卻不幸斷裂,陳威明聯手臺灣人工關節廠,親自畫圖設計極細的人工關節放入補強。時隔24年,當初面臨可能截肢的孩子,如今行動自如,已從醫學院畢業。

北榮骨癌專屬93病房的孩子,因為陳威明與團隊的努力,得以繼續在人生路上穩健行走,陳威明也被病童暱稱為「陳爸爸」。他指著辦公室抽屜裡,幾百封孩子們畫的感謝卡說:「這是我最大財富!把病人從鬼門關前拉回來,這個快樂用錢也買不到。」

謹慎專業 創新禁得起時間考驗

這種視病如親的態度,也讓他在醫療技術上,秉持「將心比心」的初衷,與「唯變不變」的創新哲學,在臨床醫療與國家防疫上做出巨大貢獻。

1997年,陳威明在全球第一的美國梅約醫學中心進修時,看到國外用昂貴的人造骨碎片,填充腫瘤刮除後留下的空洞,回國後便決心推動產學合作,將病人換下來的關節,或遺愛人間的遺骨,處理成平價而高品質的移植材料,價錢僅需美國的十分之一。

過去骨癌只能移植沉重的金屬人工關節或截肢,他也帶領團隊開發「生物性重建」技術,率先提出保留病人骨本,將切下的骨頭進行高劑量體外放射,殺死癌細胞後,再植回人體,「幫病人留住未來!」陳威明回想2000年,第一次在英國世界大會報告時,國外專家以為臺灣是負擔不起人工關節成本才研發此法,「認為我是怪物」,如今卻成為全球骨腫瘤治療的主流。

此外,針對各家人工關節因年深月久、零件難尋的痛點,陳威明更發明一套人工關節「百寶箱」,內含常用的數十種不同大小的球頭零件,讓病人不因髖臼杯鬆動或墊片磨損,而要整根關節敲掉重做。30多年來,陳威明至少研發數十種新的手術技術,所有發明一概不申請專利,全都無償公開。

看似大膽創新的背後,陳威明其實更像謹慎的守門人,他不斷強調創新必須謹守8字箴言︰「病人安全,長期療效」,他的許多手術追蹤長達2、30年,確保創新經得起時間檢驗。正因如此謹慎,他甚至保護北榮免於一場巨大的醫療災難。

十幾年前有廠商研發出「金屬頭對金屬蓋」的人工關節,他敏銳質疑,兩邊金屬不停摩擦,若釋出金屬離子,恐將傷害病人,因而決定暫不採用。果然,不到2年,這個人工關節便被發現造成病人骨頭溶解、心臟衰竭甚至死亡,全球下架,北榮是當時臺灣唯一沒有採用的醫學中心,成功守住病人健康。因此,陳威明提醒,「創新必須有所本,一定要有專業和判斷力。」

面對火熱的AI風潮,陳威明認為善用AI沒有錯,但絕不能過度仰賴、盲從,失去自己的創造力與思考力,「什麼都問AI,每個人得到相同答案,總有一天會走入死胡同。」

創新車來速檢疫 守護國人健康

2021年臺灣新冠疫情大爆發,全臺三級警戒,此前他便已嗅到醫院確診人數變多,便率領團隊默默在實驗室「練兵」,研發精準池化核酸檢驗(Pooling PCR),可在短時間內處理大量檢體,將北榮的檢驗量能從一天1,600人,大幅提升至8,000人。

當苗栗半導體廠爆發群聚感染,科技命脈危在旦夕時,他在35度烈日下穿著隔離衣,親自帶隊上第一線,「把檢驗當急診做!」他調派救護車密集往返運送檢體,2天內完成近5,000人採檢報告,讓產業迅速復工。北農三大果菜批發市場、敦睦艦隊等大規模檢測,也是陳威明率團隊在中正紀念堂駐點23天,設置創新的「車來速」檢疫站,總計採檢達2.6萬人。這項精準池化技術,大幅削減了民眾自費篩檢的成本,更展現極致效率,成了疫情間安定社會的巨大力量。

打造癌症先驅治療 讓世界看見臺灣

2023年,北榮正式啟用臺灣首座「重粒子癌症治療中心」,主攻「癌王」胰臟癌和攝護腺癌,不僅建置進度超前美國,連治療成果也優於先驅日本,在不少病人身上看到痊癒奇蹟。對此陳威明並不意外,「日本重粒子是單一機構,但北榮是醫院,我們結合免疫療法、標靶治療與達文西手術等團隊『打群架』,效果自是加成。」

陳威明坦言,重粒子設備1年營運成本近5億元,回收不易,但他堅持不調高自費價格,甚至保留2%的免費名額給弱勢患者,「人命無價,我認為很值得;我也不想這個機器變成有錢人的特權,這是我們的社會責任。」如今北榮也正著手建立癌症治療的先驅技術「硼中子捕獲治療中心」,預計2027年完工。

這些努力也讓世界看到臺灣的醫療實力。今年北榮在美國《新聞週刊》全球最佳醫院排名中躍升至174名,連續3年穩居全臺之首,吸引不少歐美、日本等先進國家前來取經,連梅約醫學中心都慕名而來,在北榮設立重粒子實驗室。

陳威明發明人工關節百寶箱,內含常用的數十種不同大小的球頭零件,解決人工關節因年深月久,零件難尋的痛點。(工研院提供)即使當了院長,公務更加繁忙,陳威明仍堅持每年親自開800台刀,「開刀是我最紓壓的時刻,而且手術中必須迅速做出決斷,也養成我在管理上的果斷決策。」因此,不論是繁重的院務行政,還是緊急的國家防疫,他都能精準找到問題,對症下藥。

這就是陳威明,一位有「骨」氣也有溫情的當代仁醫,他用精湛技術與前瞻創新,為冰冷醫療注入溫度。未來這雙略顯變形卻無比堅定的手,還將繼續書寫臺灣醫療的暖心傳奇。
