Complete response of hepatocellular carcinoma treated with traditional Chinese medicine treatment: A case report
Journal Title: Traditional Medicine Research - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
We reported a detailed clinical course of complete response of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) treatment in the present study. In June 2011, a 47-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for multiple mass lesions in liver. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT revealed multiple low density nodules with heterogeneous enhancementin his right lobe of the liver and the largest nodule diameter was about 5 cm. The clinical diagnosis was hepatocellular carcinoma (diffuse-type). Resection was not performed considering the patient’s poor physical condition. He received THM therapy as an alternative. One months later, CT showed that the majority lesions of the right liver lobe shrank. In November 2014, CT showed that the liver lesions completely disappeared and had no evidence of tumor recurrence. Our case provides additional evidence to show that TCM treatment is effective for patients with HCC, and it can achieve complete remission, long disease-free survival and provide patients with good quality of life.
