Abstract
Objective : The purpose of this study is to report and observe effects of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) on stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient. Method : A right breast cancer patient diagnosed with metastatic lesions on liver, lung, spleen, multiple bones and skin on right breast April 2013. The patient received Herceptin + Docetaxel + Zometa from May 2013 and started to receive TKM since July 2013 to decrease side effects of chemotherapy. From December 2013 to November 2014, she had received Herceptin 18 times more. The clinical outcomes were measured by computed tomography, laboratory findings including tumor markers (CEA, CA15-3), liver function test (AST, ALT), and numeric rating scales (NRS). Results : After 6 years of TKM treatment combined with standard chemotherapy, tumor size was partially decreased in lung, liver, right pleura and spleen. Levels of tumor markers also showed decrease. There were no severe adverse events induced by TKM based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.0. Conclusion : This case suggests that TKM combined with standard chemotherapy could be a promising method for treating metastatic stage IV breast cancer.
