Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : The aim of this case report is to drive further studies evaluating the effectiveness of Korean oriental medicine on extranodal marginal zone B cells of MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) type lymphoma.
Methods : This case report is about a patient who was diagnosed with extranodal marginal zone B cell of MALT type lymphoma, who refused chemotherapy and preferred to be treated with Korean oriental medicine. Neck, chest abdomen & pelvis with enhanced computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) were performed to evaluate the anticancer effect of Hangam-dan (HAD).
Results : The patient diagnosed with MALT showed partial response after receiving 17 months of Korean oriental medical treatment. Neck, chest, abdomen & pelvic CT and PET-CT show decrease in size.
Conclusion : This case report shows a possibility that Korean oriental treatment could offer potential benefits for patients with extranodal marginal zone B cell of MALT type lymphoma
