Abstract

|
|
Objective: The purpose of this study was to report the clinical effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment on FOLFOX-induced symptoms such as nausea and dizziness in a patient with recurrent advanced gastric adenocarcinoma.
Methods: The patient was diagnosed with recurrent advanced gastric cancer and had FOLFOX-induced nausea and dizziness. The patient was treated with Samchulgunbi-tang and Banhasashim-tang for symptom management. The clinical outcomes were measured by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (NCI CTCAE) and a numeral rating scale (NRS).
Results: After treatment, the patient's nausea and dizziness were relieved from NRS 9 to 2 and NRS 8 to 2 respectively. During and after treatment, no severe toxicities were detected on laboratory findings.
Conclusion: This case study suggests that Samchulgunbi-tang and Banhasashim-tang may relieve symptoms of FOLFOX-induced nausea and dizziness.
