Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This review aimed to present the characteristics of hepatocellular cancer patients treated by Korean medicine.
Methods: Sixty hepatocellular cancer patients in a Korean medicine hospital from July 2012 to December 2019 were studied. We evaluated the general characteristics, overall therapies, and chief complaints of the patients.
Results: Of the patients, 55% were stage Ⅳ, and Korean medicine was accompanied by conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy, operation, and transarterial chemoembolization. An average number of hepatocellular cancer patients had admitted to the hospital. The patients' chief complaints were dyspnea, general weakness, abdominal discomfort, and cancer-related pain.
Conclusions: This study illustrates the general characteristics of hepatocellular cancer patients on Korean medicine treatments. These findings suggest that further investigations with a rigorous study design and more participants are needed.
