|
Objective: This study sought a clinical analysis of hepatobiliary cancer patients treated by oriental medical therapy.
Methods: 312 hepatobiliary cancer patients treated in East-west Cancer Center of Dunsan Oriental Hospital from October 2004 to September 2008 were reviewed. These patients’ general characteristics and clinical change after treatment were investigated.
Results: 83.3% of patients’ tumors were stage IV. The median survival period of stage IV patients was 107.082.2 (IVa), 207.026.8 (IVb) days (hepatocellular carcinoma), 132.015.8 days (cholangiocarcinoma), and 203.024.6 days (gallbladder carcinoma).
Conclusions: This study presents the general characteristics of hepatobiliary cancer patients treated by Oriental medical therapies, and thus would be valuable for further studies of Oriental medicine-based cancer treatments.
