|
Objectives: This paper aims to report the effects of Korean medical treatment
on a patient who underwent abdominal surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal
chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.
Methods: An ovarian cancer patient underwent abdominal surgery and got
Korean medical treatment during 7-day hospitalization. About 2 years later, with
metastasis to the lymph nodes detected, she had abdominal surgery with hyperthermic
intraperitoneal chemotherapy and got Korean medical treatment during 10-day
hospitalization. The treatment included herbal medicine and acupuncture. Numerical
Rating Scale (NRS) of symptoms was measured every morning.
Results: After the treatment, sequela following surgery decreased, and general
conditions improved. During 1st and 2nd hospitalization, NRS of general weakness,
heartburn and dorsal chill significantly decreased (10 to 5, 10 to 5 and 10 to 2,
respectively) while edema in both legs remained the same.
Conclusions: This case shows that Korean medical treatment is effective for a
patient who underwent abdominal surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy
for ovarian cancer.
