This study is aimed to investigate the effects of intravenous Cultivated Wild Ginseng Pharmacopuncture(CWGP) and the FOLFIRI chemotherapy combination on recurred and metastatic ascending colon cancer patient. A 42-years-old man was diagnosed as ascending colon adenocarcinoma on 9th Mar. 2011. After performing right hemicolectomy and 12 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy recurrence at hemicolectomy site and metastases in liver, spleen and lungs were found on 7th Feb. 2012. Intravenous CWGP were performed during total 12 cycles of FOLFIRI chemotherapy from 3rd Mar. 2012 to 27th Sep. 2012. The effects and toxicities of CWGP and FOLFIRI chemotherapy combination were evaluated with PET torso(AA) and National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria. The tumor mass in the splenic hilum and liver S4 was disappeared and multiple pulmonic lymph nodules were decreased in size. The recurred lesion on the site of right hemicolectomy showed no changes. During the treatment the patient had no toxicity over grade 1.
