This report presents a case that shows a significant anticancer effect of Korean medicine therapy (KMT). A 79-year-old man, who was diagnosed as stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in December 2012, was treated with KMT including intravenous pharmacopunctures and oral herbal medicine from February 22, 2013, until September 2013 without any surgical intervention, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The intravenous pharmacopunctures were the wild ginseng pharmacopuncture, Cordyceps sinensis pharmacopuncture and Trichosanthes kirilowii pharmacopuncture. The oral herbal medicine used was soramdan, made of cultivated wild ginseng. The effectiveness of this therapy was evaluated with computed tomography and the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scale. The size of the tumor mass was markedly decreased and the ECOG performance scale was also improved. These results suggest that KMT alone can be an effective method to treat NSCLC.
本报告介绍了一个显示韩医学疗法（KMT）具有显著抗癌效果的病例。一名79岁男性，于2012年12月被诊断为IV期非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC），从2013年2月22日至2013年9月接受了包括静脉药物穴位注射和口服草药的韩医学疗法治疗，未进行任何手术干预、化疗或放疗。静脉药物穴位注射包括野生人参穴位注射、冬虫夏草穴位注射和瓜蒌穴位注射。使用的口服草药是由人工种植的野生人参制成的索兰丹。通过计算机断层扫描和东部肿瘤协作组（ECOG）体能状态评分来评估该疗法的有效性。肿瘤块大小明显减小，ECOG体能状态评分也得到改善。这些结果表明，单独使用韩医学疗法可能是治疗非小细胞肺癌的有效方法。
