Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this case study was to investigate the effects of Jowiseungcheong-tang on edema after chemotherapy for advanced rectal cancer with lung metastasis in a 51-year-old female patient. Methods A 51-year-old Korean female patient diagnosed with advanced rectal cancer with lung metastasis was treated with Jowiseungcheong-tang. The treatment was executed two times everyday from March 13th to September 8th of 2021 except for the chemotherapy period. Clinical improvement was evaluated with Numeric Rating Scale. Results After the treatment, the patient showed improvement in Numeric Rating Scale and she no longer complained of edema after the chemotherapy. Conclusion The results suggest the Jowiseungcheong-tang may be an effective additional treatment for edema after chemotherapy in a patient with advanced rectal cancer with lung metastasis.
