Abstract
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.
