Abstract
Objectives: Most of the time after chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, the immune system is getting even worse with reduction of whole blood cell. The purpose of this study is to report the effect of korean medical treatment on Sequela including pancytopenia after chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer after hysterectomy. Methods: The patient having treated with hospital management from June 8th in 2017 until July 5th in 2017, participated. Her chief complaints were fatigue, tinnitus, dizziness, decreased appetite due to glossodynia and constipation. We diagnosed her as pancytopenia based on her whole blood test result. We treated the patient with acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping and moxibustion. The efficacy of treatment was evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and blood test. Results: During hospitalization period, the symptoms including fatigue, tinnitus, dizziness, decreased appetite, constipation and pancytopenia were reduced. After discharging, we identified that her blood levels are maintained and ovarian cancer no longer recurred. Conclusions: To recover from Sequela including pancytopenia following chemotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer after hysterectomy, Korean medical treatment is considered to be effective.
