Abstract
Objective: This long-term case report details a case of pancreatic cancer with lung metastasis suppressed by integrative cancer medicine (IMT).Methods: A 64-year-old woman diagnosed with pancreatic cancer visited a Korean medicine hospital complaining about the side effects of chemotherapy for lung metastasis. She received IMT involving Korean traditional medicine and Western immunotherapy from May 2017 to June 2023. Tumor dimensions were assessed through computed tomography (CT) and positron-emission tomography/CT scans, while tumor markers and safety were monitored by laboratory tests.Results: IMT suppressed the progression of cancer, as observed by imaging and laboratory tests. The patient achieved 5-year survival, even after discontinuing chemotherapy.Conclusion: This case presents a potential therapeutic alternative for patients who are ineligible for chemotherapy or surgical interventions.
