초록
Objective: The purpose of this study was to report a case of a stage III endometrial cancer patient whose symptoms, including abnormal uterine bleeding, improved after Korean medicine treatment. Methods: A 85-year-old Korean female patient with a known diagnosis of endometrial serous carcinoma was admitted to a Korean medicine hospital for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding and anorexia, fatigue, and subjective weakness of the lower extremities. Based on Korean medicine pattern differentiation, she was treated with Korean medicine therapies including herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping. Results: After 30 days of treatment, the patient’s estimated daily bleeding improved from 10.5 milliliters per day to 2 milliliters per day. Her Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score improved from 3 to 2. Imaging showed no definite evidence of cancer progression or metastasis. Conclusion: Korean medicine treatment, including herbal medicine and nonmedical treatments, may be effective for supportive treatment of cancer-related bleeding and for improving general performance in elderly endometrial cancer patients. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
