Abstract

Objective : The aim is to derive further studies evaluating the effectiveness of oriental medical treatment on advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients. We present a case of a stage IV AGC patient who has survived over 8 years. Methods : We followed up all documents related to the patient. We prescribed to the patient HangAmDan (HAD) three times a day over five years. Abdomen CT was performed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy. Results : The patient has survived over 8 years. Abdomen CT has shown complete regression. Conclusion : This case may give us the possibility of that oriental medical treatment offers potential benefits for patients with AGC.
