Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to report two cases which suggest Oryeongsan as a pharmacological treatement option for cancer-induced secondary lymphedema. Methods : The cases were two female patients with peripheral edema. The first was diagnosed with cervical cancer with paraaortic lymph node metastasis and suffered from bilateral edema of the lower extremities. The second was a breast cancer patient with right arm lymphedema, which was aggravated after a weekly regimen of chemotherapy. Oryeongsan was orally administered for 3-4 days to both patients. Results : The symptoms in lower extremities and body weight of the cervical cancer patient decreased. The breast cancer patient did not lose body weight, but pain in upper extremities was reduced. Conclusions : Oryeongsan may potentially be an option for secondary lymphedemas, including cancer-induced lymphedema.
