Background

Mr. Chai is a 76 year old gentleman from China, who was admitted into Beijing Tiantan Puhua International Hospital in April 2009, due to liver metastasis post a rectal cancer operation. Mr. Chai was diagnosed with “Rectal cancer” on 22th September 2008. He then underwent a surgery for removing his cancer in a local hospital. Pathological postoperative revealed as adenocarcinoma. He received four courses of chemotherapy in total from November 2008 to February 2009, with oxalinplatin (JM-216), 5-FU, and calcium folinate. Reviewed type B ultrasound of abdomen and CT scan revealed that there was low density shadow in the liver, considered as metastasis. Mr. Chai decided to have a try of stem cell treatment with TCM therapy for a further treatment.

Medical condition pre-stem cell treatment

Prior to stem cell treatment, Mr. Chai felt uncomfortable on his liver region. He always felt a slight vague pain in his liver region. His mental spirit was ok, as well as his diet and sleeping. His urination and defecation were both normal. When examined, his abdomen was flat. No significant abnormal signs could be noted.

Treatment

Seven courses of combined therapy with stem cell transplantation and TCM therapy

Medical condition pre-stem cell treatment

After three courses of combined therapy that based on stem cell treatment, the uncomfortable feeling of liver region improved significantly. He might sometimes felt a slight vague pain in his liver region. His mental spirit, diet, and sleeping quality were good. Repeat CT scan of abdomen revealed that edema was noted with the environment of metastasis region in the liver. Colliquation and necrosis was noted locally, which implied that the lesion was under control.

He then continued the prior treatment for four more courses. His symptoms disappeared completely. He hasn’t complained of uncomfortable feeling in his liver region again. There is no vague pain in his liver region now. Repeat CT scan of abdomen demonstrated that metastasis was much smaller than before. He is still continuing with stem cell treatment for consolidating and maintenance therapy. His condition is stable and everything is continuing to go well.
