Abstract
There has been a gradual increase in recent years in the number of progress reports on the use of integrated medicine for cancer treatment over long periods of time. This paper reports on the further progress of 5 cases that I had reported in 2004 at the ISLIS meeting held in South Korea. Also included are new case reports of a 73-year-old male patient with prostate cancer, a 79-year-old male with liver cancer, a 76-year-old female with metastatic pancreatic cancer after resection of gastric cancer and a 55-year-old female with Stage IV A thyroid cancer all of whom received alternative therapy for at least 5 years. Additionally the case is described for a 58-year-old female with Stage IIA breast cancer whose anti-p53 antibody level, an indicator of apoptosis, showed a significant decrease in less than 5 years of alternative therapy. Although 4 of these 10 patients have died, their cases are reported here so that others can learn from the course of their disease progression. Finally, the current practices adopted in Nishimoto Clinic are reported; these have been applied in an integrated medicine approach to cancer treatment for more than 10 years.
