Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver neoplasm in dogs and can be treated by the Viscum album therapy in a curative or palliative way. The objective is to report a hepatocellular carcinoma case in a dog treated by homeopathic therapy, extending to Palliative Care, with a 24-month survival. A 12-year-old Schnauzer male with a history of a liver nodule was treated by intravenous and subcutaneous applications of V. album in different dynamization and combinations, chromotherapy, and oral homeopathic medicines. The tumor growth was controlled, and the health condition of the patient was stable while the medication was given as prescribed. However, as application frequency was reduced, tumor growth increased, and health deterioration was verified. Nevertheless and contrary to expectations, the patient had a 24-month survival. Therefore, these findings point to the potential of V. album on enhancing the quality of life, controlling tumor growth, and prolonging survival on patients with HCC. Patients under continuous treatment would benefit better of these properties.
肝细胞癌患者在Viscum治疗下的长期生存-病例报告
肝细胞癌(HCC)是犬类中最常见的肝脏肿瘤,可通过粘片疗法进行治疗或姑息治疗。目的是报告一个肝细胞癌病例的狗治疗顺势疗法,延伸到姑息治疗,与24个月的生存。我们对一名患有肝结节病史的12岁雄性雪纳瑞犬进行静脉注射和皮下注射V. album不同的动力和组合、显色疗法和口服顺势疗法药物的治疗。肿瘤生长得到控制,患者健康状况稳定,并按规定服药。然而,随着应用频率的减少,肿瘤生长增加,健康恶化得到证实。然而,与预期相反,患者存活了24个月。因此,这些发现表明了V. album在提高HCC患者生活质量、控制肿瘤生长和延长生存期方面的潜力。持续治疗的患者将更好地受益于这些特性。
