Patient Case Evidence Library

Before treatment

After diagnosis, the patient did not undergo other treatment and chose TCM care at our hospital. Initial symptoms included wheezing, coughing up blood, severe coughing with pain, abundant phlegm, poor appetite and poor sleep.

After treatment

After a little over two months of medication, overall symptoms improved markedly. The family reported that the patient's condition had improved. Follow-up materials described a smaller lung lesion, and the listed tumor markers were within their reference ranges.

Follow-up imaging

Right upper-lobe lesion: slightly smaller than on the previous scan.

Selected tumor markers

CEA 1.70 · CA125 8.07 · CYFRA21-1 2.12 · NSE 8.41. The translated family chat and source evidence panels remain visible in the complete poster.

Before treatment

After lung-cancer surgery, follow-up imaging showed multiple nodules in both lungs, some with calcification. The largest nodule near the right oblique fissure measured about 0.6 × 0.4 cm. Multiple enlarged mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes were noted; the largest measured about 1.8 × 1.2 cm. Symptoms included cough, sputum, nausea and dry mouth.

After treatment

After consolidative TCM care at our hospital, the patient reported less cough and sputum. A recent examination described a clear reduction in multiple solid nodules in both lungs, with a trend toward calcification. The previously enlarged mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes were no longer seen.

Source report comparison

30 May 2025: right oblique-fissure nodule about 0.6 × 0.4 cm; mediastinal/hilar lymph node about 1.8 × 1.2 cm. 27 June 2025: multiple solid nodules clearly smaller and trending toward calcification; previously enlarged mediastinal/hilar lymph nodes no longer seen.

Before treatment

In November 2024, multiple metastatic lesions were found in both cerebral hemispheres. After multidisciplinary consideration, the patient chose TCM care at our hospital. Initial symptoms included shortness of breath, weakness in the legs at night, constipation and poor appetite.

After 2 months

Follow-up MRI materials described fewer lesions in both cerebral hemispheres, with some areas becoming smaller. The patient reported improvement in shortness of breath, constipation and nighttime leg weakness, and appetite returned.

After 6 months

Follow-up MRI materials described a further reduction in the lesions and tumor burden.

Source MRI timeline

15 November 2024: multiple metastatic lesions in both cerebral hemispheres. 11 February 2025: fewer lesions, with some areas smaller. 10 June 2025: further reduction in lesions and tumor burden.
