A Case Report on the Therapeutic Effect of Integrated Cancer Therapy for Glioblastoma Multiforme

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this report is to present the effects of integrative cancer treatment (ICT) on a patient diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).Methods: A 71-year-old male GBM patient received ICT from May 14 to October 12, 2021 and concurrently received temozolomide and radiotherapy. The effect on symptoms was evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS), and changes in tumor size were assessed using magnetic resonance imaging.Results: After treatment, the VAS score for nausea decreased from 5 to 1, and the tumor size also reduced.Conclusion: ICT could be effective in treating GBM patients by reducing the size of the tumor as well as alleviating the side effects.
