Once cancer makes blood vessel, it grows quickly about 16,000 times faster than before. Therefore, suppression the angiogenesis is very relevant with cancer growth and metastasis.         ☯ Cancer recurrent metastasis & Decrease in immune function   Immunity is relevant with cancer recurrence and metastasis. Especially, functions of macrophagocyte, natural killer cell, T lymphocyte and dendritic cell are deeply important. Thus, increase in immune function helps to remove or suppress the hidden cancer cell after surgery and prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis. In addition, it helps patients receive anti-cancer or radiation therapy at the end and reduce side effects of anti-cancer treatment.                                         ☯ Effectiveness of HangAm Plus   Basilar membrane of blood vessel is the first step to pass through when cancer cell metastasizes.

[ Date : 2013-12-13, Hit : 6,332 ]
 
< Dunsan Korean Medicine Hospital of Daejeon University>   http://en.djuds.or.kr                                           ☯ What is Cancer Dormancy Therapy?   Cancer Dormancy Therapy is a method that prolongs the cancer dormancy, so suppressed the recurrent metastasis. In other words, it is Korean medical cancer treatment to make chronic diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes cannot worsen and maintain dormancy.         ☯ Cancer treatment and recurrent metastasis   Generally, it’s the norm that getting surgery and anti-cancer or radiation therapy when patient detects cancer, usually below operable tertiary solid cancer. After that, if cancer does not appear through CT or PET-CT etc, patient gets regular tracking observation. In this case, cancer cell is so small that it become invisible through imaging test and over time, it grows, spreads and recurs. Therefore, it is quiet important not to grow remaining cancer cell after treatment.         ☯ Goal of Cancer Dormancy Therapy       Cancer Dormancy Therapy puts goal in suppression the cancer cell to grow and metastasize as shown above. If cancer continues to reproduce and to be a certain size, patient dies. By paraphrasing, if cancer can be suppressed to grow, patient will not die. This is contrary to cancer removal or cancer reduction. That is, making cancer sleep is the basic goal of Cancer Dormancy Therapy.         ☯ Methods of Cancer Dormancy Therapy   Cancer Dormancy Therapy practiced at East West Cancer Center of Dunsan Korean Medicine Hospital can be roughly categorized into three types.   1. Suppression cancer angiogenesis   Basically, for cancer to grow, it is essential to be given nutrition just like other parts of the body. Cancer make blood vessel by itself to receive nourishment from the body. Therefore, if new cancer angiogenesis can be suppressed, cancer is hard to grow anymore. HangAm Plus is a Korean herbal medicine developed by East West Cancer Center of Dunsan Korean Medicine Hospital, and it is already shown that it is effective for suppression of cancer angiogenesis.   2. Improvement immunity   Immunity has a significant effect on the cancer growth. If the immunity is strong, cancer cannot grow. Patients, who have low level of immunity due to anti-cancer or radiation therapy, often suffer from cancer recurrent metastasis. At East West Cancer Center of Dunsan Korean Medicine Hospital, we apply several therapies such as acupuncture, herbal acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine to increase patients’ immune function.   3. Directive cancer treatment   In cancer treatment, it is important not only to improve the body’s condition but also to suppress the propagation of cancer cells. At Ease West Cancer Center, the goal is a directive cancer treatment using multipath targeted therapy for cancer medicines. The representative medicines are “CheonRyongChungChoJung” (for lung cancer), “BackJilChungGanJung” (for liver cancer), “NoBongGiBiJung” (for cancer of the stomach). There are also anti cancer herbal acupunctures No.1, 2, 3.         ☯ Effects of Cancer Dormancy Therapy   Treatment comparisons of VEGF, BFGF of cancer patients at East West Cancer Center have found that Cancer Dormancy Therapy is effective for decrease in figure. (Journal of Korean Oriental Internal Medicine in 2005)   Effectiveness of Cancer Dormancy Therapy is as follows;    ° Prevention of cancer recurrent metastasis    ° Suppression the cancer having a tolerance to anti-cancer drugs to grow    ° Increase in anticancer efficacy with anti-cancer and radiation therapy    ° Suppression the cancer to develop through Korean anti-cancer treatment (If patient cannot receive the anti-cancer      and radiation therapy because of low level of physical strength.)    ° Extend cancer patients’ living period

Multipath Targeted Therapy for Cancer
[ Date : 2013-12-10, Hit : 3,626 ]
 
  < Dunsan Korean Medicine Hospital of Daejeon University>   http://en.djuds.or.kr                                                                               ☯ What is targeted therapy?   Recently, anti-cancer drugs have become targeted therapy. Targeted therapy falls into two primary types, which are oral anti-cancer medicine and injections.   1. Oral anti-cancer medicine     - Chemical substances that block off signal transmission process that is activated in the cancer cell     - Chronic myelogenous leukemia, Leukemia, Gastrointestinal base tumor: Gleevec (imatinib)     - Lung cancer: Iressa(gefitinib), Tarceva(erlotinib)     - Breast cancer: Tykerb(lapatinib)   2. Injections     - Antibody protein that combines with target on the surface of the cancer cell     - Colorectal cancer: Erbitux(cetuximab)     - Breast cancer: Herceptin(Trastuzumab)   Target is used for cancer treatment. Target is also in vascular endothelial cell around cancer or in blood. Avastin (bevacizumab) blocks off the endothelial growth factors in blood and disturbs the angiogenesis, so treats the cancer. In addition, we are all working on developing apoptosis inducing agent that induces cancer cell death and cell cycle inhibitor that cuts off cell division cycle. Also, new multipath targeted therapy for cancer that blocks off the various routes has been developed. For instance, Nexavar(sorafenib) blocks the primary routes for cancer and suppresses the angiogenesis.           ☯ What is ‘Korean Medical multipath targeted therapy for cancer’?   Most Korean medicine anti-cancer drugs fall under   - HangAmPlus     : Main components are Cordyceps militaris and panax notoginseng.     : Suppression the metastasis and recurrence of cancer by blocking off the fibroblast growth factor (FGF)     : Induction of cell death     : Suppression of lung cancer and solid cancer   - MyeonYeokPlus     : Main components are Hericium erinaceum and milk vetch root.     : Suppression of tumor growth by activating dendritic cell, macrophagocyte and natural killer cell.   - Bee-venom acupuncture for removing allergen     : Anti-cancer herbal acupuncture     : Suppression of malignant melanoma, lung cancer, breast cancer etc by inducing cell death.   - HwaChanSu     : Cell division cycle inhibitor that shut off the division cycle of pancreatic cancer, liver cancer and so on.     : Joint research between MD Anderson in USA and Fudan University in China.     : Anti-cancer injections from toad skin.   Multipath targeted therapy for cancer is injected into the body through a number of path and works as multipath targeted anti cancer medicine.         ☯ Advantages of Korean Medical multipath targeted therapy for cancer    Minimization of side effect & potent anticancer efficacy   - HangAmPlus     : Similar level of survival rate compared to the existing anticancer drugs about non-small-cell lung cancer   - HwaChanSu     : Survival rate of pancreatic cancer and liver cancer if patients take HwaChanSu in conjunction with       other anti cancer medicines.   On the contrast, results on toxicity response show that there is only a slight side effect. Therefore, Korean medical multipath anti-cancer therapy is expected to be widely used.   East West Cancer Center at Dunsan Korean Medicine Hospital offer various therapies that attack the cancer directly, improve immunity, extend living period and improve the quality of life.         ☯ ‘Korean Medical multipath targeted therapy for cancer’ Program   ° Target     1.
