Abstract EN
Urinary bladder cancer (UBC) is one of the most common cancers, with 1 out of every 26 men and 1 out of every 80 women worldwide developing the disease during their lifetime.
Moreover, it is a disease that predominantly affects the elderly and is becoming a major health problem as the elderly population continues to rapidly increase.
In spite of the rapid development of medical science, the 5-year survival rate has remained around 75% since the 1990s, and the FDA has approved no new drugs for UBC over the last 10 years.
In addition, most patients experience frequent recurrence and poor quality of life after diagnosis.
Therefore, in order to solve unmet needs by alternative methods, we present our clinical cases of UBC where we observed outstanding results including regression and recurrence prevention exclusively through Traditional Korean Medicine such as (1) herbal therapy, (2) acupuncture, (3) pharmacopuncture and needle-embedding therapy, (4) moxibustion, and (5) cupping therapy.
From our experience, it appears that multimodal strategies for synergistic efficiency are more effective than single Korean Medicine treatment.
We hope this will encourage investigation of the efficacy of Korean Medicine treatment in clinical trials for UBC patients.
