Title: Integrative Cancer Therapy Care (1)


1
Integrative Cancer Therapy Care
2
Integrative Medicine
  • A total approach to medical care combining
    standard medicine with complementary and
    alternative practices that have been shown to be
    safe and effective. They treat the patient's
    mind, body, and spirit.

3
Qualified Doctors
  • Our qualified team of physicians treat cancer
    very differently from how "conventional" cancer
    therapy is administered especially when the odds
    support a far more favorable long-term survival
    rate for the patient.

4
Integral Medicine
  • Complementary, alternative and where indicated
    conventional standard practice is used for
    medical treatments. One example is using a
    special diet to treat cancer instead of
    anticancer drugs that are prescribed by an
    oncologist.

5
What is Metastatic Liver Cancer?
  • Liver metastasis occurs when cancerous tumor
    cells spread to the liver from another part of
    the body.

6
  • These tumor cells often appear shortly after the
    primary tumor develops, or months or years later.
    Most liver metastases start as cancers in colon
    or rectum.

7
  • Nearly 70 of patients with colorectal cancer
    develop liver metastases. This happens in part
    because blood from intestines is connected
    directly to liver through the portal vein.

8
  • Although much less common, liver metastases can
    start from breast, esophagus, stomach, pancreas,
    lung, kidney or skin cancer.

9
  • The progression of metastatic liver is quite
    severe and abrupt, so treatment must commence as
    soon as possible after first diagnosed, based on
    the following symptoms.

10
  • Jaundice

Enlarged liver will block flow of bile, causing
seepage into bloodstream, resulting in dark
urine, pale stools and itchy skin.
11
  • Delirium

It affects sleep patterns, with difficulty
concentrating, with possible amnesia leading to
possible coma.
12
  • Severe Abdominal Pain

Tumor cells begin to expand throughout
surrounding area destroying healthy tissue. This
leads to massive organ damage. Patient will have
a very swollen abdomen, with incredibly hardened
and enlarged liver resulting in severe pain.
Select pain killer is usually prescribed.
13
  • Ascites

Fluid will begin to build inside the abdomen
area. Ascites is excess fluid with floating
cancer cells with current standard of care
requiring draining fluid through the abdomen wall.
14
Systemic Organ Malfunctions
  • Kidney begins to fail, causing weight gain,
    swelling and less urine output.
  • Lungs fail, making it more complicated and
    difficult to breath. Lungs begin to fill with
    fluid.
  • Confusion from the toxicity affects the brain,
    causing mood swings, altered decision-making,
    drowsiness, sluggish speech.
  • Overall, liver failure causes nausea, vomiting,
    fatigue, loss of appetite, and easy bleeding.
