Breast Cancer-------From Indonesia Cancer Patient


Ms. Divniahnina is from West Kalimatan of Indonesia,Ms.Lin, 42 years old, has had breast cancer 2 years ago. She was shy to speak it out and just had some herbal medicines by herself. She couldn’t do anything but cry silently in her room. Her elder sister, who has been doing business outside, found it out and brought her to hospital for operation and chemotherapy. Half a year later, tumor recurrence was found. The mass in breast enlarged day after day. She felt pain in back and could not walk in the end. Incontinence happened sometimes. Her elder sister got her a wheelchair and helped her with boarding on the plane. They transferred from Jakarta to Guangzhou. She was taken off by airport staff and then transferred to Guangzhou Cancer Hospital by ambulance.
Relevant checkups after being admitted showed that left breast was swollen and hard. A 6cm large mass was found in left breast. The muscle strength of both lower limbs was level 2. She couldn’t walk alone. X-ray and CT scan on the second day after admission found out multiple bone metastases in lumbar vertebra, compressed fracture, sclerotin pressing inward to spinal canal to compress spinal cord. Pathological result of biopsy on left breast mass suggested infiltrating ductal carcinoma. Swollen lymph nodes were seen in left axilla.

Expert team at FUDA performed cryoablation on left breast cancer and lymph nodes in left axilla. After two months, the paralysis of lower limbs miraculously relieved and she could walk gradually. Then, she was given I125 seeds implantation in thoracic vertebra metastases and cancer microvascular intervention. She boarded the plane by herself and went back home. 12 months later, she came back to FUDA for follow-up visit. Examination showed that left breast tumor decrease significantly in size. She was given combined immunotherapy.

Examination after 35 months showed that patient had a good general condition. PET-CT scan showed no tumor residue and recurrence in breast and axilla. Multiple bone destruction in thoracolumbar spine still presented with no increasing metabolism, which showed tumor activity was inhibited.
