Medical History before Admission:
73-year-old male patient, Mr. Guido Rico Agreda:
- Underwent right semi-colectomy in 2006 for moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the colon with positive lymph node involvement (+1/20), Dukes C.
- Completed adjuvant chemotherapy (12 cycles of 5-FU and LV civ48hs)
- Experienced progressive enlargement of peritoneal lymph nodes, necessitating excision in 20XX
- Undergone Radio-Frequency Ablation (RFA) for liver metastases
Treatment Details at Beijing Puhua International Hospital:
Radio-Frequency Ablation (RFA):
- Two procedures performed on September 15 and 29, 20XX respectively.
- Each procedure involved ablating two liver lesions using multi-electrode needles heated to 90°C for varying durations (10-15 minutes).
- Local injections of interleukin-2 (1,000,000 IU) and GM-CSF (150 µg) were administered post-procedure.
- Patient tolerated procedures well with no complications.
Systemic Chemotherapy:
- Capecitabine 825-1000mg/m² Bid, D1-14
Immunotherapy & Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):
- Cytokine-Induced Killer Cells (CIK cells) therapy administered twice during admission
- Acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapy to enhance energy, decrease toxicity, and improve general status
Medical Condition after Treatment:
Upon discharge, Mr. Agreda's physical condition showed continued improvement with no discomfort experienced throughout his treatment. Post-RFA treatments resulted in approximately 80% tumor load necrosis, which would gradually absorb over time. Optimal response evaluation via repeat CT or PET-CT scan recommended around one month post-treatment.
Post-Operative:
Mr. and Mrs. Agreda expressed high satisfaction with the cancer treatment and services provided at Beijing Puhua International Hospital. Mr. Agreda willingly shared his treatment experiences to benefit prospective patients.
