Oral tumor- complementary medicine ?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

Have any of you had success in treating malignant fibrous

histiocytoma with AP or TCM?

 

A colleague with no TCM background asks for expert comment.

See below.

 

Many thanks,

Phil

Hello Listers, I have a 6 year old male Labrador Retriever that I just

removed a malignant fibrous histiocytoma from his hard palate.

The mass was about 2 cm., and adjacent to P4, but with normal-

appearing tissue between the tumor and the tooth.

 

The path report said that the margins were not clear, but a CT scan

shows no bony involvement. The local lymph nodes have not been

examined yet. He has no clinical signs of a problem. I know that

hemimaxillectomy is the surest way to remove all of the tumor.

Radiation alone will buy us about a year.

 

I have heard that there have been some surprising success stories

with Chinese herbal medicine and treatment of inoperable

sarcomas. I would like to know if anyone has had any experience

using herbs in cancer therapy. Thanks from myself and " Moose. "
