Embryonal Carcinoma with Immature Teratoma: A Homeopathic Case Report

Abstract

Background: Embryonal carcinoma with immature teratoma is a cancer with poor prognosis if the expression levels of biological markers are very high. In such a case, after surgical removal of the tumor, homeopathic treatment resulted in maintenance of the cancer-free state for over 6 years. Case Report: This is the case of a 3-year-old Indian girl diagnosed with embryonal carcinoma with immature teratoma (after surgery), treated and followed up for over 6 years. She was treated on the basis of the principles of classical homeopathy and has stayed free of cancer for 6 years now. Discussion: The cancer marker expression levels dropped while the girl developed severe skin eruptions, which is in accordance with the laws of classical homeopathic treatment. Although other examples of successful homeopathic treatment in severe pathologies exist, further confirmatory studies are needed on a large scale.
