نویسنده
چکیده
Background: Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung has poor prognosis and survival statistics. The aim of this study was to determine the possible clinical benefit of Soma and MSQ-11 nutritional supplements in a case of an inoperable squamous cell lung carcinoma. Method: The regime of nutritional products was administered as follows: Soma extract 1 ml BID for six weeks, MSQ-11 1 tbsp TID for one month followed by a maintenance dose of 1 tbsp QD for an additional month. The oral oxygenation agent Aerobic 07 ten drops BID for 4 months and 5 drops QD for another 2 months. Results: Clinical improvement and reduction of tumor mass, resolution of carcinomatous pleuritis, improved quality of life. Conclusion: Treatment with Soma, and MSQ-11 combination effectively resolved pleuritis carcinomatosa and led to partial tumor regression. Therefore, they may become an effective therapeutic modality for the management of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) unresponsive to conventional treatments. Oral oxygenation was effective in relieving the patient’s dyspnea and improved oxygenation may have contributed to the overall effects of Soma and MSQ-11.
