Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers reported on a single patient with advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who received a combination of metabolically supported chemotherapy, hyperthermia, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and repurposed drugs.

What They Found

A 49-year-old female with Stage IV HR-positive breast cancer showed symptomatic improvement and functional recovery shortly after starting the multimodal treatment. Follow-up PET-CT scans revealed reduced tumour burden at 3 months and a near complete response with resolution of active bone metastases at 6 months. The patient remained in sustained remission on a maintenance schedule.

Canadian Relevance
