Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common malignant tumor in post-menopausal women, and the lung is one of the organs to
which endometrial adenocarcinoma metastasizes. Chemotherapy is helpful for various malignancies, but not all are successful. A
71-year-old-Japanese-woman was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer stage IV of primary endometrial adenocarcinoma. She
received chemotherapy and hormone therapy after a total hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. Subsequently, she visited
this clinic for a second opinion as the metastatic lung cancer had repeated remissions and recurrences. Here, the authors report
a case in which complete remission of metastatic lung cancer was achieved by using a product containing low molecular weight
fucoidan extract (LMF) and Canavalia gladiata extract (CG) (LMF-CG) in combination with Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA)
hormone therapy.
