(i) A patient with metastatic, chemotherapy-resistant, very advanced esophageal cancer and a survival |
prognosis of 4 months was treated with mistletoe infusions twice per week for 5 years and had a complete |
tumor remission. The patient survived for more than 20 years up to the interview. (General practitioner, oncologist) |
(ii) The residual tumor after the fourth surgical resections of recurrent breast cancer disappeared under |
treatment with mistletoe infusions alone. Since then the patient lived about 9 years. (General practitioner) |
(iii) A patient with a cancer of unknown primary, a rapidly growing squamous cell carcinoma, peritoneal |
carcinosis and a very poor prognosis received weekly mistletoe infusions (Helixor A, 100–500 mg). He had |
a stable condition for 1,5 years, and the CT scan showed regression of some of the tumors. The tumors |
progressed again thereafter, and the infusions were switched to another host tree (Helixor M). The |
situation stabilized again, with further partial regressions in the CT scan, and remained as such at the time |
of the interview (about 9 months later). (Oncologist) |
(iv) A patient with fungating locally recurrent breast cancer received MEs as peritumoral injections and |
intravenous infusions. The tumor regressed repeatedly for at least 2 years. (Internist) |
(v) A patient with stomach cancer (removed by gastrectomy), liver and lymph node metastases and a |
depressed mood refused all standard oncological treatments. Her survival prognosis was 9 months. Her |
condition improved under mistletoe infusions alone (Abnoba Viscum Qu). She gained weight, vitality and |
enjoyment of life, and her depressive symptoms subsided. After some months, the liver metastases |
progressed, but now the patient agreed to chemotherapy (capecitabin oxaliplatin), which induced a |
partial remission. Mistletoe infusions were continued weekly, and the patient remained in a stable |
condition for 8 years. At the time of the interview, she had consulted the physician following a seizure, |
when a brain tumor or metastasis were suspected. (Oncologist) Another patient with colon cancer was |
treated with the same intravenous MT by the same physician, but similar good results could not be replicated. (Oncologist) |
(vi) In a patient with leukemia mistletoe (Helixor) infusions had no remarkable influence on controlling |
lymphocytosis. However, previously frequent infections (lung) became less frequent and healed more |
easily and extensive fatigue vanished. (Oncologist) |
