BACKGROUND
Metastatic malignant cutaneous melanoma (MCM)-a highly immunogenic cancer-typically has a poor prognosis. Viscum album extracts (VAEs) have strong immune-stimulating, apoptogenic, and cytotoxic effects.
METHODS
A 66-year-old MCM patient with newly diagnosed lymph node metastases opted for
Findings from various epidemiological studies suggest that acute inflammation and fever may decrease the risk of developing certain types of cancer. In an established tumor situation acute inflammation and fever resulted in tumor regression in some cases, however, treatment was sometimes ineffective
BACKGROUND
Mistletoe is a complementary cancer treatment that is widely used, usually in addition to and alongside recommended conventional cancer therapy. However, little is known about its use, effectiveness, and safety in the treatment of cutaneous lymphoma.
METHODS
Two patients with primary
Objective. To conduct a scoping review to characterize how fever is viewed in anthroposophic medicine (AM) and discuss the scientific validity of these views. Methods. Systematic searches were run in Medline, Embase, CAMbase, and Google Scholar. Material from anthroposophic medical textbooks and
So-called spontaneous remissions in cancer often seem to occur after febrile events. Mistletoe preparations (MPs) are used off-label intravenously to induce fever within concepts of integrative oncology. We wanted to investigate the frequency of febrile reactions and safety related to intravenously
OBJECTIVE
Evaluate the safety and clinical response of complementary treatment with European mistletoe extracts during chemotherapy.
METHODS
Monocentric controlled trial with 95 patients randomized into three groups.
METHODS
National Cancer Research Center of Serbia.

Breast cancer patients
Metastatic pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis. Many patients seek integrative care as an add-on to their conventional cancer treatment. Viscum album extracts (VAE)-widely used as an adjunct to cancer treatment-have cytotoxic, apoptogenic, and immune stimulatory properties. A Standardized aqueous mistletoe extracts have been applied to cancer patients for several decades as complementary medicine. A multicentric, randomized, open, prospective clinical trial was conducted in three oncological centers in the People's Republic of China in Bejing, Shenyang and Tianjin.
BACKGROUND
Malignant pleural effusion is a common problem in patients with solid tumours. It has a significant impact on quality of life, and, hence, there is a substantial need to investigate new agents to treat it.
METHODS
This is a prospective randomised controlled study, including patients with
Chemical pleurodesis is widely recommended in the treatment of pulmonary air leak of different etiologies as well as malignant pleural effusions and chylothorax. Conventional chemical pleurodesis using erythromycin, tetracycline, hydrophilic fumed silica, autologous blood and talc slurry has been
OBJECTIVE
Manifestations of malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are alleviated by local therapies as well as by systemic treatment. After 2009, when commercial use of talc was discontinued in Korea, we have used Helixor-M, which is derived from the European mistletoe (Viscum album), as an alternative
OBJECTIVE
Along with the use of herbal medicines worldwide, the number of cases of reported herbal-induced hepatotoxicity has also been increasing. This report describes a case of liver injury caused by mistletoe and kudzu extracts in a patient previously in good health.
METHODS
A 55-year-old man
OBJECTIVE
Knowledge of natural mistletoe lectins (nML) pharmacokinetics can be regarded as essential for further rational studies with mistletoe preparations. Studies with intravenous application of a recombinant type II ribosome inactivating protein (rML) analogous to nML revealed a short half-life
OBJECTIVE
We determined the maximum tolerated dose, safety and effectiveness of intravesical instillation of mistletoe extract after transurethral resection of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer.
METHODS
In this single group dose escalation study patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer were
Thymic neuroendocrine tumor (TNET) is very rare and characterized by a tendency to invade adjacent structures, frequent metastasis, resistance to therapy, and a poor prognosis. Viscum album extracts (VAE) have shown immunological, apoptogenic, and cytotoxic
