The study was conducted at Fuda Cancer Hospital of Jinan University and was approved by the ethics committee. The authors of the report state that there is no conflict of interest, and the patient herself gave her consent to publish the results of the study.<\/p>\n

In November 2015, the 44-year-old woman was admitted to the university hospital with complaints of dizziness and headache. An MRI (nuclear magnetic resonance) was performed, which established brain metastases and a CAT (computed tomography) of the chest, which visualized the lung carcinoma – the primary focus. Adenocarcinoma was proven from the biopsy performed, and from the genetic tests performed – data on mutations in the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) gene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1655897290605{margin: 0px !important;padding: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm” css=”.vc_custom_1655897300612{margin: 0px !important;padding: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”8822″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1655935500700{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”mobile-bg-none bg-fxd bgp-left flx-col-rvrs” css=”.vc_custom_1687191541356{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background: #02024a url(https:\/\/hho-bulgaria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vodorodna-Terapia-Rak-Byal-Drob_BG-3-fxd-2.jpg?id=8801) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1655822467060{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1655911143652{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: #000048 !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1689433222259{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]\n

Targeted therapy was started. The disease was well controlled until July 2017, and in September it progressed. A change in the patient’s targeted therapy followed, and she stabilized until March 2018, when the disease progressed again, and the patient’s general condition worsened.<\/p>\n

A new CT scan of the chest was carried out, from which an enlargement of the primary focus in the right lung, the appearance of new lung metastases were detected, and the conducted MRI revealed more metastases and their complications – accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles (cavities in the brain ).<\/p>\n

The patient refused radiotherapy and neurosurgical intervention at this time and signed an informed consent for Hydrogen Therapy<\/p>\n

Clinical Results<\/strong> of the conducted Hydrogen Therapy<\/h2>\n

From April 2018, as the only treatment, the patient started doing inhalations with hydrogen.<\/p>\n

After four months of treatment, most of the brain metastases were removed<\/strong>, and the amount of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain cavities (third ventricle and lateral ventricles) was significantly reduced.<\/p>\n

After one year of treatment, the brain metastases were erased<\/strong>, the patient felt well and did not stop doing hydrogen inhalations for 3-5 hours a day. A significant reduction in the level of tumor markers (CEA and CA-125) was also found from the conducted research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1655899818482{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”14679″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1687186867883{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1686924698599{padding-top: 2rem !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 2rem !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}”]\n

From the graphs attached above, a significant decrease in the level of tumor markers (CEA, CA125 and CYFRA21-1) is clearly seen for the 4 and 12 month periods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is not yet clear whether what happened in the history of the 44-year-old patient is due to one or more mechanisms, namely the neuroprotective effect of hydrogen inhalations either through activation of the anti-apoptotic protein kinase B, or is due to the anti-inflammatory properties of hydrogen therapy , which reduces the production of inflammatory mediators and interleukins (IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, ICAM-1, HMGB1, NF-kB and PGE2).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

Inhalation of hydrogen gas can be used as an alternative or as part of the complex therapy of a number of oncological diseases, especially lung carcinoma. And as it becomes clear from the follow-up of the case with the 44-year-old patient – also with metastases in the brain and liver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1687191094262{padding-top: 1rem !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1687186091870{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]\n

\n

Hydrogen therapy can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of shortness<\/strong> of breath, cough and sputum production in lung cancer patients, as well as the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, dizziness and headache – characteristic of brain metastases.<\/p>\n

Here, the fact that hydrogen therapy is characterized by a good tolerance and safety profile also comes into consideration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1655929114036{padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
