Oncothermia and Integrative Medicine-A Novel Paradigm for Infratentorial Meningioma Management: A Case Report With...

Infratentorial meningiomas (IM) pose unique challenges in treatment due to their location and proximity to critical neurovascular structures such as cranial nerves, arteries, veins, etc. This case report presents the efficacy of an integrative medicine approach in managing IM, highlighting the multidisciplinary collaboration of modern medicine, yoga, naturopathy, and homeopathy. A 60-year-old male with IM, deemed unsuitable for surgery, underwent a tailored integrative medicine protocol involving oncothermia, ozone therapy, high-dose vitamin C, hydrogen inhalation, time-restricted feeding, hydrotherapy, biologicals, acupuncture, and yoga. Follow-up assessments revealed significant symptom reduction, stable biochemical markers, and tumor size reduction observed in MRI scans. While individual modalities have demonstrated benefits in cancer care, this case underscores the potential of integrating diverse therapies to address the multifaceted challenges of IM. The findings offer valuable insights into the evolving landscape of integrative medicine in brain tumor management, suggesting promise for improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life. Further research and clinical trials are warranted to comprehensively evaluate the safety and efficacy of integrative approaches in IM treatment.
