Long-term stabilization of stage 4 colon cancer using sodium dichloroacetate therapy

Figure 1 Abdominal computerized tomography scan after 4 mo of integrative therapy with dichloroacetate sodium, 5-fluorouracil and natural medicines. Three slices with various measurable liver metastases shown. A: 23 mm × 33 mm liver metastasis; B: 15 mm diameter liver metastasis; C: 11.2 mm × 25 mm liver metastasis.

Figure 3 Abdominal computerized tomography scan after 3 additional months of integrative therapy (dichloroacetate sodium + 5-fluorouracil + natural medicines), followed by nearly 4 years of dichloroacetate sodium without any concurrent conventional cancer therapies. Scans demonstrate absence of cancer re-growth and absence of new liver metastases. Same slices as Figure 1 are shown. A: 11.3 mm × 27.5 mm liver metastasis; B: No metastases visible; C: No metastases visible.
