J Altern Complement Med. 2005 Feb;11(1):161-5. doi: 10.1089/acm.2005.11.161.

Abstract

The accepted postsurgical first-line therapy for primary peritoneal cancer has been a regime of chemotherapy. This paper reports the case of an 89-year-old female who refused chemotherapy but accepted a nutritional alternative. Results after more than 4 years of the nutritional regime have been encouraging with regards to objective and subjective measures.
