Study on Breast Lump and Its Homoeopathic Management

Abstract

Each case was studied independently and follow up evaluation after homoeopathic treatment was based onultrasonography, mammography and serologically by tumour markers. Maximum cure rate was noticed in fibroadenosis (55.93%) followed by inflammatory lesions (44.46%)while remarkable improvement was noticed in fibrocystic disease (57.4%) and fibroadenoma (51.66%). Only one case of carcinoma breast showed improvement on study of tumourmarker. in inflammatory lesions response was very good from the beginning. Benign cystic lesions required meticulous selectionof well indicated constitutional medicine. Fibroadenoma cases showed excellent response. Therapeutic efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in cases of carcinoma patients needs a more detailed study on the basis of recent prognostic criteria, like tumour markers.
