An increasing trend in younger patients diagnosed with breast cancer is observed. Integrative Medicine (combining Eastern and Western practices) for Body, Mind and Spirit Care.

A 42-year-old female patient experienced a noticeable lump growth in her right breast. After consulting with Dr. Ku Jun-Ping, and undergoing an ultrasound and biopsy, the tumor was approximately 2 cm and was initially diagnosed as stage II breast cancer. However, positron emission tomography (PET) revealed metastasis to other organs, confirming stage IV breast cancer. The patient is currently undergoing chemotherapy and targeted therapy, with plans for partial mastectomy and radiotherapy to inhibit tumor growth.

Dr. Ku Jun-Ping notes that younger breast cancer patients face significant psychological adjustment, and familial and treatment pressures. To support these patients, the hospital established the "Breast Health Care Center," integrating seven major departments: general surgery, hematology and oncology, medical imaging, radiation oncology, nuclear medicine, pathology, traditional Chinese medicine, and specialized breast cancer case managers. This center provides comprehensive, one-stop services from diagnosis, screening, surgery, chemotherapy, adjuvant therapy and radiotherapy to follow-up care, combining Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine to offer holistic care and maintain quality of life.
