- Abstract: Five cases of various diseases associated with breast cancer treatment including arthralgia, menopausal symptoms, chemotherapy-associated symptoms (nausea, vomiting, numbness, pain, general fatigue), and anxiety neuroses during follow-up were treated with Kampo medicine and a favorable course was obtained. Combined use of Kampo treatment can reduce the suffering caused by the side effects of breast cancer treatment, alleviate mental symptoms, prevent recurrence, and improve the patients' health. Kampo medicine plays a role in cancer supportive care for breast cancer.
