A woman from Yilan was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer many years ago, with doctors finding hundreds of tumors in her lungs. Targeted treatment proved ineffective, leaving her wheelchair bound. She returned home to seek treatment at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Hospital. After just two short months at the hospital, all of her tumors have miraculously disappeared.
74-year-old Ms. Sung is a portrait of health. You’d have never guessed that eight years ago, she was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer with hundreds of tumors appearing in her lungs. Her condition deteriorated rapidly, with one tumor even growing to 18cm.
That was a very difficult time for me.
At the time, she needed a wheelchair and oxygen to get around. She decided to return to her hometown in Yilan for treatment at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Hospital. Doctors there decided to abandon targeted treatment and instead try chemotherapy. After just two months, all the tumors in her liver and lungs reduced dramatically, and have all but disappeared.

Traditionally, you need lots of people to come up with a treatment plan. But now with the development of AI, we’ve discovered it can provide valuable assistance in this area.
Huang Chih-hsien
NYCU Hospital president
The key is early detection and treatment. The treatment strategy for cancer is incredibly important. So our entire team works together to develop plans for all of our patients.
Three years ago, Ms. Sung’s tumor marker rose to 197, and a new 1.2cm tumor appeared in her liver. The hospital used precision radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy, eventually succeeding in eliminating the tumor once again.

Patient
Just seeing a doctor makes me feel like I’m halfway to recovery. That sense of reliance and warmth that seeps deep into your heart is hard to describe.
The hospital emphasized that this rare case in which a patient reversed her terminal cancer diagnosis demonstrates the importance of personalized treatment and interdepartmental collaboration. It also gives new hope to many cancer patients.

宜蘭有一名婦人,多年前曾罹患肝癌末期,以及肺部「數百顆腫瘤」,標靶治療也沒效,移動得靠輪椅。但返鄉回到陽交大附醫尋求醫療,短短兩個月腫瘤竟然「全部消失」,創下罕見奇蹟。
74歲的宋女士,看起來很健康,完全看不出來八年前,她肝癌末期合併雙側肺部「數百顆」轉移性腫瘤,病況惡化速度快,甚至暴增到18公分。
- 那個痛苦期是很難度過的
當時的她,需要氧氣和輪椅才能移動,家住宜蘭的她決定返鄉就醫,轉至陽交大附醫。經評估後,放棄標靶,改採化療。沒想到兩個月後,包括肝臟與肺部在內的數百顆腫瘤大幅縮小,幾乎全部消失。

"傳統是要靠人工,靠大量的人力去做這個治療的規劃,那現在因為AI越來越發達,發現到AI也能夠在這塊提供很好的輔助"
[[陽明交大醫院院長 黃志賢]]
"重點是要早期發現早期治療,癌症治療的策略非常重要,所以我們是整個團隊,在幫所有的患者擬定治療的策略"
三年前,宋女士腫瘤指數再度升到197,肝臟又出現1.2公分新腫瘤,院方以更精準的放射線治療搭配化療,最終再度成功清除腫瘤。

"一個病人能夠看到醫生,就覺得我的病幾乎好了一半,那種依賴感還有深入你心裡的溫暖,很難去形容"
陽明交大醫院表示,這起罕見的「末期肝癌逆轉」案,再次證明個別化治療與跨領域合作的重要性,也讓更多癌症病患看見希望。
