CNA Hong Kong, November 10th - Taipei News: According to Taiwanese media reports, patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia often suffer from side effects such as hair loss, sepsis, and bone marrow loss during chemotherapy. Based on five years of treatment observations involving the injection of arsenic trioxide (commonly known as arsenic) into patients, the Taiwanese medical community has confirmed that arsenic trioxide not only targets and eliminates cancer cells but also leaves no side effects.
Dr. Huang Mingzhe, a hematology and oncology specialist at Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, presented a paper at the Taiwan Medical Association this morning. He pointed out that Taiwan is not the first to apply arsenic trioxide in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia, but after five years of exploration, Taiwan's treatment efficacy has caught up with that of the United States. Patients only need to be injected with a 0.1% concentration of arsenic trioxide daily, with a 30-day treatment cycle, followed by a 15-day break, and then another 30-day injection. Within approximately 90 to 114 days, the white blood cell count will return to normal levels.
Dr. Huang Mingzhe stated that in the past, chemotherapy could not specifically target cancer cells, instead killing both good and bad cells, severely weakening the patient's vitality. Patients often experienced hair loss, and some required blood transfusions to replenish lost bone marrow, increasing the risk of infection. The treatment effect of arsenic trioxide is relatively mild, with patients experiencing no pain and maintaining a better quality of life during treatment.
Dr. Huang Mingzhe mentioned that arsenic trioxide was used in ancient Europe to treat coughs, kill insects, and cure malaria. In China, some women used it for skin whitening. However, since arsenic can be toxic if the concentration is incorrect, the injection of arsenic trioxide must be controlled by a physician and should never be self-administered. Dr. Huang Mingzhe also observed that patients receiving arsenic trioxide treatment not only had their condition controlled but also experienced improved skin conditions, likely due to the effects of arsenic.
