Abstrakt: Colorectal cancer, or carcinoma of the colon, is a malignant neoplasm occurring in the large intestine. The cancer occurs due to a bad lifestyle or abnormal diet patterns, along with genetic implications. The modern treatment is often extensive, with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, leaving an array of side effects. A case of colon cancer in an elderly female patient who presented initially with stomatitis, later diagnosed as adenocarcinoma of the colon is reported here. She opted for complete Ayurvedic treatment, which was given for 3 years to attain complete regression of said cancer. The case report aims to present the symptoms, treatment regimens, and dietary modifications of such a case with a basic literature review on Ayurveda treatment of these cancers.
