Abstract

Conventional treatment of cancer had got many challenges. So many patients opt for alternative treatment like Ayurveda and therefore visit Ayurvedic hospital, practitioners, etc. for their treatment. But for Ayurvedic treatment, a proper Ayurvedic evidence-based diagnosis is important. For evidence-based diagnosis, histopathological report needed to be interpreted in Ayurveda. So, the histopathological report of a certain case of Carcinoma Rectum was studied in the light of Ayurveda to find out the interpretation of the disease. In this regard a clinical case study was done on a certain case of Carcinoma Rectum who came to Cancer Speciality Clinic of Government Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Guwahati. Her histopathological report was studied and a possible interpretation in Ayurveda was made.
