Nutritional strategies in supporting immune checkpoint inhibitor, PI3K inhibitor, and tyrosine kinase inhibitor cancer therapies

This review examines how nutrition and food-based interventions can improve cancer treatment outcomes for patients receiving targeted cancer therapies. A Mediterranean-style diet with plenty of fiber (30-50g daily) appears beneficial for patients on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies by promoting healthy gut bacteria that support immune function. The review also discusses promising research on fermented foods, specific bacterial supplements, mushroom extracts, and fasting approaches as complementary strategies to enhance cancer treatment effectiveness while reducing side effects.

Recent Advances in the Use of Ganoderma lucidum and Coriolus versicolor Mushrooms to Enhance the Anticancer Efficacy of EGFR-Targeted Drugs in Lung Cancer

This review explores how two medicinal mushrooms traditionally used in Asian medicine—Lingzhi and Yunzhi—can enhance the effectiveness of lung cancer drugs (EGFR-TKIs) and help overcome drug resistance. These mushrooms contain special compounds that can fight cancer in multiple ways, boost the immune system, and reduce side effects. The research suggests that combining these mushrooms with standard cancer treatments may improve outcomes for lung cancer patients.
