Multidisciplinary Integrative Medicine Approach for Cancer Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

mycolabadmin

This study shows that when cancer patients use complementary treatments like mushroom supplements, vitamins, and probiotics alongside their cancer medications under doctor supervision, they experience fewer side effects and better quality of life. Almost 93% of patients had no side effects from these supplements, and many reported less fatigue and better overall wellness. The key finding is that patients should work with their medical team rather than self-prescribing these treatments to avoid dangerous interactions.

Prognostic model for gastric cancer patients with COVID-19 and network pharmacology study on treatment by lentinan

mycolabadmin

This study investigated how lentinan, a compound from shiitake mushrooms, might help treat patients who have both gastric cancer and COVID-19. Researchers identified five genes that predict patient outcomes and found that lentinan may work by controlling immune cell activity and reducing inflammation. The study suggests lentinan could be a useful additional treatment for this challenging combination of diseases, though more research is needed.

The Anticancer Potential of Edible Mushrooms: A Review of Selected Species from Roztocze, Poland

mycolabadmin

This review examines edible mushrooms found in Poland’s Roztocze region for their potential to fight cancer. These mushrooms contain natural compounds like polysaccharides and proteins that can kill cancer cells in laboratory studies through various mechanisms, including triggering cell death and boosting immune function. While promising, these findings from laboratory and animal studies need further development before becoming clinical treatments.

Bioactive Peptides and Other Immunomodulators of Mushroom Origin

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms contain special compounds called peptides and proteins that can boost your immune system and fight harmful bacteria. These mushroom-derived compounds show promise as natural alternatives to antibiotics, which are becoming less effective due to antibiotic resistance. Researchers are studying how these mushroom compounds could help treat difficult infections, wounds that won’t heal, and cancer, though more testing is needed before they can be used widely as medicines.

Tumor-associated macrophages in tumor progression and the role of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating TAMs to enhance antitumor effects

mycolabadmin

This review explains how tumor-associated macrophages (immune cells) can either fight or help cancer depending on their type. Traditional Chinese Medicine contains compounds that can reprogram these macrophages to fight cancer more effectively. By shifting macrophages from a cancer-supporting state to a cancer-fighting state, TCM treatments could enhance the body’s natural ability to combat tumors and reduce side effects of conventional cancer therapies.

Edible Mushrooms: A Comprehensive Review on Bioactive Compounds with Health Benefits and Processing Aspects

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms are nutrient-rich foods packed with beneficial compounds that can help prevent various diseases including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. They contain natural antioxidants and immune-boosting substances that support overall health. Scientists are developing new extraction methods to capture these beneficial compounds more efficiently, and various cooking and processing techniques can help preserve their nutritional value for daily consumption.

Isolation Techniques, Structural Characteristics, and Pharmacological Effects of Phellinus Polysaccharides: A Review

mycolabadmin

This review examines how scientists extract and study beneficial compounds called polysaccharides from a medicinal fungus called Phellinus. These polysaccharides show promise in fighting cancer, reducing inflammation, and boosting immune function. Different extraction methods affect the quality and effectiveness of these compounds, and researchers are working to optimize these techniques for better therapeutic applications.

Current Uses of Mushrooms in Cancer Treatment and Their Anticancer Mechanisms

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review examines how medicinal mushrooms can help treat cancer. Certain mushroom species and their compounds, particularly polysaccharides, can boost the immune system to fight cancer cells, reduce chemotherapy side effects, and overcome drug resistance. Multiple mushrooms are currently in clinical trials showing promise in improving cancer patient outcomes when used alongside conventional treatments.

Research Progress on the Mechanisms of Polysaccharides against Gastric Cancer

mycolabadmin

This review explores how natural polysaccharides from mushrooms, seaweed, plants, and traditional herbs can fight gastric cancer. These compounds work by triggering cancer cell death, stopping tumor growth, and boosting the body’s immune system. Unlike conventional chemotherapy drugs that cause serious side effects, these natural polysaccharides offer a safer alternative that can work alongside existing treatments to improve patient survival.

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

mycolabadmin

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.
