Medicinal Mushroom Preparations against Lung CancerNeven Jakopovic
In this cohort study, 13 patients with advanced small cell lung carcinoma and 52 with non-small cell lung carcinoma used medicinal mushroom extract (Dr Myko San company) from 2004 to 2007, and their status was assessed in 2009.
Using medicinal mushroom extracts with standard oncological therapy resulted in these significant dose-depended effects:
improved cancer survival and delayed mortality
decreases in tumor size
improved quality of life scores
when compared with standard therapy alone. Significant side effects or decreases in performance status, tolerance to therapy or outcome was not observed.
This work was presented by Dr. Ivan Jakopovic at the 5th International Medicinal Mushroom Conference in Nantong, China, in 2009.
