Mushrooms as adjuvants in Cancer Treatment: Clinical Data and Pharmacology Review
with Kevin Spelman, CSO
Session Description
Medicinal mushrooms have been approved adjuncts to standard cancer treatments in Japan and China for more than 30 years and have an extensive history of safe use as single agents or combined with radiation therapy or chemotherapy. In this presentation we will examine the ethnobotany, chemistry and compare fruiting body vs. mycelia. Then we take a dive into the pharmacology, dosing and safety, and close the session by examining case studies with laboratory data using Ganoderma lucidum (reishi) and Lentinus edodes (shitake) in cancer patients.
