Mushroom Extract: A New Ally in Prostate Cancer Fight
Researchers at the City of Hope have found that white button mushroom extract may slow or prevent prostate cancer growth by reducing myeloid-derived suppressor cells, which suppress the immune response. Early trials in mice and humans show promising results, suggesting the extract could enhance anti-cancer immune defenses when used alongside traditional treatments. While the exact mechanism is unknown, the study supports the potential of 'food as medicine' in cancer care. The findings were published in Clinical and Translational Medicine.
