Mushroom Supplement Found to Slow Prostate Cancer Progression
Researchers at City of Hope have found that white button mushroom supplements may slow the progression of prostate cancer by reducing cancer-promoting immune cells, according to early clinical trial results. The study, part of a phase 2 clinical trial, suggests that these mushrooms can decrease myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and increase cancer-fighting T cells, potentially transforming 'cold' tumors into 'hot' ones. While promising, further research is needed, and experts advise against self-prescribing supplements without professional guidance.
