Maitake Pro4X has anti-cancer activity and prevents oncogenesis in BALBc mice.

The understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the immune tolerance induced by the tumoral microenvironment is fundamental to prevent cancer development or to treat cancer patients using immunotherapy. Actually, there are investigations about "addressed-drugs" against cancer cells without affecting normal cells. It could be ideal to find selective and specific compounds that only recognize and destroy tumor cells without damaging the host normal cells.

Genes related to suppression of malignant phenotype induced by Maitake D-Fraction in breast cancer cells.

It is already known that the Maitake (D-Fraction) mushroom is involved in stimulating the immune system and activating certain cells that attack cancer, including macrophages, T-cells, and natural killer cells. According to the U.S.

HER2/neu protein expression and fine needle breast aspiration from Argentinean patients with non-palpable breast lesions.

The objective of this pilot project was to investigate whether the breast fine needle aspiration (FNA) technique is a useful tool for determining the increased risk of breast cancer in patients with non-palpable breast lesions. FNA is a minimally invasive technique that isolates mammary epithelial cells from breast cells in the suspicious region. In this study, two FNA samples were collected from 12 patients.
