Article Synopsis
- - The use of Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM), such as mushroom powder supplements, is on the rise among cancer patients but can pose risks, including liver damage and drug interactions with chemotherapy.
- - A case study of a 43-year-old woman with metastatic colorectal cancer revealed that her liver issues were linked to her self-medication with mushroom capsules containing ABM; chemotherapy was halted due to her elevated liver enzyme levels.
- - After stopping the supplement, her liver function improved, emphasizing the need for more disclosure between patients and healthcare providers regarding CAM use and the importance of analyzing these products for safety in cancer treatment.
