Intll Jnl of Oncology: Ganoderma lucidum (herbal mushrooms) exerts anti-tumor effects on ovarian cancer cells and enhances their sensitivity to cisplatin (York University Toronto)



"Ganoderma lucidum is a herbal mushroom known to have many health benefits, including the inhibition of tumor cell growth. However, the effect of Ganoderma lucidum on epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the most fatal gynecological malignancy, has not yet been reported...................... Taken together, these findings suggest that Ganoderma lucidum exerts multiple anti-tumor effects on ovarian cancer cells and can enhance the sensitivity of EOC cells to cisplatin."
