Abstract

Data from multiple epidemiologic and clinical studies on immune effects of conventional cancer treatment and the clinical benefits of polysaccharide, immune therapy suggest that immune function has a role in breast cancer prevention. Immune therapy utilizing the polysaccharide, constituents of Trametes versicolor (Tv) as concurrent adjuvant cancer therapy may be warranted as part of a comprehensive cancer treatment and secondary prevention strategy.
