Cancer poses a global challenge, and though some may be cured depending on various factors, there isn’t any one cure for the disease. This is especially evident in advanced-stage cancers, where patients often suffer in pain during their final days. As the search for cancer remedies continues, let’s explore three remarkable case reports involving the use of a medicinal mushroom called Phellinus linteus (Sanghuang) in cancer treatment.

In Japan, a 79-year-old man sought medical attention due to upper abdominal discomfort and received a diagnosis of liver cancer accompanied by multiple lung metastases. He did not undergo any treatment but chose to self-administer Sanghuang for one month. Six months later, the tumors appeared to have completely regressed, even though late-stage liver cancer is typically considered incurable.
