Case Study: Potential Impact of Medicinal Mushroom Capsules on Merkel Cell Carcinoma Remission

Amelia Kahn, Dr. Robin H. Miller

Abstract: This case study examines the efficacy of medicinal mushroom capsules as an adjunctive treatment for Merkel Cell Carcinoma MCC in a patient undergoing surgical resection. Despite the high risk of recurrence associated with MCC, the patient, who took a blend of medicinal mushrooms, showed no recurrence for over 15 years. The findings suggest a potential role for mushroom supplements in MCC management, warranting further research into alternative treatments for this aggressive skin cancer.
