Summary

This study tests whether turkey tail mushrooms can help treat a common type of breast cancer in post-menopausal women. About 40 women will take the mushroom supplement in the weeks between diagnosis and surgery. Researchers will measure changes in a tumor growth marker (Ki-67) and track quality of life. The goal is to see if this natural supplement can slow or shrink the cancer before standard surgical treatment.
