A meta-analysis of individual patient data found PSK improved survival after gastric cancer surgery
Pooling individual patient data from multiple randomized trials of curatively resected gastric cancer, this analysis found that adding polysaccharide K (PSK, derived from Trametes versicolor) to postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with significantly improved overall and disease-free survival compared with chemotherapy alone.
Meta-analysis (individual patient data)A randomized trial combined PSK with oral chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery
In this randomized controlled study of patients with curatively resected stage II or III colorectal cancer, oral adjuvant chemotherapy (tegafur/uracil) combined with PSK was compared against the oral chemotherapy alone, investigating whether the low-toxicity regimen could support outcomes alongside standard adjuvant treatment.
Human RCTA phase III trial tested adding PSK to postoperative chemotherapy for stage II/IIIA gastric cancer
In this randomized multicenter phase III study (Hokuriku-Kinki Immunochemo-Therapy Study Group), patients with curatively resected stage II/IIIA gastric cancer were assigned to postoperative S-1 chemotherapy alone or S-1 plus PSK, comparing survival outcomes between the two adjuvant regimens.
Human RCT (phase III)A trial found Coriolus versicolor polysaccharide peptide slowed progression of advanced lung cancer
In patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, this study found that polysaccharide peptide (PSP) isolated from Coriolus versicolor (Trametes versicolor) was associated with slower disease progression, alongside investigation of its effects on immune and inflammatory markers.
Human clinical studyA randomized trial added PSK to chemoradiotherapy before rectal cancer surgery
Thirty patients with advanced rectal adenocarcinoma were randomized to preoperative chemoradiotherapy alone or the same treatment plus PSK; the PSK group showed a significant increase in natural killer cell counts and peri-tumoral cytotoxic T-cell counts, with reduced serum immunosuppressive protein levels, suggesting combined use may help preserve immune function during radiotherapy.
Human RCTA systematic review examined how Yunzhi (Trametes versicolor) interacts with cancer chemotherapy drugs
Reviewing 77 clinical studies on the combined use of Yunzhi (Trametes versicolor, the source of PSK) or Lingzhi with cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs, this review found associations with improved survival, better quality of life, reduced tumour size, immune modulation and fewer chemotherapy side effects, with only two studies specifically assessing pharmacokinetic interaction (finding none between PSK and tegafur).
Systematic reviewAn MD Anderson systematic review found a survival benefit from PSK in gastric cancer studies
Screening 2,349 studies down to 39 clinical mushroom studies published over a decade, this systematic review found a survival benefit reported in four gastric cancer studies using polysaccharide-K (PSK) in the adjuvant setting, alongside positive immunological responses in 11 studies and quality-of-life improvement in 14, with most adverse effects being mild.
Systematic reviewA scoping review of nine clinical studies included Turkey Tail among mushrooms studied in gastric, breast and colorectal cancer
Reviewing clinical studies from 2012-2023 on medicinal mushrooms - including Coriolus versicolor/Turkey Tail, the source of PSK - in gastric, breast and colorectal cancer, this review found evidence of preventing lymph node metastasis, prolonging overall survival, decreasing chemotherapy side effects like diarrhea and vomiting, and helping maintain immune function and quality of life.
Scoping reviewA network meta-analysis assessed PSK's efficacy and safety across gastrointestinal cancers
This systematic review and network meta-analysis compared PSK, with or without chemotherapy, across studies in patients with gastrointestinal cancer to assess its comparative therapeutic efficacy and safety profile.
Systematic review / network meta-analysisA review outlines how PSK (Krestin) recovers immune suppression and supports chemotherapy
This review of PSK's biological mechanism describes recovery from immunosuppression caused by surgery, chemotherapy or growth factors like TGF-beta; activation of anti-tumour immune responses including dendritic cell maturation and correction of Th1/Th2 balance; and support of chemotherapy's anti-tumour effect via apoptosis induction, citing multiple meta-analyses of a survival benefit in gastric and colorectal cancer when combined with adjuvant chemotherapy.
ReviewA review surveys three decades of PSK use as a cancer chemoimmunotherapy agent in Asia
This review summarizes PSK's (polysaccharide-Kureha, also called Krestin) use as a chemoimmunotherapy agent for over 30 years in Asia, describing its proposed anticancer mechanisms and implications for cancer immunotherapy.
ReviewA study measured immune changes in gastrointestinal cancer patients taking oral PSK
In 29 gastric and 18 colorectal cancer patients, this study assessed the effects of orally administered protein-bound polysaccharide PSK on immunological status, examining how the treatment modulated immune markers in gastrointestinal cancer patients.
Human clinical studyPSK partially protected circulating T cells from chemotherapy-induced cell death
In gastric cancer patients receiving the anti-cancer drug S-1, this study found that concomitant PSK partially prevented apoptosis of circulating T cells, addressing the T-cell dysfunction that commonly occurs during chemotherapy.
Human clinical studyPSK's effect on a specific T-cell subset was linked to improved survival in advanced gastric cancer
Building on reports that oral PSK plus tegafur/uracil improves survival in stage II/III colorectal cancer, this study investigated whether PSK suppresses CD57-positive T cells (associated with immune senescence) as a possible mechanism behind improved survival in advanced gastric cancer patients.
Human clinical studyPSP was found to modulate a key immune signaling pathway in breast cancer patients' blood cells
Using peripheral blood mononuclear cells from breast cancer patients, this study examined how polysaccharopeptide (PSP), isolated from the Coriolus versicolor COV-1 strain, modulates the TLR4-TIRAP/MAL-MyD88 immune signaling pathway, a mechanism relevant to its long-standing use as a cancer immunotherapy adjuvant.
Human ex vivo studyPSK triggered cell-cycle arrest and programmed cell death in cultured tumour cells
In laboratory tumour cell line experiments, PSK (derived from the CM-101 strain of Coriolus versicolor) induced cytotoxic activity through arrest of the cell cycle and induction of apoptosis, contributing to understanding of its anticancer activity observed in vivo and in human cancers.
In vitro studyResearchers identified a second active component in PSK working alongside its beta-glucan
This study identified a previously unreported lipid component within PSK that activates Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), distinct from PSK's well-characterized protein-bound beta-glucan (which signals through the Dectin-1 receptor) - laboratory experiments showed the two components act synergistically to enhance immune cell uptake of the beta-glucan.
In vitro / mechanistic studyTurkey Tail mycelium and its fermented growth substrate each showed distinct immune-activating effects in human cells
Testing human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, this study found that Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail) mycelium triggered robust activation of lymphocytes and monocytes (via the CD69 marker), while the metabolically fermented substrate it grew on triggered a different pattern of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine release - indicating the mycelium itself contributes meaningful, complementary immune-activating bioactivity.
In vitro study (human cells)A 2025 study measured the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties of Turkey Tail extracts
Testing polysaccharide and ethanol-extractable fractions from Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor), this study measured antioxidant activity alongside inhibition of inflammatory enzymes (lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase) and antiproliferative effects against cancer cell lines, with simulated digestion increasing the release of some bioactive compounds.
In vitro studyTurkey Tail extracts showed the strongest antioxidant activity among three wild Trametes species tested
Comparing hot water extracts of Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail), T. hirsuta and T. gibbosa collected from northern Iran's Hyrcanian Forest, this study found T. versicolor basidiocarp and mycelium extracts had significantly higher antioxidant activity - particularly in scavenging DPPH and superoxide radicals - than the other species, alongside cytotoxic effects against several cancer cell lines.
In vitro studyA review of six 'new-generation' medicinal mushrooms includes Turkey Tail's antioxidant and immunomodulatory profile
Reviewing Lion's Mane, Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps, Shiitake and Turkey Tail, this review describes their shared content of beta-glucans, triterpenes, phenolic compounds and sterols, and summarizes reported anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic and immunomodulatory effects across this group of functional-food mushrooms.
ReviewA randomized trial found Turkey Tail's polysaccharopeptide acted as a gut prebiotic in healthy volunteers
In a randomized clinical trial, 24 healthy volunteers received polysaccharopeptide (PSP) from Trametes versicolor, the antibiotic amoxicillin, or no treatment; stool analysis over 8 weeks found PSP produced consistent microbiome changes characteristic of prebiotic activity, in contrast to amoxicillin, which substantially disrupted the microbiome for weeks.
Human RCTA review surveys Turkey Tail's polysaccharopeptide as both an anti-tumour agent and a gut prebiotic
This review summarizes research on PSP, the polysaccharopeptide isolated from cultured Trametes versicolor mycelium (strain Cov-1), covering its antitumorigenic and immunomodulatory effects, its studied role in eliminating prostate cancer stem cells, and its activity as a prebiotic that helps control the intestinal microbiome.
ReviewA 2025 review maps how Trametes versicolor's polysaccharides may help remodel the gut microbiome
Surveying how edible and medicinal fungi influence gut health, this review describes how bioactive fungal components - including polysaccharides from Trametes versicolor - may improve intestinal barrier function and immune homeostasis by modulating gut bacteria composition and increasing beneficial short-chain fatty acid production, while noting most evidence so far comes from preclinical studies.
