Progress in Research on the Antitumor Mechanisms and Clinical Applications of Active Compounds from Phellinus igniarius
Abstract
Phellinus igniarius, a medicinal fungus with significant antitumor potential, exerts its inhibitory effects through multiple mechanisms, including the induction of apoptosis and immune modulation. However, its molecular mechanisms, signaling pathways, dose-response relationships, and the feasibility of clinical translation remain to be systematically elucidated. This essay reviews the latest research advancements in the antitumor effects of Phellinus igniarius, and identifies key challenges in areas such as synergistic effects and clinical applications. It aims to provide a reference for further research and development of Phellinus igniarius in the field of cancer therapy.
