If Phellinus linteus is used as an auxiliary anti-cancer treatment, it is best to start taking Phellinus linteus decoction before operation. The specific method is: put the water into the medicine pot, without adding Phellinus linteus and all the decoction pieces, boil it and cook it for 30 to 40 minutes with medium and low fire. A slight soup color is acceptable. Yin, an expert in traditional Chinese medicine and a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine of Beijing Branch of Chinese Medical Association, suggested the following treatment methods for breast cancer: Phellinus linteus 20g, Coriolus versicolor 20g, wooden hoof 20g, Ganoderma lucidum 10g, Poria cocos 10g, Pleurotus ostreatus 10g, and puffball 10g, one dose per day.

This prescription can be used as an adjuvant drug for breast cancer (during surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy), which can improve immunity, promote wound healing, reduce the toxicity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, increase the number of red blood cells and white blood cells, reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and cancer cell metastasis, and reduce complications.
