1) What is anal carcinoma? Anal carcinoma is a rather rare cancer of the anal canal or anal verge. In most cases it is histologically a squamous cell carcinoma. A crucial point: HPV (human papillomaviruses) are detectable in the vast majority of these tumors and are considered a central trigger.Continue reading

Ampullary carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor in the area of the papilla Vateri (ampulla of Vater) - i.e. where the bile duct and pancreatic duct open into the duodenum. Due to this location, the tumor often leads to a blockage of bile flow at an early stage, which is why the disease is sometimes noticed earlier than pancreatic cancer.Continue reading

1 What is adrenocortical carcinoma? Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant tumor of the adrenal cortex. The adrenal glands sit like „caps“ on the kidneys and consist of cortex (cortisol, aldosterone, androgens) and medulla (adrenaline/noradrenaline). ACC develops in the cortex - and is therefore often associated with hormone overproduction. ACC is rare:Continue reading

What the IARC Group 1 classification really means (with evidence check 2015-2025) Abstract The WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies processed meat as „carcinogenic to humans“ (Group 1) - with the most robust evidence for colorectal cancer. This classification is often misunderstood in social media: Group 1 describes the strength of the evidenceContinue reading

What we are talking about here: Medicinal mushrooms (often called „medicinal mushrooms“ in medical terms) are used in oncology primarily as an adjuvant - i.e. not „against the tumor“, but to support well-being, resilience and certain side effects. There is interesting data (especially on standardized extracts), but also limitations: Not everything is proven, much isContinue reading

Checklist for therapy phases, laboratory values, medication Medicinal mushrooms (e.g. Reishi, Maitake, Trametes/Coriolus, Chaga) are often used in oncology as an accompanying measure - usually with the aim of supporting symptoms (e.g. appetite, sleep, exhaustion, general well-being). At the same time, as soon as cancer therapies, blood values and medication are involved, „harmless“ quickly becomesContinue reading

What is plausible, what is scientifically proven? The gut is no longer just a „digestive tube“, but a central communication space between nutrition, the microbiome and the immune system. At the same time, interest in medicinal mushrooms (e.g. reishi, maitake, trametes) is booming. The exciting question is: do fungal polysaccharides change the microbiome in such a way that it can be used in theContinue reading
