Extracts of maitake mushrooms called the maitake D-fraction (PDF) appear to synergize with vitamin C (VC) in producing an anti-tumor effect. We are currently determining whether there is a tissue- and dose-specific effect of the PDF/VC combination in a controlled murine model. A Phase III trial is being established to determine whether PDF/VC decreases the recurrence and/or progression rate of superficial bladder cancers. The target of PDF/VC appears to be cell cycle regulatory proteins, p21 and p53. We aim to determine whether tumor expression of these two molecules, or the expression of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-III (FGFR-III) predicts responsiveness to PDF/VC.
