Lay abstract We aimed to evaluate the effect of pleuran (ß-glucan from oyster mushroom) on the selected immune parameters of patients with breast cancer in remission. We studied antitumor cellular immune parameters of 195 patients (49 in the pleuran group and 146 in the control group) by means of flow cytometry. After 12 months, we measured a significant increase of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the pleuran group compared with a significant decrease in the control group. Our results suggest potential benefit of long-term administration of pleuran on antitumor cellular immunity and better prognosis in breast cancer patients in remission.
