DOI: 10.1007/s11418-020-01419-4
Abstract: We previously revealed that Choreito, a traditional Kampo medicine, strongly inhibits bladder carcinogenesis promotion. We have also shown that Polyporus sclerotium, which is one of the crude drugs in Choreito, has the strongest bladder carcinogenesis… read more here.
