I noticed a few Animal vets saying that it looked promising when used on dogs, but when Campbell statrted to talk about it I thought it might be well worth listening to, and as you can see by the comments it certainly hasn't done anyone any harm, Except the profits of Pharmaceutical companies.

In England, they did some comparison tests on cancer drugs vs Chaga. The Chaga did about just as good as the cancer drugs in their research. But Chaga does not work on all kinds of cancers. In the research the Chaga actually did better on some cancers than the chemo drugs, but on other kinds of cancer the Chemo did better than Chaga. Overall they both worked better than no treatment, and the Chaga had way less negative side effects.
Other mushrooms have anticancer effects too, but Chaga is stronger. Not the Turkey Tail was not one of the mushrooms tested, but they did do some testing with the oyster mushroom and another few kinds. There are specialized health benefits for different mushrooms. When I read scientific literature every day, I will check out all the ones with health benefits of the mushrooms.
For normal maintenance, not much of the Chaga tea is needed, a tenth of a teaspoon on top of the coffee grounds in my ten cup coffee pot...that is ten six ounce, which is about six ten ounce cups. Which the wife and I drink every morning. I have been doing that when I feel a certain way, about twice a week, and it does seem to help with some issues I get, but I have no clue if it is treating cancer, I did research, and that would be about all you would need as a preventative treatment for most conditions it works on. It seems to work good with the coffee, it helps lower the inflammation in my body pretty much. An eight ounce can lasts about eight months so even at twenty five bucks for that can, it seems to be worth it'
I'm kind of lazy, I could go out and just get one off of an old dead birch heree and make my own. I also know that the Betulinic acid can be made out of the inner bark or the sap of the birch tree by infusing it with alcohol from my studies. Now the chaga mushroom creates a chemistry similar to alcohol to convert the butamate in the tree to that active form. Also, just taking the leaves and sticking them in alcohol will also form that compound, it is easy to pick and dry leaves from a live tree without hurting it. Also, the leaves contain an aspirin like compound, Salacylic acid....not sure if I spelled that wrong. Too much of that could be bad too, so I consider it a medicine for a couple of things, aspirin and a mild anti-cancer medicine.
Here is a link to the bioactive anti-cancer properties of the chaga.. It should be a decently reliable source of information.

The first part kind of leads a person to the conclusion it is folk medicine, but read the rest of the article and check out all the chemistries that help to deter or even put cancer into remission.
Of course, it is not a pancea, but neither are cancer meds that have been developed so far. The damage that chemo drugs do can be bad, cure one problem and cause others to happen.
Also a goitrin in rutabaga can help cancer by causing it to devour itself, and human cells are not effected much from what I read. Rutabaga also contains some other chemistries, one is a growth hormone that helps keep our regular cells from being hurt by the goitrin too much. One of these is heat stable, the other is not and I could not find my notes from which was heat stable but I like scraping the rutabaga with a spoon, it sweetens that way and that sweetness is the growth and repair hormone. A similar chemistry with the same effect is found in pulling the top of rye grass or other grasses out of the sleeve and sucking on it. Also the area right next to the white inside a watermelon has that growth and repair hormone chemistry, it actually is used to sweeten the watermelon when ripening and ready to spread the seeds. When it is activated, by hitting the watermelon on the cement before cutting it, it sweetens the watermelon by converting the chemistry to sugar. There is some in citrus too, but much less, if you roll the orange around before peeling the orange, it sweetens almost instantly too. This is caused by energy entering those fruits, it fuels a reaction to occur almost instantly to convert the sugars. I used to know the actual name of some of these growth and repair hormones, but can't remember it off hand. But I don't think the watermellon will help with cancer, but it can help to repair your muscles if consumed in moderation. Now the real sweet part is allready converted, so there is very little of that hormone in the sweet part left, it is next to the white in the peel...the light pinkish color stuff. The part most people toss away...think about that.
