Medical cannabis shows potential to fight cancer

As someone navigating the complexities of cancer - whether as a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional - you’ve likely come across the growing interest in medical cannabis.

Once regarded primarily as a means to ease chemotherapy-induced nausea and chronic pain, cannabis is now being seriously explored for its potential to interact directly with cancer biology.

Scientists are delving into how cannabinoids - the active compounds found in the cannabis plant - might inhibit tumor growth, disrupt cancer cell communication, and even trigger cancer cell death.
