The active molecules in cannabis kill brain cancer another study has revealed.
Scientists using an extract of whole-plant marijuana rich in pots main psychoactive ingredient THC as well as cannabidiol (CBD) showed dramatic reductions in tumor volumes of a type of brain cancer.
High-grade glioma is one of the most aggressive cancers in adult humans and long-term survival rates are very low as standard treatments for glioma remain largely unsuccessful, according to researchers Katherine A. Scott, Angus G. Dalgleish, and Wai M. Liu from the Oncology Department at St. Georges University of London.
Writing in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics this month, the team recounts how they decided to build on existing research that shows cannabinoids have been shown to specifically inhibit glioma growth as well as neutralize oncogenic processes such as angiogenesis.
The researchers wanted to boost the success of cannabinoids, so they investigated using THC and CBD both alone and in combination with,.....
