Marijuana Drastically Shrinks Aggressive Form Of Brain Cancer, New Study Finds<div>

</div></div> Over the past few years, research has revealed that marijuana can both destroy certain cancer cells and reduce the growth of others. Now, a new study in mice has found that when combined with radiation treatment, cannabis can effectively shrink one of the most aggressive types of brain tumors.



In a paper published Friday in the journal Molecular Cancer Therapies, a team of researchers from St. George's University of London outlined the "dramatic reductions" they observed in high-grade glioma masses, a deadly form of brain cancer, when treated with a combination of radiation and two different marijuana compounds, also known as cannabinoids. In many cases, those tumors shrunk to as low as one-tenth the sizes of those in the control group.



"We've shown that cannabinoids could play a role in treating one of the most aggressive cancers in adults," Dr. Wai Liu, one of the study's lead authors, wrote in an op-ed earlier this week. "The results are promising...it could provide a way of breaking through glioma and saving more lives.".............

Can marijuana be used to cure cancer? Advocates have long claimed that it can, but had to rely on mostly anecdotal evidence. A new study provides some solid scientific ground.



Researchers at St. Georges, University of London, treated laboratory mice with THC and CBD, two active chemicals in cannabis called cannabinoids, paired with radiation therapy. The result, they say, was a drastic reduction in the size of brain tumors.Senior Research Fellow Dr. Wai Liu led the testing.
