October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In honor of those who are fighting, who have survived, and those who have lost their battle with breast cancer.
With medical cannabis becoming more mainstream throughout the country. Many patients are turning to Medical Cannabis for relief. Actress Olivia Newton-John was in the news with the announcement that she has been diagnosed with cancer for the third time. This time she said she is using cannabis oil to help ease the pain.
Although research about the effect of cannabis on cancer cells is limited. Due to federal restrictions. A team of researchers in Spain in 2010 analyzed the effect of THC and CBD in Her2-positive tumors. HER2-positive breast cancer is a very aggressive form of breast cancer. They found that these cannabinoids may help treat cancer by inhibiting cell production and growth. According to the study, 91% of HER2-positive tumors actively express CB2 receptors. THC and CBD both interact with CB2 receptors. Which could explain how they interact with breast cancer. Despite limited research, many patients are turning to medical cannabis to treat the negative side effects of cancer treatments.
