Abstract

Cannabinoids are a class of pharmacologic compounds that offer potential applications as antitumor drugs, based on the ability of some members of this class to limit inflammation, cell proliferation, and cell survival. In particular, emerging evidence suggests that agonists of cannabinoid receptors expressed by tumor cells may offer a novel strategy to treat cancer. Here, we review recent work that raises interest in the development and exploration of potent, nontoxic, and nonhabit forming cannabinoids for cancer therapy. [Cancer Res 2008;68(2):339–42]

    There are four standard cancer treatments: surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy or biological therapy. Clinical trials may be studied as a treatment for cancer to meet certain that suite for different condition. Other people may choose other methods of cancer treatment, which usually is not FDA approved and often outside the United States. When the cancer specialist (Oncologist) diagnosed the cancer, The Oncologist will give you several cancer treatment options . He will recommend the best method based on your type of cancer, stage of cancer, your condition and your age. Ultimately, you are the one who makes decision to choose which treatment you want according to your oncologist’ recommendation.
