Cannabinoids Target Ovarian Cancer Cells in Lab, Revealing Multi-Pronged Attack Strategy
KE14 hours ago7 min read3 comments
A new laboratory study reveals that specific cannabis compounds, CBD and THC, work synergistically to powerfully combat ovarian cancer cells. The research demonstrates this combination not only kills cancer cells but also critically inhibits their ability to form new colonies and spread.Mechanistically, the treatment appears to restore a key cellular growth-regulation pathway often disabled in tumors. Significantly, the cannabinoid blend showed high selectivity, causing minimal damage to healthy ovarian cells in the tests—a major advantage over conventional chemotherapy.While promising, the findings are preclinical; researchers emphasize the need for further study to determine optimal dosing and delivery methods before human trials can begin. This work adds to the growing scientific exploration of cannabinoids as potential multi-targeted therapies for various cancers.
