Cannabinoids: A new hope for breast cancer therapy?

“Experimental evidence accumulated during the last decade supports that cannabinoids, the active components of Cannabis sativa and their derivatives, possess anticancer activity… these compounds exert anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-migratory and anti-invasive actions in a wide spectrum of cancer cells… Moreover, tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis are hampered by cannabinoids… our current knowledge on the anti-tumor potential of cannabinoids in breast cancer… suggests that cannabinoid-based medicines may be useful for the treatment of most breast tumor subtypes.”
