It is well-established that the uncontrolled cellular growth of cancer is related to its cell cycle process, where cancer cells rapidly divide and spread. Interrupting the cell cycle of cancer cells is one of the hallmarks of cancer treatment, through chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
One of the most exciting and promising areas of current cannabinoid research is the ability of these compounds to control cell survival and death decisions involved in cancer cell cycle. This makes cannabinoids a valid cancer treatment with one unique distinction - cannabinoids discriminate between healthy cells and diseased cancer cells. In this episode of CNT, we review the cell cycle process and why cannabinoids help your body stop cancer cells from even being born.
