A team from Khon Kaen University tested cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on human ovarian cancer cell lines, both separately and in combination.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.insideprecisionmedicine.com\/topics\/oncology\/cannabinoids-halt-ovarian-cancer-growth-via-cell-cycle-pathway\/\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1:1 CBD:THC mix killed a large share of cancer cells while largely sparing healthy cells, suggesting a potentially safer therapeutic window than many current drugs, which can be both toxic and only modestly effective. Mechanistic analysis showed the combination dampened the PI3K\/AKT\/mTOR signaling pathway, a key driver of ovarian tumor growth and survival, and appeared to restore activity of tumor-suppressor proteins.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/journals\/pharmacology\/articles\/10.3389\/fphar.2025.1693129\/full\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings remain strictly preliminary and are limited to in vitro experiments, but scientists say they lay important groundwork for future cannabis-based ovarian cancer treatments. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/latest\/1384927-groundbreaking-preliminary-medicine-for-ovarian-cancer-comes-to-light\">Read the original report at The News International<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers in Thailand are reporting encouraging early results from laboratory studies using cannabis-derived compounds against ovarian cancer cells.
