CBD BENEFITS FOR BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

According to the American Cancer Society’s Global Cancer Facts and Figures, there were 7 million new cancer diagnoses and 9.5 million cancer deaths worldwide in 2018. These numbers are predicted to grow to 27.5 million new cancer diagnoses and 16.3 million cancer deaths by 2040. And breast cancer accounts for a large number in this case.

Conventional methods of treating breast cancer do not involve cannabis or cannabis-derived products like CBD oil. The current standard cancer treatment options are radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery with the hopes of reducing or removing breast cancer cells. Cancer researchers and healthcare providers are still searching for new cancer treatments and remedies to help patients cope with the side effects of their current treatments.

The National Cancer Institute published a recent report that marijuana has impressive tumor-fighting properties and can help reduce rates of various types of cancers. Recent research has shown that cannabis can have an impact on breast, liver, colon, lung, and bladder cancer, fighting off the malignant cells while leaving healthy cells undisturbed.

That is where CBD comes in. As a natural health treatment, a complimentary natural option to be used while going through a chemotherapy process that treats breast cancer may reduce the symptoms of pain and inflammation in the body.

CBD Oil for Breast Cancer

CBD is one of the compounds found naturally in the cannabis plant. These compounds are called cannabinoids, and they mimic the structure of the endocannabinoids your own body produces as part of your endocannabinoid system. CBD oil can reduce the side effects associated with treatment and may even be able to kill breast cancer cells.

Research has shown that CBD has been found to inhibit mass growth and decrease the size of breast cancer tumors. In addition, multiple studies have found that CBD oil has a significant impact on the Id-1 gene, which is responsible for cell proliferation, leading to metastasizing cancer. The chemical component of cannabidiol inhibits Id-1 expression, as well as the protein kinase A, which prevents the spread of aggressive cancers to other parts of the body.

CBD for Cancer Symptoms

Living with cancer can be frightening, scary, challenging, and very hard. Between dealing with the emotions of the unknown, mental stress, and the physical pain caused by the treatment, people can quickly feel overwhelmed.

CBD can help manage symptoms caused by breast cancer. It can be used to treat the symptoms as well as side effects of treatment, including attempting to slow the growth and spread of cancer.

  • To reduce pain
  • To prevent nausea and vomit
  • To reduce anxiety and depression
  • To help with the bone density regulation
  • To help with sleeping issues
  • To slow tumor growth
  • To slow tumor spread
  • To stimulate appetite
  • To relieve pain and inflammation

Conclusion

CBD oil has great potential to offer relief for breast cancer patients. In addition, by specifically targeting breast cancer cells, CBD oil can offer direct therapeutic benefits by attacking diseased cells without destroying healthy cells. As more research continues, CBD can be a good form of relief for breast cancer patients. We recommend you talk to your doctor before trying CBD as a complementary alternative for your treatment, as CBD may interact differently with certain medications.
