"Cannabis Extract Shows Promise in Treating Melanoma, Study Finds"

A study has found that a cannabis extract, PHEC-66, interacts with receptors on certain melanoma cells, potentially making it useful as an additional treatment for malignant melanoma. The extract was shown to impede the growth of melanoma cells and induce apoptosis, but further research and clinical trials are needed to fully understand its potential and effectiveness. Melanoma represents a small percentage of skin cancers but is responsible for the majority of skin cancer-related deaths.

Study: Cannabis Shows Promise in Treating Melanoma

A study found that a cannabis extract has a "deadly" effect on melanoma skin cancer cells in a laboratory setting, forcing the cells into programmed cell death known as apoptosis. The extract from Cannabis sativa showed anti-cancer effects by attaching to cell receptors and manipulating normal cell growth. Before human trials, animal trials will be conducted to ensure safety and effectiveness, with a focus on finding a way to deliver the extract directly to target cells, possibly through a topical or subcutaneous method.

Cannabis Extract Induces Melanoma Cell Death

A concentrated cannabis extract known as PHEC-66 has shown potential to induce programmed cell death in melanoma cells, offering a new avenue for treating the deadly skin cancer. Developed by MGC Pharmaceuticals in Australia, the extract has demonstrated the ability to halt cell proliferation and elevate reactive oxygen species levels in melanoma cells. While promising, further research in living animal models and clinical trials in humans are needed to validate these findings and determine the appropriate dosage and application of the extract. This study adds to a growing body of research on the potential of cannabis compounds in fighting various types of cancer, highlighting the need for continued investigation into their medicinal properties.
