Want awareness? BE AWARE: “ErbB2-positive breast cancer is characterized by highly aggressive phenotypes and reduced responsiveness to standard therapies…The purpose of this study was to determine whether cannabinoids might constitute a new therapeutic tool for the treatment of ErbB2-positive breast tumors... Cannabinoids reduce ErbB2-driven breast cancer progression... Our results show that Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the most abundant and potent cannabinoid in marijuana... reduces tumor growth, tumor number, and the amount/severity of metastases… cannabinoids inhibit cancer cell proliferation, induce cancer cell apoptosis, and impair tumor angiogenesis... Cannabinoid antitumoral action… these results provide a strong preclinical evidence for the use of cannabinoid-based therapies for the management of ErbB2-positive breast cancer.” molecular-cancer/content/9/1/196 thctotalhealthcare/category/breast-cancer/
