Medical marijuana can help cancer patients, finds a large meta-analysis

The use of medical cannabis or marijuana for managing cancer-related symptoms such as pain, appetite loss, and nausea has been a topic of debate for years. Research on this subject has been hindered by restrictions due to the classification of cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance. However, a recent study published in Frontiers in Oncology has shed light on the therapeutic potential of medical cannabis in the context of cancer.

This study, which systematically reviewed over 10,000 peer-reviewed research papers, found strong agreement on the benefits of medical cannabis for managing cancer symptoms and even treating the disease itself. Cannabis’s anti-inflammatory properties have shown positive results in symptom management, while its role as an anticarcinogenic agent has also been highlighted.

Cannabis contains cannabinoids, with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) being the most studied. These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates functions like memory, emotions, and pain control, leading to therapeutic effects in cancer treatment and symptom management.

The study brought together a wide range of research, including randomized trials, observational studies, and case reports, to evaluate the therapeutic potential of cannabis. Using AI and natural language processing, researchers analyzed data from thousands of research papers and found overwhelming support for the use of medical cannabis in cancer care.

The sentiment analysis performed in the study revealed that opinions in favor of medical cannabis were over 31 times stronger than those against it. The researchers believe that medical cannabis should be reconsidered as a treatment option in the medical community and could influence future public health research and clinical practice.

The findings of this study could have significant implications for the legal status of medical cannabis and its acceptance as a viable treatment option for cancer patients. With further research and discussion, medical cannabis may become more widely accepted in the medical community for its potential benefits in cancer care.

For more information, you can refer to the study published in Frontiers in Oncology titled “Meta-analysis of medical cannabis outcomes and associations with cancer” by Ryan D. Castle et al. (2025). DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2025.1490621.
