Study Finds CBDTHC Combination Kills Ovarian Cancer Cells in Lab

The peer-reviewed findings are confined to lab-grown cells pending animal studies.

Overview

  • The 1:1 CBD:THC mix produced the strongest effect, synergistically inducing cancer cell death and sharply reducing growth.
  • The combination curtailed ovarian cancer cell migration, pointing to potential anti-metastatic activity in early assays.
  • Both a platinum-sensitive and a platinum-resistant cell line responded, suggesting applicability across treatment profiles.
  • Healthy cells were largely spared in the experiments, indicating selective toxicity compared with many current therapies.
  • Mechanistic analyses tied the effects to PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibition with PTEN activity restored, and the authors call for in vivo and pharmacokinetic studies before clinical testing.
