Cannabinoids from Cannabis and Programmed Cell Death of Cancer Cell
Keywords:
Cancer cell, Endocannabinoid system, Phytocannabinoid, ApoptosisAbstract
Cancer is currently the number one cause of death in humans. It can be found in everyone, all sexes and ages, and in every organ of the body. The main goal of cancer treatment is to eliminate cancer cells from the body as possible by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
This academic article presents information from various research reports about the endocannabinoid system in the body and phytocannabinoid compounds from cannabis which promote the immune system to effectively detect and force cancer cell to die by program cell death (Apoptosis). This is the control of the proliferation of cancer cells at an early stage and may be a method for prevention and treatment of cancer in combination with current therapy to be more effective to lead to a reduction in the number of patients and deaths from cancer in the future.
