Laboratory research led by scientists at Khon Kaen University indicates that cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), two key cannabis compounds, can slow the growth and spread of ovarian cancer cells in vitro, particularly when used together in a 1:1 ratio, while causing relatively limited damage to healthy cells. The early-stage findings, reported in Frontiers in Pharmacology, suggest a potential avenue for future ovarian cancer treatments but are far from clinical use.
