I can tell you, it’s true! Many cancer patients are asking their clinicians for medicinal cannabis – but worryingly, around one in four patients believing it will help in control or cure the cancer, a Victorian study has found.
This study was carried out by a team at the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre and Parkville Integrated Palliative Care Service, lead by Dr Stacey Panozzo, investigated the characteristics and medicinal cannabis requests of 1700 patients with breast, colorectal, melanoma and oesophageal cancer patients attending the three centres over a six month period in 2018-2019.
The study was also featured in this Limbic Oncology article.
