Newest firstIntroduction and aim Assessment of antitumor activity in preclinical models remains challenging when relying solely on conventional size-based imaging, particularly for complex agents such as cannabinoids, whose biological effects may not translate into early volumetric tumor changes. Cannabinoid formulations, including the synthetic cannabinoid JWH-182, Cannabixir® Medium dried flowers, and Cannabixir® THC full e…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Opioids are the mainstay of cancer-related pain management but are limited by adverse effects and clinical complexity. Cannabinoids have been proposed as adjunctive, opioid-sparing agents, yet their impact on opioid consumption in cancer patients remains uncertain. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD4202511759…
Introduction Cannabinoids hold promise in oncology for symptom relief and antitumor effects, though concerns about safety and efficacy persist. This study assessed the impact of JWH-182 and phytocannabinoids NC1 - Cannabixir® Medium dried flowers and NC2 - Cannabixir® THC full extract, in a murine breast cancer model with paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Methods Female BALB/c mice with breast tumor…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a shared burden for 68.1% of oncological patients undergoing chemotherapy with Paclitaxel (PTX). The symptoms are intense and troublesome, patients reporting paresthesia, loss of sensation, and dysesthetic pain. While current medications focus on decreasing the symptom intensity, often ineffective, no medication is yet recommended by the guidelines…
Cannabis enjoyed a "golden age" as a medicinal product in the late 19th, early 20th century, but the increased risk of overdose and abuse led to its criminalization. However, the 21st century have witnessed a resurgence of interest and a large body of literature regarding the benefits of cannabinoids have emerged. As legalization and decriminalization have spread around the world, cancer patients are increasingly…
Open article record in new tab ↗The most important discoveries in pharmacology, such as certain classes of analgesics or chemotherapeutics, started from natural extracts which have been found to have effects in traditional medicine. Cannabis, traditionally used in Asia for the treatment of pain, nausea, spasms, sleep, depression, and low appetite, is still a good candidate for the development of new compounds. If initially all attention was dire…
Cannabis has been used in pain management since 2900 BC. In the 20th century, synthetic cannabinoids began to emerge, thus opening the way for improved efficacy. The search for new forms of synthetic cannabinoids continues and, as such, the aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive tool for the research and development of this promising class of drugs. Methods for the in vitro assessment of cytotoxic, mutag…
