Could CBD Supercharge Cancer Treatment? New Study Shows Cannabidiol Boosts Etoposide’s Power to Fight Prostate Cancer Cells!

Findings: Combining CBD with etoposide: Blocked the cell cleanup process (autophagy) and triggered stress responses in cells. Strongly reduced signals that help cancer grow (like androgenic signals and VEGF-A, which helps tumors form blood vessels). Lowered levels of a cancer-promoting gene (c-Myc). Reduced cancer cell movement and spread (EMT). Increased cell death by activating proteins (caspase-3 and PARP-1) that cause cells to die. Reduced cancer cell growth, colony formation, movement, invasion, and 3D tumor growth. Caused cancer cells to age prematurely (senescence). Conclusion:CBD significantly boosts the cancer-fighting effects of etoposide in prostate cancer cells. Source

CBD was given under the tongue (sublingual) to some patients. Results: Patients who got CBD had better health outcomes (like fewer symptoms or faster recovery) compared to those who got the placebo.
