“October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but are you aware of the efficacy of cannabis in treating breast cancer symptoms? There’s even research that suggests cannabis can reverse the progress of the disease itself.” http://cannabistoday.bangordailynews.com/2017/10/01/breast-cancer/cannabis-and-breast-cancer-its-not-just-palliative/
“… not only as palliative but also as curative drugs.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19285265
“Anticancer mechanisms of cannabinoids. Preparations of Cannabis sativa L. (marijuana) have been used for many centuries both medicinally and recreationally. Specifically, cannabinoids are well known to exert palliative effects in cancer patients. Their best-established use is the inhibition of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Cannabinoids also inhibit pain. Therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in oncology might not be restricted to their aforementioned palliative actions. In addition to the well-known palliative effects of cannabinoids on some cancer-associated symptoms, a large body of evidence shows that these molecules can decrease tumour growth in animal models of cancer. In addition, cannabinoids inhibit angiogenesis and decrease metastasis in various tumour types in laboratory animals. Thus, numerous studies have provided evidence that thc and other cannabinoids exhibit antitumour effects in a wide array of animal models of cancer.” https://

“First commercialized in the 1950s, parabens are a group of synthetic compounds commonly used as preservatives in a wide range of health, beauty and personal care products. If the product you are using contains methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben and isobutylparaben, it has parabens. These ingredients are added to deodorants, toothpastes, shampoos, conditioners, body lotions and makeups, among other products, to stop the growth of fungus, bacteria and other potentially damaging microbes. Researchers have also found that some 90 percent of typical grocery items contain measurable amounts of parabens, which is why even those who steer clear of potentially harmful personal care products also carry parabens around in their bloodstreams.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/should-people-be-concerned-about-parabens-in-beauty-products/

A lifestyle factor used near the breast is the application of antiperspirants/deodorants accompanied by axillary shaving. This is the first study to investigate the intensity of underarm exposure in a cohort of breast cancer survivors. In conclusion, underarm shaving with antiperspirant/deodorant use may play a role in breast cancer.” http://journals.lww.com/eurjcancerprev/pages/articleviewer.aspx?year=2003&issue=12000&article=00006&type=abstract

It has been shown that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana and their derivatives, inhibit cell cycle progression of human breast cancer cells. Here we studied the mechanism of Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) antiproliferative action in these cells, and show that it involves the modulation of JunD, a member of the AP-1 transcription factor family. THC activates JunD. This is the first report showing not only that cannabinoids regulate JunD but, more generally, that JunD activation reduces the proliferation of cancer cells, which points to a new target to inhibit breast cancer progression.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18454173
“Cannabinoids reduce ErbB2-driven breast cancer progression through Akt inhibition. The therapeutic potential of cannabinoids, the active compounds of marijuana and their derivatives, has been known for centuries. During the last decade, evidence has accumulated suggesting that cannabinoids might be useful for the treatment of cancer. These compounds exert anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-invasive effects in different cell-culture and animal models of cancer. Here, we used a genetically engineered animal model of ErbB2-driven metastatic breast cancer (the MMTV-neu mouse) to analyze the antitumoral potential of cannabinoids in this particularly aggressive pathology. Results presented herein (i) show that ErbB2-positive invasive human breast tumors express CB2 receptors, (ii) demonstrate that Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and the non-psychotropic CB2 cannabinoid receptor agonist JWH-133 significantly reduce tumor progression in a clinically relevant model of ErbB2-positive metastatic breast cancer, and (iii) shed light on the mechanism of cannabinoid antitumoral action in vivo. Taken together, these results provide a strong preclinical evidence for the use of cannabinoid-based therapies for the management of ErbB2-positive breast cancer.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2917429/
“Cannabis sativa Extract Reduces Cytoskeletal Associated Proteins in Breast Cancer Cell Line. Previous studies suggested that Cannabis sativa has anti-cancer properties influencing tumor size and metastasis properties. According to evidence, THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), a natural component from C. Sativa, had antiangiogenic and antiproliferative effects. The aim of this study is to explore the action of C. sativa on tau and stathmin gene existing in breast cancer cell. Conclusions: C. sativa extract dose-dependently influences tau and stathmin relative gene expressions, which may reduce cancer metastasis.” http://ijcancerprevention.com/en/articles/5474.html
“Antitumor Activity of Plant Cannabinoids with Emphasis on the Effect of Cannabidiol on Human Breast Carcinoma. The therapeutic properties of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa, have been known since antiquity. Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exhibits antitumor effects on various cancer cell types. The aim of this study was to identify natural cannabinoids with antitumor activities at least similar to those of THC and devoid of the potential central effects of this compound. We found that, surprisingly, cannabidiol acted as a more potent inhibitor of cancer cell growth than THC and that cannabigerol and cannabichromene usually followed cannabidiol in the rank of potency. In conclusion, our data indicate that cannabidiol, and possibly Cannabis extracts enriched in this natural cannabinoid, represent a promising nonpsychoactive antineoplastic strategy. In particular, for a highly malignant human breast carcinoma cell line, we have shown here that cannabidiol and a cannabidiol-rich extract counteract cell growth both in vivo and in vitro as well as tumor metastasis in vivo.” http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/318/3/1375.long
“Marijuana Compound May Stop Breast Cancer From Spreading, Study Says. A compound found in cannabis may stop breast cancer from spreading throughout the body, according to a study by scientists at California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute. The researchers are hopeful that the compound called CBD, which is found in cannabis sativa, could be a non-toxic alternative to chemotherapy.” http://www.foxnews.com/story/2007/11/19/marijuana-compound-may-stop-breast-cancer-from-spreading-study-says.html
“Cannabidiol as a novel inhibitor of Id-1 gene expression in aggressive breast cancer cells. The helix-loop-helix protein Id-1, plays a crucial role during breast cancer progression. Reducing Id-1 expression could provide a rational therapeutic strategy for the treatment of aggressive human breast cancers. Cannabinoid agonists working through CB1 and CB2 receptors have been shown to act as tumor inhibitors in a variety of cancer models. In addition to Δ9-THC, CBD is also present in significant quantities in Cannabis sativa. Plant cannabinoids are stable compounds with low-toxicity profiles that are well tolerated by animals and humans during chronic administration. Our data presented here show that CBD represents the first exogenous agent that can down-regulate Id-1 expression in aggressive hormone-independent breast cancer cells. CBD represents the first nontoxic exogenous agent that can significantly decrease Id-1 expression in metastatic breast cancer cells leading to the down-regulation of tumor aggressiveness. Cannabinoids Reduce the Growth of Aggressive Human Breast Cancer Cells.” http://mct.aacrjournals.org/content/6/11/2921.full

We discovered that CBD was the first non-toxic plant-based agent that could down-regulate Id-1 expression in aggressive hormone-independent breast cancer cells. CBD has also been shown to inhibit breast cancer metastasis. Our data demonstrate the efficacy of CBD in pre-clinical models of breast cancer. The results have the potential to lead to the development of novel non-toxic compounds for the treatment of breast cancer metastasis. Treatment with CBD leads to the inhibition of Id-1 gene expression, proliferation, and invasion in mouse mammary cancer cells, and a reduction of primary tumor volume and number of metastatic foci in vivo. CBD, therefore, represents a potential non-toxic exogenous agent for the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3410650/

“Cannabidiol Induces Programmed Cell Death in Breast Cancer Cells by Coordinating the Cross-talk between Apoptosis and Autophagy. Cannabidiol (CBD), a major nonpsychoactive constituent of cannabis, is considered an antineoplastic agent on the basis of its in vitro and in vivo activity against tumor cells. We found that CBD induced both apoptosis and autophagy in breast cancer cells. Characterizing more precisely the manner by which CBD kills breast cancer cells will help define the optimal applications of CBD as a cancer therapeutic. In summary, we showed that CBD, a plant-derived cannabinoid, preferentially kills breast cancer cells by inducing ER stress, inhibiting mTOR signaling, enhancing ROS generation, and mediating a complex balance between autophagy and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. These findings support the continued exploration of CBD as an alternative agent for breast cancer treatment.” http://mct.aacrjournals.org/content/10/7/1161.long

Cannabidiol (CBD), a major non-psychotropic constituent of fiber-type cannabis plant, has been reported to possess anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells. CBD is obtained from non-enzymatic decarboxylation of its parent molecule, cannabidiolic acid (CBDA). The data presented in this report suggest for the first time that as an active component in the cannabis plant, CBDA offers potential therapeutic modality in the abrogation of cancer cell migration, including aggressive breast cancers. CBDA is an inhibitor of highly aggressive human breast cancer cell migration.

In the present study, we analyzed the effects of synthetic nonpyschoactive cannabinoids on breast cancer growth and metastasis, and show that cannabinoid receptor agonists inhibit breast cancer cell growth and metastasis in vivo. We have shown that the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 are overexpressed in primary human breast tumors compared with normal breast tissue. Synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists inhibit tumor growth and metastasis of breast cancer. These results indicate that CB1 and CB2 receptors could be used to develop novel therapeutic strategies against breast cancer growth and metastasis.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4128286/
“Phyto-, endo- and synthetic cannabinoids: promising chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of breast and prostate carcinomas. Cannabinoids are classified in three groups: phytocannabinoids, endocannabinoids, and the synthetic analogues of both groups. They have become a promising tool in the treatment of cancer disease, not only as palliative agents, but also as antitumor drugs, due to their ability to inhibit the proliferation, adhesion, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of tumour cells. Two of the cancers where they have shown high anticancer activity are breast and prostate tumours. The aim of this review is to evaluate the promising chemotherapeutic utility of phytocannabinoids, endocannabinoids, and synthetic cannabinoids in breast and prostate cancer. Cannabinoids may be promising tools in combination therapy for breast and prostate cancer, due to their direct antitumor effects, their ability to improve the efficacy of conventional antitumor drugs and their usefulness as palliative treatment.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27633508

Thus, these compounds exert anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-migratory and anti-invasive actions in a wide spectrum of cancer cells in culture. Moreover, tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis are hampered by cannabinoids in xenograft-based and genetically-engineered mouse models of cancer. This review summarizes our current knowledge on the anti-tumor potential of cannabinoids in breast cancer, which suggests that cannabinoid-based medicines may be useful for the treatment of most breast tumor subtypes.”
