Remember when we reported on the 24th that the National Cancer Institute, U.S. National Institutes of Health, had finally recognized the antitumor properties of Cannabis?:
“The potential benefits of medicinal Cannabis for people living with cancer include antiemetic effects, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and improved sleep. In the practice of integrative oncology, the health care provider may recommend medicinal Cannabis not only for symptom management but also for its possible direct antitumor effect.”
As of today, the NCI reports no such thing. Presently, the amended NCI site states:
“The potential benefits of medicinal Cannabis for people living with cancer include antiemetic effects, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and improved sleep. Though no relevant surveys of practice patterns exist, it appears that physicians caring for cancer patients who prescribe medicinal Cannabis predominantly do so for symptom management.”
Keep abreast at the NCI website here. We await an explanation.
