Could CBD Oil Help Lung Cancer Patients?

In Part 2 of this Hope With Answers series on CBD, Cannabis, and Lung Cancer, we discuss the differences between CBD oil and hemp oil and what’s happening on the CBD clinical trials horizon. Once again, Jacquelyn Bainbridge, a clinical pharmacist at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, joins us to talk about her clinical research, including work on cannabis clinical trials with hopes that CBD could help lung cancer patients.

“CBD potentially, or has a potential, to alter the immune environment and stimulate a response. So where that may be helpful is in patients with non-small cell lung cancer because it seems to be more responsive to immunotherapy. So it might be more likely to help that population.”
