Cannabis vs glioblastoma

Cannabinoids may someday treat brain tumors by cutting off their blood supply. Cancer cells feed themselves by remodeling the blood vessels around them.

Researchers hope that blocking vascular epithelial growth factor will selectively starve cancer cells without harming normal tissue.[BBC]
