A team of researchers has analyzed more than 10,000 scientific studies using artificial intelligence, discovering that about 75% of publications support the use of therapeutic cannabis not only to relieve cancer symptoms but also for its potential anticancer effect
In recent years, the therapeutic cannabis He was at the center of a heated debate, divided between his medical potential and the social and political stigma that surrounds it. However a new and imposing meta-analysis It could radically change the collective perception of this substance.
Using advanced tools of artificial intelligencethe researchers of the Wholoth Oncology Institute have examined Over 10,000 scientific studies to identify Trends and consent on the use of cannabis in the treatment of cancer.
The result? A surprising 75% of studies analyzed expresses a positive opinion on the therapeutic use of cannabis, not only as a support to relieve nausea, pain And Loss of appetitebut also as possible anticancer agent. This data represents a “shocking level of consent”For such a controversial topic.
In three areas he showed promising results
To make this analysis possible was the application of theComputational analysis of the sentimenta system that evaluates the language of scientific texts to understand if the approach to cannabis is positive, negative or neutral. This technique made it possible to overcome one of the main obstacles to research: the fragmentation of data and the slowness of the approvals due to the classification of cannabis as a substance of Table I in the United States.
Cannabis showed particularly promising results in three areas: Oncological treatments, collateral symptoms And tumor dynamics. In each category, the percentage of favorable studies has far exceeded skeptical ones. In particular, the data indicate that the substances present in cannabis, such as THC And CBDcould have a direct effect on tumor growthpromoting theMobile apoptosis (programmed death of sick cells) and limiting the spread of cancer.
Obviously the research recognizes that the results obtained on animal models or cell phones They cannot be automatically applied to human beings. However the Consistency between the studies And the univocal direction of the results suggest a path to be explored. This new vision based on big data and on theTO THE However, it could offer a turning point in consideration of cannabis at the medical level, finally leading science to prevail over the prejudice.
