In 2017 there was an estimated 12,820 women in the U.S. diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer kills approximately 250,000 women every year in the Sub-Saharan Africa region.
Did you know? It is the most lethal cancer amongst black women!
The study, conducted by Lesetja R. Motadi and Sindiswa T. Lukhele of North-West University in South Africa, utilized in vitro analysis techniques to compare the anti-proliferative effects of cannabis sativa extract and one of its main cannabinoids — CBD — on human cervical cancer cells.
The investigators found that the killing of cancer cells, through a process called apoptosis, was induced by CBD.
Additionally, CBD, even at lower concentrations, was found to be more effective in inducing apoptosis than any other cannabis cannabinoid.
