CBD has the ability to prevent or retard the spread of malignant cells and deprive cancer cells of nutrients
CBD exerts its “anti-proliferative” (to prevent or retard the spread of malignant cells into surrounding tissues) and “anti-angiogenic” (cancer cells deprived of nutrients) and “pro-apoptotic activity through various mechanisms…”

CBD has analgesic, pain relieving, anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic properties, inhibiting or preventing the growth and spread of tumors or malignant cells
According to the National Cancer Institute, CBD “Cannabidiol, a phytocannabinoid derived from Cannabis species, which is devoid of psychoactive activity, with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic” (inhibiting or preventing the growth and spread of tumors or malignant cells) and “chemopreventive activities…”

CBD combined with radiation had greater effect killing tumor cells.
“…results showed greater effective tumor cell killing, when combining CBDs and RT. Meanwhile, in vivo study results revealed major increase in survival when employing smart biomaterials for sustained delivery of CBDs to tumor cells.”

CBD Oil may have significant benefits in treating and preventing cancer and reducing symptoms associated with chemotherapy
“CBD Oil may have significant benefits in treating and preventing cancer as well as aiding in reducing symptoms associated with chemotherapy. Cannabinoids are known to have palliative effects in oncology, including relief of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting, appetite stimulation, pain relief, mood elevation, and sleep in cancer patients.”
According to a 2013 evidence review on CBD and cancer “cannabinoids possess anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects and they are known to interfere with tumor neovascularization, cancer cell migration, adhesion, invasion and metastasization. However the clinical use of ∆ 9 THC and additional cannabinoid agonists is often limited by their unwanted psychoactive side effects, and for this reason interest in non-psychoactive cannabinoid compounds… such as cannabidiol (CBD), has substantially increased in recent years… Using cannabis as a therapy to reduce cancer activity and tumor size does require high doses of cannabis medicine… While both THC and CBD are effective anti-cancer agents, the combination of CBD and THC together has exhibited even greater efficacy for healing. There is a true synergistic relationship between CBD and THC; the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. There is evidence that a combination of the various cannabinoids and terpenes found in products derived from the whole plant is the most effective approach.”

Cannabinoids may inhibit cancer growth, killing cancer cells while protecting normal cells.
“Studies in mice and rats have shown that cannabinoids may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow. Labratory and animal studies have shown that cannabinoids may be able to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.”

CBD activates your body’s ability to detoxify, repair, reduce inflammation and regenerate, promoting destruction of cells that are a threat.
“CBD stimulates endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inhibits AKT/mTOR signaling, thereby activating autophagy” (your body’s ability to detoxify, repair, and regenerate itself, reduces inflammation and slows down the aging process) “and promoting apoptosis” (cells that are no longer needed or are a threat to the organism are destroyed by a cell suicide process known as programmed cell death/apoptosis)

CBD inhibits cell growth, halts cell proliferation, helps the body fight cancer
“Cannabidiol (CBD)… inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in cervical cancer cells…
Results obtained indicate that both cannabidiol and Cannabis sativa extracts were able to halt cell proliferation in all cell lines at varying concentrations.
…in particular cannabidiol, we propose it plays important role in helping the body fight cancer through inhibition of pain and cell growth
