Abstract

The use of cannabinoids has been on the rise for various indications among cancer patients. As cancer patients are commonly afflicted with the burden of pain, patients and providers are regularly seeking alternative therapies to improve their quality of life and lift the burden of pain. We explore the relevant mechanisms, state of the current literature, clinical considerations, and the future of cannabinoids in cancer pain.
