Article Synopsis
- National studies on cannabis use in cancer patients often overlook the impact of treatment status on symptom management.
- In a survey of 5,523 cancer survivors, those actively receiving treatment were found to have higher rates of cannabis use (9.3%) compared to those not in treatment (6.2%), with many using it for medicinal purposes.
- Pain management is a significant factor, as patients experiencing either controlled or uncontrolled cancer-related pain were more likely to use cannabis, indicating a need for further research on its role in treatment and symptom management.
Cannabis interest and use is increasing in the United States, yet research on its use among cancer patients is limited. Individuals with cancer completed an anonymous cross-sectional questionnaire.
