CBD Scores a Knockout Combo: New Research Reveals Cannabis Compound Boosts Cancer Drug Performance Without Playing by the Old Rules

In a landmark May 2025 study from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, researchers uncovered that cannabidiol (CBD) can significantly enhance the cancer-fighting power of etoposide in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). By activating p53-driven autophagic cell death and suppressing key cancer pathways—independent of traditional cannabinoid receptors—CBD emerges as a potent therapeutic ally in the fight against lung cancer.

The Endocannabinoid System as a Target for Cancer Treatment

Recent studies are shedding light on a lesser-known but promising player in cancer biology—the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This complex network of receptors and signaling molecules has been found to influence several key processes within the tumor microenvironment, including cell communication, immune response, inflammation, and even tumor growth itself.
