In vitro, wait for actual clinical trials.

>Our results indicate that cannabinoids can reduce human bladder transitional cell carcinoma cell viability, and that they can potentially exert synergistic effects when combined with other agents. Our in vitro results will form the basis for future studies in vivo and in clinical trials for the development of new therapies that could be beneficial for the treatment of bladder cancer in the future.

I guess my plan of constantly smoking weed and masturbating isn't the bladder and prostate cancer cure-all I hoped it'd be.

I was just about to invent the catheterannabis, the cannabis catheter. But I guess not now.

No no, don’t be so hasty. Some of us might still have an ‘interest’

It's funny how Redditors are skeptical about any new cancer research unless it involves marijuana.

My dad had Bladder cancer a bit more than a decade ago. I think he was around 58 at the time he found out. He'd been a daily smoker of cigarettes for most of his life (had quit around 5 years prior) but also a daily toker. His doctors told him he was fine to keep smoking, and actually encouraged it for several reasons (appetite being the main one). Thankfully it never got out of hand, and weirdly they used localized TB to treat it.

Not going to read the article. I'm just going to assume I'm cancer proof. Thanks science!

Then I guess it's a good job they're constantly coursing through my bloodstream.

Can someone tell me if this means they found a link between cannabinoids and bladder cancer or they found a link between cannabinoids and no bladder cancer

As someone with stage IV bladder cancer, this is encouraging.

Yes, this is certainly encouraging news! It would be interesting to find out more about how large of a reduction we are talking here, as well as the further implications of this type of therapy for bladder cancer treatment.
