The use of cannabis in chronic pain has not been proven. Raw cannabis is not medicine, but components of the plant may have medicinal value, just like many chemotherapeutic agents which have met the muster of scientific rigor. Looking forward to this

Here's the latest from the Community & Cancer Science Network (CCSN).

Behind today’s shocking data are thousands of real people whose entire worlds have been turned upside down by cancer. Helping people with cancer live longer is important but so is the quality of their lives. They shouldn’t have to spend their days worrying about delays to their treatment or how they’ll be able to afford the petrol or bus fare they need to get to their next appointment; cancer is enough to have to deal with. It’s clear that cancer care is at breaking point but this is a political choice and better is possible. Cancer has led the way in changing the healthcare system for the better before, with Macmillan driving the creation of Cancer Nurse Specialists to ensure patients are treated by professionals with the right skills and expertise, and by developing groundbreaking digital assessments to ensure every person diagnosed has the best chance of receiving the care and support they need. It’s time to lead the way once again. Together, with politicians and partners, we can transform cancer care for a more hopeful future for people with cancer and the people who support them. We urgently need the next UK government to prioritise a funded, long-term cross-government strategy that revolutionises cancer care and ensures everyone with cancer has access to the care they need, every step of the way.

Some brilliant stories here

"Between 1989 and 1993, inclusion of women in clinical research was NIH policy, but it was not law. In 1993, Congress wrote the NIH inclusion policy into Federal law through a section in the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-43) titled Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical Research. 10  The law includes various requirements for NIH-funded research, including the following: *NIH ensures that women and minorities are included in all clinical research. *In trials including women and minorities, the trial should be designed and carried out so that it is possible to analyze whether the variables being studied affect women and minorities differently than other participants. *Cost is not an acceptable reason for excluding women and minorities. *NIH initiates programs and support for outreach efforts to recruit and retain women and minorities and their subpopulations as volunteers in clinical studies." - NIH I was already 20 when women were just starting to be considered for clinical trials...! We (Stack ) are getting there; training and upskilling the future of the clinical research workforce. https://bit.ly/4dPBY56 #womenshealth #clinicalresearch #diversity #workforcedevelopment
