#Lung cancer awareness

[nkotbblockparty]

I meant to post this on 11.01.23., but I didn’t have the chance to do so. November is Lung Cancer Awareness month, and as always, I wanted to post a picture of the guys in white in honor of those who are fighting or lost their lives to lung cancer (including my late Grandma, late Aunt, and especially my late Daddy). ❤️

Dissecting the Cannabis Connection: How Endocannabinoids Impact Lung Cancer Dynamics

Lung Cancer Awareness Day 1 August

Introduction

Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, accounting for a significant number of cancer-related deaths. In recent years, research has focused on understanding the various factors that contribute to the development and progression of lung cancer. One area of interest has been the role of endocannabinoids, which are naturally occurring compounds in the human body that interact with the endocannabinoid system. This article aims to explore the potential role of endocannabinoids in regulating lung cancer without delving into the medical uses of cannabidiol (CBD).

The Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling system that plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the body. It is involved in various physiological processes, such as mood regulation, immune response, pain perception, and appetite control. The ECS comprises three main components: endocannabinoids, receptors, and enzymes.

Endocannabinoids are lipid-based neurotransmitters that are produced naturally in the body. The two primary endocannabinoids are anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). These molecules bind to specific receptors, known as cannabinoid receptors, found on the surface of cells throughout the body. There are two main types of cannabinoid receptors: CB1, which is primarily found in the brain and central nervous system, and CB2, which is more prevalent in the immune system and peripheral tissues.

Enzymes are responsible for breaking down endocannabinoids once they have fulfilled their purpose. The two main enzymes involved in this process are fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), which breaks down anandamide, and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), which degrades 2-AG.

Endocannabinoids and Lung Cancer

Several studies have investigated the role of endocannabinoids in lung cancer, focusing on their potential to regulate tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Here are some key findings from these studies:

1. Inhibition of tumor growth: Research has shown that certain endocannabinoids can inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells. For example, anandamide has been found to suppress the growth of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells by inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death). This effect is thought to be mediated through the activation of CB1 receptors.

2. Regulation of metastasis: Metastasis, or the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body, is a significant factor in the progression of lung cancer. Some studies have suggested that endocannabinoids can help regulate this process. For instance, 2-AG has been shown to inhibit the migration of NSCLC cells by modulating the activity of certain enzymes involved in cell adhesion and invasion.

3. Modulation of angiogenesis: Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is essential for tumor growth and metastasis. Endocannabinoids have been found to influence angiogenesis in lung cancer. Anandamide, for example, has been shown to reduce the production of pro-angiogenic factors in NSCLC cells, thereby inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels.

Conclusion

While the research on endocannabinoids and lung cancer is still in its early stages, these findings suggest that endocannabinoids may play a crucial role in regulating various aspects of lung cancer, including tumour growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying these effects and to explore the potential therapeutic applications of targeting the endocannabinoid system in lung cancer treatment.

i hate smokers or vapers. at least have the human decency to step away from me when you start suckling on that cancer pipe and don't mindlessly force everyone at the same bus stop to inhale your stupid toxins.

as if people never speak up and tell them to get away from them with their fucking smoke? like if you start smoking you don't have to take the seat next to me. You can bear to stand a few feet away until you're finished. I hate how socially accepted this is.

I want to have healthy lungs and your choice to ruin your health shouldn't affect me at all.

Passive smoking is real.

my most controversial take is if you take money from aramco -- the largest oil company in the world, the single biggest driver of the climate crisis, source of over 4% of global carbon emissions since 1965 -- you just don't get to call yrself an environmentalist

يأتي سرطان الرئتين في المرتبة الأولى بين السرطانات التي تنشأ عند الرجال وهي في التصنيف الثاني عند النساء. هناك عوامل مختلفة يجعل الشخص مصاب بسرطان الرئة، لكن الأهم منها هو التدخين. التعرض للأسبستوس والمواد الكيميائية الجسيمات وغاز الرادون هي من بين العوامل البيئية التي تسبب الاصابة بسرطان الرئة. الى جانب هذه، التاريخ المرضي للرئتين مثل مرض الدرن (السُّل) والربو القصبي والأمراض المزمنة في الرئتين يجعل خطر الاصابة بسرطان الرئة أعلى. يمكنكم التواصل معنا لتلقي الاستشارة الطبية وبدء رحلة العلاج معنا.
