Summary

This study looked at whether head and neck cancer patients would use medical cannabis to help manage side effects during chemoradiation. Thirty patients were followed to see how many signed up for and obtained medical cannabis. The goal was to understand if cannabis could be a practical part of supportive care, not to test if it treats the cancer itself.
