Evidence not advocacy

Rather than advocating for a particular treatment approach, this session provides clinicians with a structured review of the available data, helping them understand what is known, what remains uncertain, and where important limitations exist within the current evidence base.

Who Is This Session For?

This session is designed for healthcare professionals seeking a clearer understanding of the evidence surrounding cannabis and cannabinoid medicines in the context of brain cancer and its treatment.

Relevance for Clinicians

It is particularly relevant to clinicians who encounter patients already using, considering, or asking about cannabinoid therapies and who want to approach these conversations with an informed understanding of the available clinical evidence.
