Cannabis As Treatment For Non-Hodgins Lymphoma

Cannabis as Treatment for Non-Hodgins Lymphoma
Abstract
Background: Cannabis is often seen as taboo or a gateway drug too dangerous, addictive drugs, by physicians, some state officials, and the federal government. But Cannabis has many benefits for treatment and cures of many medical conditions, including the treatment of non-Hodgins Lymphoma. The positive effects of Cannabis are more beneficial and less harmful than typical pharmaceutical treatments. However, some states and the federal government are reluctant to legalize the use of Cannabis for medicinal purposes. Alabama, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Indiana, Nebraska, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Rode Island At least 17 states and the federal government have a negative attitude towards Cannabis and its therapeutic use. The perception of medicinal Cannabis is a significant dilemma. The ten states that have legalized Marijuana for medicinal use have provided sufficient proof that the plant is effective in treating some types of cancer. The drug, however, has some addictive effects and is one of the most abused drugs on the streets of America.
Objectives of the study: This research paper aims to determine the effectiveness of Marijuana in the treatment of non-Hodgins-lymphoma. The study will also seek to determine why other states and the federal government have refused to use Cannabis,Cannabis; a natural substance cheaper than the current treatment procedures used, for in medicinal medical applicationspurposes.
Methodology: This paper will use the a questionnaire to gather data from the oncologist, state legislators, and federal DEA officers and public health professionals. In addition to thisAdditionally, I will discuss specific case studies and previous research studies conducted on the benefits, risks, and economic impact for on the states, patients, and the public. The controversy among lawmakers, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies.
Discussion: As research expands with Cannabis for the treatment/cure for different cancers, the attitudes remain the same in at least 157 states and the federal government. The government has not found developed strategies ways to control the use and has not concluded how to make money for the taxpayers to use it for medical reasons.
Keywords: Cannabis, marijuana, legalization, non-HodgkinsHodgkin, therapy. These key words are based on the subject heading and most of the discussions in the studystudy.
Introduction
Non-Hodgkinn’s Lymphoma is a a quite common type of lLymphoma that is very common in human beings, which contrasts with Hodgkin; the other form of Lymphoma is the Hodgkins. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the immune system of patients. Lymphoma affects the immune system cells that fight germs, bacteria, and other organisms that cause infections to human beings. Lymphoma pPatients diagnosed with lymphoma areis likely to suffer from multiple diseases because cancerous cells compromise the body’s defense immune system. The cells that the lLymphoma targets are in the lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and other vital organsbody parts. Comment by Mena Abdelsayed: No need to capitalize lymphoma. Please fix all over document.
Non-Hodgkin is the most common type of lymphoma cancer. Recent research studies expect aAt least 2.1 % of men and women to suffer from non-Hodgkin in their lifetimes (REFERENCE) and. estimatedAbout that six people die of non-HodgkinsHodgkin Lymphoma annually, . and tThe number may dramatically increase due to the increase rise in the current prevalence of cancer cases in America the USA today (Ekberg et al., 2020). The signs and symptoms of non-HodgkinsHodgkin are swollen lymph nodes in the neck, groin, or axillary regionarmpits. The patient can also experience coughing, fever, shortness of breath, itching, fatigue, and weight loss. However, the disease affects other parts of the body, such as the brain, making it nearlyalmost impossible to treat non-HodgkinsHodgkin Lymphoma.
Compared to other forms of cancers, lLymphoma is treatable. Many patients treated with lymphoma condition fully recover and can live a happy cancer free life after completing the treatment process. One factor that facilitates successful treatment of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is that patients can quickly identify the symptoms of lLymphoma at early stages (Ekberg et al., 2020). Other types of cancers and most life life-claiming diseases today do not show signs and symptoms at early stages; hence, it is a always challengeging to treat them. However, if diagnoses and treatment one does not get addressed the condition early, it isn’tis not easy to manage such a disease. The situation may also open the door for other types of cancers that currently have no cure. Also, the condition that weakens the immune system exposes the patient to additional life-threatening risks.
Treatment of Non-HodgkinsHodgkin Lymphoma
There are a variety of treatment plans for non-Hodgkin’s LLymphoma. The therapies include; cChemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and stem cell transplants.
Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy are the most commonly knownmost known types of treatment for lymphoma cancers. However, the treatment modules have some adverse side effects on the patients. Some of the most common side effects of the two therapies are hair loss and fatigue among patients (Khanji et al., 2018). Persons Patients undergoing either Cchemotherapy or radiation therapy also experience extreme anorexia, weight loss, nausea, and vomiting. The treatment also causes general body weaknesses to the patients making it almost impossible for them to engage in economic activities or enjoy their everyday lives. Seemingly, also, cChemotherapy causes inflammation of the digestive tract; hence food does not remain in the stomach of patients receiving the treatment causing them to vomit cannot keep food down the stomach; they vomit a lot.
