Endocannabinoids as Guardians of Metastasis
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Endocannabinoids including anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol are involved in cancer pathophysiology in several ways, including tumor growth and progression, peritumoral inflammation, nausea and cancer pain. Recently we showed that the endocannabinoid
