Description of Lung Cancer
Historically, lung cancer was a rare diagnosis until it emerged as a major killer with the advent of the industrial revolution, the introduction of cigarettes (tobacco smoke and second-hand smoke are recognized as the major cause for developing lung cancer), increasing levels of air pollution (e.g., exhaust, asbestos, coal dust, soot), and the cumulative damage of ionizing radiation (x-rays). Lung cancer is now the number-one cancer and leading fatal cancer in the world; some types are highly aggressive and resistant to allopathic treatments. Diagnosis consists of chest x-rays and biopsies, and treatment is limited to chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery.
Disease Classification
Condition: Lung Cancer
Disease Family: Cancer
Organ System: Respiratory System
ICD-10 Chapter: Neoplasms
ICD-10 Code: C34
Lung Cancer Symptoms:
Chronic cough, shortness of breath, hemoptysis, chest pain, unexpected weight loss
Also known as:
Cancer of the Bronchus
Drug Interactions
THC Interaction with Pharmaceutical Drugs
- THC can enhance the effects of drugs that cause sedation and depress the central nervous system, such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and alcohol, for example.
- THC is metabolized by and an inhibitor of a number of enzymatic liver pathways referred to as cytochrome P450. There are more than 50 enzymes belonging to this enzyme family, a number of which are responsible for the breakdown of common drugs such as antidepressants (e.g. amitriptyline, doxepine, fluvoxamine), antipsychotics (haloperidol, clozapine, stelazine), or beta-blockers (propranolol, theophylline, warfarin). Thus patients taking these classes of medication may find that THC increases the concentration and effects of these drugs as well as the duration of their effects.
- Clinical observation suggests no likely interactions with other pharmaceuticals at a total daily dose of up to 20mg THC.
CBD Interaction with Pharmaceutical Drugs
- CBD may alter action on metabolic enzymes (certain drug-transport mechanisms), and as such may alter interactions with other drugs, some of which may produce therapeutic or adverse effects. For instance, CBD interacts with the enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4 and cytochrome P450 2C19, increasing the bioavailability of anti-epileptic drugs such as clobazam (a benzodiazepine). This makes it possible to achieve the same results at significantly lower dosages, reducing treatment costs and risks of adverse effects.
- Groups of drugs affected include: anti-epileptic drugs, psychiatric drugs, and drugs affecting metabolic enzymes, for example.
- Clinical observations suggest no likely interactions with other pharmaceuticals at a total daily dose of up to 100mg CBD
Dosing Considerations
THC Dosage Considerations
- THC micro dose: 0.1 mg to 0.4 mg (0.001mg/kg to 0.005mg/kg)
- THC low dose: 0.5 mg to 5 mg (0.006mg/kg to 0.06mg/kg)
- THC medium dose: 6 mg to 20 mg (0.08mg/kg to 0.27mg/kg)
- THC high dose: 21 mg to 50+ mg (0.28mg/kg to 0.67mg/kg)
Formula for converting a set dose into mg/kg considerations: mg ÷ kg = mg/kg
(sample conversion calculated on a person weighing 75kg)
CBD Dosage Considerations
- CBD low dose: 0.4 mg to 19 mg (0.005mg/kg to 0.25mg/kg)
- CBD medium dose: 20 mg to 99 mg (0.26mg/kg to 1.32mg/kg)
- CBD high dose: 100 mg to 800+ mg (1.33mg/kg to 10.7mg/kg)
- (upper limits tested ~1,500mg)
Formula for converting a set dose into mg/kg considerations: mg ÷ kg = mg/kg
(sample conversion calculated on a person weighing 75kg)
