What the guidance says
Some cannabinoid medicines are used for chemotherapy-related nausea. That does not establish cannabis as a cancer treatment.

Cancer care and medical cannabis: FAQs
What cancer care symptoms can be discussed in review?
Patients often discuss nausea, appetite loss, pain, sleep disruption, and treatment side effects. The clinician reviews fit and safety case by case.
Should my oncology team know about cannabis use?
Yes. Tell your oncology team and the reviewing clinician about chemotherapy, immunotherapy, pain medicine, anti-nausea medicine, and supplements.
Can cannabis treat cancer itself?
This pathway is for symptom support review, not cancer treatment or cure claims. Continue oncology care and follow your cancer specialist advice.
What should I prepare for a cancer care PT33 review?
Prepare diagnosis context, treatment stage, current symptoms, medicines, recent side effects, appetite or weight changes, and any clinician letters.
When should cancer symptoms be urgent?
Fever, uncontrolled vomiting, severe dehydration, sudden severe pain, confusion, shortness of breath, or bleeding need urgent medical care.
What does the consultation fee cover?
Consultations start at ฿500 for the practitioner’s assessment and advice. The fee does not guarantee a prescription; the final price depends on the service you choose.
