Increasing evidence highlights their potential as modulators of cancer progression specifically through the suppression of tumor cell growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis across multiple tumor models. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms by which natural and synthetic cannabinoids induce regulated cancer cell death. Current evidence demonstrates that cannabinoids regulate multiple forms of cancer cell death, including apoptosis, autophagy-dependent cell death, necroptosis, ferroptosis, and parthanatos. These effects are mediated through complex and interconnected signaling pathways such as TRIB3\/AKT\/mTORC1, PI3K\/AKT\/mTOR, MAPK\/ERK, NF-\u03baB, ERK\/JNK\/p38-MAPK, and ceramide\/Raf1\/ERK\/ROS. In addition to their direct antitumor effects, cannabinoids can enhance the efficacy of conventional anticancer therapies through the coordinated regulation of complementary cell death pathways. They also provide clinically relevant supportive benefits in palliative care, alleviating chemotherapy-induced nausea, cachexia, and mood or sleep disturbances. Collectively, these findings identify cannabinoids as promising anticancer agents and therapeutic adjuvants, predominantly in the preclinical setting. However, significant challenges remain regarding their safety, optimal dosing, formulation, and clinical efficacy. Further mechanistic studies, rigorous preclinical research, and well-designed clinical trials are required to establish the translation of cannabinoid-based therapies into precision oncology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom16091260","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T01:05:26Z","timestamp":1788224726000},"page":"1260","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cannabinoids in Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms of Tumor Cell Death and Translational Opportunities"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8811-4005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alaa A.","family":"El Moghrabi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, American University of Beirut, Beirut 1107-2020, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-0251-8411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Al Khatib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, American University of Beirut, Beirut 1107-2020, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6167-6491","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Israa Ahmad","family":"Cheikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, American University of Beirut, Beirut 1107-2020, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-4305-5276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charbel","family":"Al Hage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, American University of Beirut, Beirut 1107-2020, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3511-338X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dima","family":"Ismail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Pathology, Immunology and Microbiology, American University of Beirut, Beirut 1107-2020, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-2326-8525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariam","family":"Zhour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, American University of Beirut, Beirut 1107-2020, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0508-3465","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philip","family":"Mwesigwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, American University of Beirut, Beirut 1107-2020, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1862-5426","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadine","family":"Darwiche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, American University of Beirut, Beirut 1107-2020, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"229","article-title":"Global cancer statistics 2022: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries","volume":"74","author":"Bray","year":"2024","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
