Abstract
I am a head and neck radiation oncologist in a tertiary care practice in Minnesota. I am credentialed in the state of Minnesota to certify patients for medical cannabis. Over the last 6 years, I have certified select patients for medical cannabis as part of management of their cancer-related symptoms and effects of treatment. In this paper, I review my approach to incorporating medical cannabis into the management of patients with head and neck cancer.
