I'm not that kind of doctor and I'm extremely not suggesting that people toke up instead of pursuing chemo- or radiotherapy, but there is some evidence that the endocannabinoid system has an effect on a number of diseases including cancer , so who knows, a decade or so of testing from now, we might see a handful of cannabinoids being used in clinical cancer treatments or treatments for other diseases.

Again, to anyone considering skipping their chemo appointment and getting spliffy, don't skip the appointment. This is just an interesting curiosity speculating about the future, not present medical advice.
