U.S. study tests psilocybin to fight cancer side effects
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A new research study in the United States is evaluating the use of psilocybin to help cancer patients cope with psychological side effects. Researchers caution that the substance can intensify emotional states, potentially leading to increased stress and anxiety if not properly monitored in a clinical setting.
