As someone who's taken several graduate-level oncology courses (I'm a radiological engineer, today), I am not aware of any mechanism by which cannabis targets any type of cancer. We know how radiotherapy and chemo work: they target and destroy specific cells with the hope, amongst other things, that the cancer cell's multiplication process can be disrupted such that the RNA sequencing reverts back to what it should be and no longer be cancerous. It's a gamble but it is actually effective by using cancer's own strength against itself (frequently reproducing cells are vulnerable to radiation). While I'm not a doctor, passing up these treatments is foolish.

While you're referring to the oil, I'd actually argue that heavy smoking of cannabis can actually cause cancer, much like cigarettes does - via coating of the alveoli with radioactive elements normally found in soil. What's next, are you going to claim that smoking cures lung cancer? I mean, it could, but it's more likely to cause cancer than fix it.... My point is that any success is likely coincidental - it's unusual but cancer can go into remission on its own.
