This is an area my sister and I are excited about! From what we've understood, it's important for the oil (you have to eat the oil not smoke it) to have near equal amounts of THC and CBD.
There's a phase 2 trial about to start in Israel testing the effects of cannabinoids on cancer in humans:

Here’s all of the other research I know about.
Breast-cancer specific:
August 2011 research from Dr. Sean McAllister on cannabidiol (CBD) inhibiting the spread of breast cancer.

(More on McAllister and his research here.)
A 2010 study on cannabinoids specifically targeting her2

A February 2006 study found anandamide (a cannabinoid neurotransmitter) inhibited the spread of breast cancer cells.

Specific to other cancers:
