Misleading. This is a not a study conducted in humans proving efficacy. Fenbendazole is an antiparasitic medication primarily used to treat worms in animals. There is currently no conclusive scientific evidence to support its use as a cancer treatment in humans. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/feb/20/facebook-posts/no-proof-dog-deworming-drug-fenbendazole-can-cure/ https://www.logicallyfacts.com/en/fact-check/false-no-evidence-to-prove-animal-deworming-drug-fenbendazole-can-cure-cancer https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.33DM73U https://fullfact.org/health/fenbendazole-no-evidence-cancer-cure/ https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/lack-clinical-evidence-dog-dewormer-fenbendazole-cures-cancer/
