Original Note:
This is a theoretical paper, and not a study conducted in humans. The claim that fenbendazole (a dog dewormer) can cure cancer is not supported by robust scientific evidence in humans. Fenbendazole is an anti-parasitic med used to treat parasitic worm infections in animals. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/feb/20/facebook-posts/no-proof-dog-deworming-drug-fenbendazole-can-cure/ https://www.healthline.com/health/pancreatic-cancer/fenbendazole-for-pancreatic-cancer#summary
