Abstract
Approximately 20% of Americans will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, with many facing intense therapy regimens that often yield poor outcomes. This paper aims to explore when and how to use Mebendazole—a commonly prescribed antihelmintic—as a repurposed anti-tumoral adjunct treatment in chemotherapy regimens, specifically; ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and brain cancer.
