The Cancers For Which Ivermectin Has Been Demonstrated to be Effective

Executive Summary

• Analysis of all the Ivermectin cancer studies demonstrates Ivermectin is effective against a wide variety of different cancers.

Introduction

In a previous article titled How Ivermectin Is Useful for Treating Cancer we covered the evidence for the benefits of Ivermectin (IVM) for cancer.

Which cancers Ivermectin has been proven effective is a constant source of questions. In our view, Ivermectin has the highest benefits, lowest side effects, and lowest cost of all cancer treatments. One reason for this is that Ivermectin has multiple mechanisms by which it works against cancer, as I cover in the article By How Many Different Mechanisms Does Ivermectin Fight Cancer?

Therefore how it works against different cancers is one of the most important questions in oncology. Furthermore, people who take Ivermectin for cancer also get all the other health benefits of this drug that we have enumerated.

This article provides an overview coverage of these specific cancers. You can see our subscription site (if you select that link it will open in a new tab so this page won’t close) which has the most information on Ivermectin and Ivermectin versus cancer.

Which Cancers Has Ivermectin Been Demonstrated in Studies to Be Effective?

Ivermectin has been proven effective for many different types of cancer. However, some cancers have had no studies but are very similar to other cancers that do have studies.

This article began as only listing cancers for which studies have been performed. However, the article has been expanded into reviewing any cancer to list if it either has studies or studies for related cancers.

What About Cancers for Which Ivermectin Has Not Been Tested?

We cover this topic in the article What About Cancers for Which There Are No Ivermectin Studies?

However, as an overview, one can infer effectiveness even when there are no studies due to Ivermectin’s strong history of study effectiveness in other cancers. Several mechanisms by which Ivermectin improves one’s condition versus cancer are related to Ivermectin’s strong influence over the immune system. These immuno-beneficial aspects help regardless of the specific types of cancer.

Something else I observed was that the similar mechanisms by which Ivermectin works against cancer are found in many different studies into different cancer types. What follows is just a brief example of this.

Two Major Areas Where Ivermectin is Proven to Fight Cancer

However, at a high level, two critical and common areas that IVM helps with are the following:

Beneficial Area #1: Ivermectin and Apoptosis

Apostosis is the technical term for programmed cell death. The cells in a body need to respond to chemical messengers, and it is time for cells to die.

Beneficial Area #2: Ivermectin’s Effect on Immunomodulation

Immunomodulation is the calibration of the immune system so that it responds appropriately.

How Ivermectin is Complementary With Conventional Cancer Treatments

IVM not only does not interfere with conventional cancer treatments but there are several treatments; chemotherapy is one example, for which Ivermectin is complementary. I cover this in the topic How Ivermectin Helps Reduce Chemotherapy Drug Resistance in Cancer Cells.

Regardless of this proven effectiveness, cancer centers still do not recommend IVM for their patients going through chemotherapy.

Why Are Anti Parasitic Drugs Effective Against Cancer?

IVM has been pilloried by establishment media and the medical establishment for being anti-parasitic, and therefore, people who use it against covid or cancer are “anti-science.” It is very common for anti-parasitic drugs to be effective against viruses.

Yet, the scientific literature shows that anti-parasitic drugs are often effective against cancer. I cover this in The Mechanism of How Anti-Parasitic Drugs Work to Mitigate Cancer.

False Medical Information Example #1: Vaccines Stopped the Spread

During the COVID epidemic, health authorities constantly issued statements contrary to the scientific literature, and one of these false claims was that the vaccine was effective against covid (stopped the transmission and stopped contraction).

False Medical Information Example #2: Ivermectin is Ineffective Against Covid and is Only for Livestock

Another false claim was that IVM was ineffective against covid as it was not a human medicine but only for horses and other livestock.

What is referred to as “following the science” means ignoring the scientific literature but listening to health authorities, who all have extensive financial conflicts that cause them to follow the money and not the research.

The reality is that the medical establishment routinely ignores research that contradicts their financial conflicts. That is the primary focus of our website: what is true based upon the available studies, not what is most enriching to the top executives or MDs within the medical establishment. If you want to find out what is true — you don’t go to individuals or organizations with extensive financial conflicts of interest. 

The Inability for the Medical Establishment to Engage in Evidence-Based Medicine

This is an evaluation of an article in the British Medical Journal that explains in the context of the massive financial conflicts in the medical establishment that evidence-based medicine is impossible. 

Safety of Taking Ivermectin With Conventional Cancer Treatments

Ivermectin is safe to use with all conventional cancer treatments — including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. Ivermectin has been shown to improve the efficiency by which chemotherapy kills cancer cells. This is explained in the article How Ivermectin Reduces Cancer Chemotherapy Resistance.
