Some peer-reviewed studies have found potential in fenbendazole, a dog deworming drug, in treating human cancer. But it’s not FDA-approved and there is no proof it’s a cure.
But researchers have also urged caution.that a "fenbendazole scandal" originated with Tippens’ claim and was amplified when fenbendazole was touted by a South Korean celebrity, who later disavowed the drug. Tippens’ cure likely was because of his participation in the clinical trial for the cancer drug Keytruda, but South Korean cancer patients ignored warnings about fenbendazole and took it widely, the article said.
Responding to the Facebook claim, two federal agencies told PolitiFact that fenbendazole is not approved for human cancer treatment. The Food and Drug Administration said fenbendazole is an active ingredient in multiple FDA-approved drugs"that are intended for the treatment and control of internal parasites in certain animals."
