In Episode 81 of the Cancer Secrets podcast, Dr. Jonathan Stegall delves into the potential anticancer properties of two medications, mebendazole and fenbendazole, traditionally used to treat parasitic infections. He shares intriguing research findings, including observations by Dr. Gregory Riggins at Johns Hopkins University, highlighting mebendazole's ability to possibly slow or prevent cancer growth. Dr. Stegall discusses the mechanisms through which mebendazole may work, such as disrupting cell division and enhancing the immune response to cancer.

Despite their promise, both medications are considered off-label for cancer treatment, prompting a careful assessment of risks and benefits. Dr. Stegall shares successful case reports and his own experiences using mebendazole with patients, noting its safety and compatibility with other treatments. However, he emphasizes the need for supervision by a knowledgeable physician, preventing self-medication despite the compelling anecdotal evidence.
