Is Ivermectin used to treat colon cancer?

Research is limited, but several studies are already showing that ivermectin has great potential as an anticancer drug for human colorectal cancer. For example, a 2021 study out of Henan University in China evaluated the application of ivermectin on colon cancer proliferation. The results were that ivermectin inhibited the proliferation of colon cancer cells by arresting the tumor cell cycle. It also changed the structure of the cells, making them weaker while also inducing apoptosis.
