Is ivermectin good for cancer?

My uncle has cancer and someone in our family WhatsApp group shared a forward about ivermectin curing it. I'm just wondering if there's any truth to this. Is it actually good for cancer, or just a rumour?

Cancer treatment is very specialized and expensive, with many tests and specific medicines. Ivermectin is not known as a cancer treatment, it's for other issues. Please don't waste time or money on unproven remedies. Always go with what oncologists recommend.

Haye Ram, if only cancer treatment was as simple as taking one medicine! Then nobody would suffer so much. Ivermectin is definitely not for cancer. For something as serious as cancer, you need top doctors and proper hospital care, no shortcuts.

Ivermectin is for parasitic infections. Cancer treatment requires very specific, well-researched medical approaches. While a healthy, balanced diet (preferably vegetarian) can support overall health during treatment, medicine for cancer has to be prescribed by an oncologist. Please do not rely on anything else.

Bete, cancer is a very serious disease. It needs proper medical attention from doctors who specialize in it. Ivermectin is not for cancer. Please do not trust every remedy you hear about. Always go to the hospital for such conditions.

I understand the desperation to find solutions for something as terrifying as cancer. It's natural to look for anything that might help. However, Ivermectin is not a recognized treatment for cancer, and using it for this purpose could be dangerous. Please discuss all treatment options with a qualified oncologist.
