When combined with a targeted lung cancer drug, it helped slow the growth of tumors that had stopped responding to treatment in a study involving mice. The findings, published in PLOS ONE, raise an intriguing possibility for researchers …

Now, scientists investigating drug-resistant lung cancer have uncovered an unexpected possibility involving mebendazole, a medicine commonly used to treat parasitic worm infections. When researchers combined it with a targeted cancer …
