According to Pharmacol Res. 2020 Sep 21;163:105207., Ivermectin has powerful antitumor effects, including the inhibition of proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenic activity, in a variety of cancer cells. This may be related to the regulation of multiple signaling pathways by ivermectin through PAK1 kinase. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7505114/

According to Anticancer Res. Author manuscript; available in PMC: 2014 Feb 1, Fenbendazole had potential as an anticancer drug.

Overall, it is true that these drugs might be useful to fight cancer per academic research.
