article one:Front Oncol. 2021 Apr 29;11:670804. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2021.670804 Repositioning of Antiparasitic Drugs for Tumor Treatment. table here is a summary
Antitumor mechanism of antiparasitic drugs us symmarized in the table
another article here on ivermectin. Ivermectin induces apoptosis and autophagy is mutually regulated. Interestingly, ivermectin can also inhibit tumor stem cells and reverse multidrug resistance and exerts the optimal effect when used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs.

one is reminded of the HIV treatment problems in the Dallas Buyer's Club.
