What if some of the most promising cancer-fighting tools weren’t new drugs — but medications that have been around for decades?

At Cancer Expert MD, we believe in a comprehensive approach to cancer care. That includes exploring the science behind repurposed drugs — FDA-approved medications originally designed for other conditions — and integrating them into a personalized treatment plan for cancer patients.

Repurposed drugs aren’t experimental. They’re well-known medications with established safety records — now being studied for their potential anti-cancer properties.

 What Is Drug Repurposing in Cancer Care?

Drug repurposing means using approved medications for conditions outside their original purpose.

Why this matters for cancer care:

• Many of these drugs target pathways shared by cancer cells.
• They may disrupt cancer metabolism, growth, or immune evasion.
• They are often affordable, available, and safe when used correctly.

At Cancer Expert MD, we incorporate repurposed drugs based on advanced testing, scientific research, and individual patient needs.

 Repurposed Drugs We May Recommend in Integrative Cancer Care

Here are some of the most studied and promising repurposed medications we may use as part of a comprehensive cancer plan:

 Metformin (Anti-Diabetic)

• Action: Inhibits cancer’s energy metabolism and lowers insulin levels.
• Benefit: May slow tumor growth, especially in breast, colon, and pancreatic cancers.

 Doxycycline (Antibiotic)

• Action: Targets cancer stem cells and disrupts mitochondrial function.
• Benefit: Helps prevent recurrence by attacking the cancer cells most resistant to treatment.

 Mebendazole (Anti-Parasitic)

• Action: Blocks cell division and angiogenesis in cancer cells.
• Benefit: Shown to suppress tumor growth in various cancer models.

 Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) (Opioid Modulator)

• Action: Modulates the immune system and reduces inflammation.
• Benefit: Supports immune surveillance against cancer cells.

 Ivermectin (Anti-Parasitic)

• Action: Interferes with cancer cell signaling and mitochondrial processes.
• Benefit: Shown potential in studies on breast, prostate, and glioma cancers.

 Fenbendazole (Anti-Parasitic)

• Action: Disrupts microtubule formation, impairing cancer cell division.
• Benefit: Gaining interest for its potential anti-cancer properties, especially in combination with other therapies.

 Hydroxychloroquine (Anti-Malarial/Autoimmune Modulator)

• Action: Inhibits autophagy — a survival mechanism cancer cells use under stress.
• Benefit: May enhance the effects of chemotherapy and slow resistance development.

 How We Select the Right Repurposed Drugs

At Cancer Expert MD, we base our decisions on:

• Genomic Testing — To identify mutations linked to drug sensitivity.
• Chemo-Sensitivity Testing — To see how your actual tumor cells respond.
• Cancer Stem Cell & CTC Testing — To guide decisions on resistance and metastasis.

We never guess. Every recommendation is based on data and your unique cancer profile.

 How Repurposed Drugs Fit into Integrative Oncology

Repurposed drugs work best when used with:

• Standard Cancer Treatments — Chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy.
• Natural Support Therapies — Immune-boosting compounds, metabolic therapies.
• Personalized Lifestyle Plans — Nutrition, exercise, and detoxification protocols.

This integrative approach gives you every advantage in fighting cancer.
