bithionol and Cancer of Ovary

bithionol has been researched along with Cancer of Ovary in 4 studies

Bithionol: Halogenated anti-infective agent that is used against trematode and cestode infestations.
bithionol : An aryl sulfide that is diphenyl sulfide in which each phenyl group is substituted at position 2 by hydroxy and at positions 3 and 5 by chlorine. A fungicide and anthelmintic, it was used in various topical drug products for the treatment of liver flukes, but withdrawn after being shown to be a potent photosensitizer with the potential to cause serious skin disorders.
