Ivermectin and other anti-parasitic agents have shown good results IN VITRO (petri dish) in terms of decreased cancer markers, metabolites, etc.
However, no double blind studies have been done ( that I know of) in human trials.
So putting Ivermectin in a culture dish with cancer cells and watching them wither, would be no different than using alcohol, bleach or formaldehyde….they would work too, but would you want to use those as well?
Right now your best bet is to stick with what works; too many have been harmed - or died- from pursuing unproven methods either from the method itself OR from wasting all that time avoiding traditional treatment.

I agree with @heavyphil. It's a long road from "we saw promising results in vitro" to "here's the the exact formulation, dose, and frequency that's been proven to help humans in these specific prostate-cancer situations (but not others)". The vast majority of promising early results never make it all the way to becoming clinical treatments.
To be blunt, anyone giving you Invermectin to treat prostate cancer in 2025 may be using you as a human guinea pig to prove (or disprove) a pet theory. In 2030 or 2035, who knows? (But even if it happens, it would probably be a different dose or formulation than you'd be getting now, and might still need to be combined with other treatments to be effective.)
