Abstract
Background: Cancer is a global problem and causes lots of deaths across the world. Due to the high cost of manufacturing and developing new drugs, there is more willingness to use medications that may have anti-neoplastic effects.

Methods: In this study, the effects and mechanisms of several antipsychotic drugs on different types of cancer were investigated. Conducting Research Literature Reviews, some antipsychotic drugs can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and some others can be used to ease the symptoms caused by cancer.
Results: Certainly, the anticancer effects of all antipsychotic drugs haven’t been thoroughly investigated and it is reported that few drugs may reverse the effects and increase the risk of neoplasm.
