It isn't used as treatment for any cancer. It's used for anxiety DISORDERS. The stress of everyday life does not qualify for its use, but I can see it being used for severe anxiety that comes with the stress of having cancer, BUT can not see justification in it being used in an end of life treatment.

Meprobamate has no anticancer use but it is given as anxiolytic in last stage cancer. MEPROBAMATE (Equanil®, Miltown®, Trancot®) has a sedative action that can cause relaxation and help reduce tension or anxiety. It is recommended for short-term use only. Meprobamate is sometimes used as a sedative before surgical procedures. Federal law prohibits the transfer of meprobamate to any person other than the patient for whom it was prescribed. Generic meprobamate tablets are available.
