Start with the cancer type — not the medicine name.
Finding a medicine on a cancer prescription can feel overwhelming. Browse the type of cancer below, or search for the medicine name exactly as it appears on the prescription.
We start with the prescription. This guide is for orientation only; a patient’s clinical team decides what treatment is appropriate.

Find the name from the prescription
Choose where the patient is located, then use a cancer type or search by the medicine name. We do not show prices or accept payment online.
No matching medicine in this focused guide. Contact the access team with the medicine name so we can help you find the right starting point.
Lung cancer
Some lung cancers are treated with tablets that target a specific change found in the cancer cells. The diagnosis, stage and test results—not a web page—guide the treating team’s choice.
Prostate cancer
Some prostate-cancer treatments are tablets that affect hormone signalling. A prescription may be part of a wider plan that includes injections, monitoring and other treatments.
Breast & ovarian cancer
Oral cancer medicines can be prescribed for particular breast or ovarian cancers. The exact choice can depend on the cancer’s features, earlier treatment and the clinician’s judgement.
Blood cancers & GIST
Some specialist tablets are used for blood cancers or gastrointestinal stromal tumours, often called GIST. These conditions are different, so the medicine name and diagnosis need to stay together.
