Information for the public
Padeliporfin (Tookad) is not normally available on the NHS for untreated, unilateral, low-risk prostate cancer in adults. Your doctor should talk with you about other treatment options. If you are already taking it, you should be able to continue until you and your doctor decide when best to stop.
