WHAT TOOKAD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
TOOKAD is a medicine that contains padeliporfin (as potassium salt).
It is used to treat adult men
who have low-risk, localised prostate cancer in only one lobe, using a
technique called
Vascular-Targeted Photodynamic (VTP) therapy. The treatment is carried
out under general
anaesthetic (medicines that send you to sleep to prevent pain and
discomfort).
Hollow needles are used to insert the fibres into the right place in
the prostate. Once it has been given,
TOOKAD has to be activated by laser light shone along a fibre that
targets the light onto the cancer.
The activated medicine then causes the death of the cancer cells.
