Cancer treatment options
Cancer is a broad group of conditions rather than a single illness, and treatment options vary considerably by cancer type, stage, hormone status and the goals of care. This category helps customers identify medicines used in cancer treatment while keeping the treatment decision with an authorised prescriber and oncology team.
What types of medicines may be used in cancer treatment?
Depending on the condition, cancer care may involve surgery, radiotherapy, systemic medicines or combinations of these approaches. Systemic treatments can include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted medicines and immunotherapies. These approaches have different purposes and are not interchangeable: the appropriate option depends on the diagnosed cancer and clinical assessment.
How does hormone therapy fit into cancer care?
Hormone therapy is used for cancers that depend on hormones to grow, particularly some breast cancers. Aromatase inhibitors are an established hormone-therapy group used in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, often as part of longer-term treatment planning. They are distinct from chemotherapy and are not suitable for every type of cancer or every person with breast cancer.
Which cancer medicine do we list?
We list Arimidex, containing anastrozole, as a 1 mg film-coated tablet. The packs we offer contain 30, 60 or 90 tablets. Prices start from A$240.16, while the 90-tablet pack is A$547.20 and has the lowest listed price of A$6.08 per tablet. The tablet form may be a practical consideration for customers whose prescriber has selected oral hormone therapy.
What should Australian customers know before choosing?
In Australia, anastrozole is a Schedule 4 Prescription Only Medicine, so a prescription from an authorised prescriber is required. Arimidex 1 mg tablets containing anastrozole are registered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. Registration and prescription requirements are separate from what we list: our category contains this one anastrozole option, not a complete range of cancer treatments. Confirm that the prescribed medicine, strength and pack quantity match your prescription before ordering.
