Oral cancer drugs: Medicare helps pay for some oral cancer drugs you take by mouth if the same drug is available in injectable form or is a prodrug of the injectable drug. A prodrug is an oral form of a drug that when ingested breaks down into the same active ingredient found in the injectable form of the drug. As new oral cancer drugs become available, Part B may cover them.
