Hormone Therapy

About This Treatment

Hormone therapy is a type of cancer treatment that works by changing or blocking the natural hormones that certain cancers depend on to grow. Some cancers, when hormone sensitive, use hormones as signals to grow or spread. Hormone therapy may lower hormone levels in the body, block hormones from reaching cancer cells, or prevent cancer cells from reacting to those hormones. When testing shows that a tumor is hormone sensitive, hormone therapy can help slow or stop cancer growth, reduce the risk of recurrence, or shrink a tumor before other treatments. Hormone therapy may be used alone or combined with treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapies, depending on each patient’s diagnosis and overall care plan.

Depending on your specific situation, hormone therapy may be given as pills, injections, or through other delivery methods. Your care team will determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate, select the right approach for your cancer type, and monitor your response closely while helping manage any side effects.
