Hormone Therapy
Types of hormone therapy
Hormone therapy falls into two broad groups, those that block the body’s ability to produce hormones and those that interfere with how hormones behave in the body.
Cancers treated with hormone therapy
Hormone therapy is used to treat prostate and breast cancers that use hormones to grow. Hormone therapy is most often used along with other cancer treatments. The types of treatment that you need depend on the type of cancer, if it has spread and how far, if it uses hormones to grow, and if you have other health problems.
How hormone therapy is used with other cancer treatments
When used with other treatments, hormone therapy can
- make a tumor smaller before surgery or radiation therapy (called neoadjuvant therapy)
- lower the risk that cancer will come back after the main treatment (called adjuvant therapy)destroy cancer cells that have returned or spread to other parts of your body.
Hormone therapy can cause side effects
Because hormone therapy blocks your body’s ability to produce hormones or interferes with how hormones behave, it can cause unwanted side effects. The side effects you have will depend on the type of hormone therapy you receive and how your body responds to it. People respond differently to the same treatment, so not everyone gets the same side effects. Some side effects also differ if you are a man or a woman.
