Hormone Therapy

Hormone Therapy as Treatment

Hormone therapy is considered mostly in prostate and breast cancers as different cancer cells have receptors that attach to estrogen in women and androgen in men to control the development and maintenance of female and male characteristics. Hormone therapy reaches cancer cells anywhere in the body – not just in the affected area – by administering drugs that use different ways of stopping the estrogen and androgen from attaching to the receptors in these sexual characteristics.

Hormone Therapy Side Effects

discussing hormone therapy side effects with cancer patient
Hormone therapy is most often used after surgeries to help reduce the risk of the cancer coming back or spreading to other parts of the body.  There are many different drugs that work as hormone therapeutics with which our medical oncologists are keenly familiar.
​
Each of the drugs available for hormone therapy present their own side effects and interactions with other aspects of treatment. Our specialists are well-practiced in considering all treatment types and side effects before discussing options with new patients so you’ll be confident in the treatment course you decide upon together.
