Received Date: Nov 02, 2024 / Published Date: Nov 30, 2024
Abstract
Hormone therapy, also known as endocrine therapy, is a medical treatment that uses hormones or hormone- blocking drugs to treat various health conditions, particularly hormone-related cancers like breast, prostate, and endometrial cancer. By manipulating hormone levels in the body, hormone therapy can slow or stop the growth of certain types of cancer that rely on hormones such as estrogen and testosterone for growth. In addition to cancer treatment, hormone therapy is used to manage symptoms of menopause, gender-affirming care, and other medical conditions. This article explores the mechanisms, types, uses, benefits, side effects, and considerations of hormone therapy, highlighting its importance in modern medicine.
