Hormone Therapy

Hormone Therapy

Controlling Cancer Growth Through Hormonal Balance

Hormone therapy (also called endocrine therapy) is a cancer treatment that works by blocking or reducing the levels of certain hormones that fuel cancer growth. Many cancers — such as breast, prostate, and some gynecological cancers — depend on hormones like estrogen or testosterone to grow and spread. By disrupting this hormone supply, we can slow down or even shrink tumors.
  1. Specialized Expertise
    Experienced in treating hormone-driven cancers such as breast, prostate, uterine, and ovarian cancers.

  2. Personalized Treatment Planning
    Every patient undergoes a thorough hormone-receptor and tumor biology analysis.

  3. Combination Approach
    Hormone therapy can be paired with surgery, radiation, targeted therapy, or chemotherapy for maximum benefit.

  4. Focus on Quality of Life
    Our aim is to manage cancer while minimizing side effects and maintaining daily comfort.

  1. Hormone-Blocking Medications – Drugs like tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors that prevent hormones from binding to cancer cells.

  2. Hormone-Suppressing Injections – Reduce the production of hormones in the body, such as LHRH agonists for prostate cancer.

  3. Surgical Hormone Removal – Procedures like oophorectomy (removal of ovaries) or orchiectomy (removal of testes) to eliminate hormone sources.

  4. Combined Modality Therapy – Hormone therapy used alongside robotic or minimally invasive surgeries for enhanced outcomes.

Benefits of Hormone Therapy

  1. Can slow or stop cancer growth

  2. Often effective even in advanced or recurrent cases

  3. Can reduce the risk of cancer returning after primary treatment

  4. May be used long-term for cancer control
