Overview of Cancer | Treatment Options| Hormone Therapy

Hormone Therapy is used against certain cancers that depend on hormones for their growth. Hormone therapy keeps cancer cells from receiving or using the hormones they need. This treatment may include the use of drugs that stop the production of certain hormones or may change the way they work. Another type of hormone therapy is surgery to remove organs (such as the ovaries or testicles) which produce hormones.
