- Prostate CancerOncologists use hormone therapy to treat certain cancers that grow by feeding off the body’s natural hormones. The therapy usually involves blocking those hormones from interacting with the cancer cells or stopping the body from producing the hormones that nourish the cancer’s growth. Hormone therapy can also reduce symptoms in men with prostate cancer who cannot be treated by surgery or radiation. This type of therapy is most often used as a secondary, or adjuvant, therapy to help reduce the risk of the cancer coming back after surgery. It can also be used to decrease the size of a tumor before radiation or surgery, in which case it is called a neo-adjuvant therapy. It can also be used to treat cancer that has spread.
