Prostate Cancer Hormonal Therapy


Research Notes on Prostate Cancer Hormonal Therapy


Prostate cancer hormonal therapy is also called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or androgen suppression therapy. Androgens (male hormones) feed prostate cancers. Hormone therapy lowers the levels of the testosterone and angrogens to prevent their production. Unfortunately not all of the cancerous cells die, and in time, the cancer returns. Hormone therapy does not cure prostate cancer.
