Overview

Hormones play a significant role in the growth of certain cancers. Hormonal Therapy, also called endocrine therapy, works by blocking or lowering the amount of hormones in the body to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. At Mahanandan Super Speciality Hospital, Greater Noida, we provide advanced hormonal therapy as part of our cancer care, helping patients achieve effective treatment with minimal side effects and improved quality of life.

What is Hormonal Therapy?

Hormonal therapy is a cancer treatment that targets the body’s natural hormones, such as oestrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, which can fuel the growth of some cancers. This treatment is often given in the form of oral tablets, injections, or surgery to block hormone production or hormone receptors on cancer cells.

• Blocking hormone receptors on cancer cells
• Reducing the body’s ability to produce certain hormones
• Slowing or stopping hormone-dependent cancer growth

Hormonal therapy may be used alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy for a comprehensive treatment approach.

Cancers Treated with Hormonal Therapy

Hormonal therapy is effective for cancers where hormones significantly influence tumour growth. At Mahanandan Hospital, our oncologists personalise treatment plans based on hormone receptor testing and overall patient health.

• Breast cancer (oestrogen and progesterone receptor-positive)
• Prostate cancer (testosterone-driven)
• Ovarian cancer
• Endometrial (uterine) cancer
