荷爾蒙治療的定義 – 安健腫瘤治療中心荷爾蒙治療的定義

What is hormone therapy?

Hormones are chemicals produced by glands, such as the ovaries and testicles.

Hormones help some types of cancer cells to grow, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer. In other cases, hormones can kill cancer cells, make cancer cells grow more slowly, or stop them from growing.

Hormone therapy as a cancer treatment may involve taking medications that interfere with the activity of the hormone or stop the production of the hormones. Hormone therapy may involve surgically removing a gland that is producing the hormones.
