Endocrine Therapy Treatment in Yeshwanthpur

Hormones may sometimes fuel cancer. Endocrine therapy eliminates access of these hormones to the cancerous cells so they cannot grow. It focuses on not allowing these hormones to get to the cancerous cells. This will prevent the cancer from growing. This strategy has proven beneficial for managing certain cancers like breast, ovarian and uterine tumours, which thrive on estrogen, as well as prostate cancer cases.

Endocrine therapy works by

  • Cessation of hormone production so that the cancer cells cannot grow.  
  • Not allowing the hormones to reach the cancerous cells and fuel their growth and spread.
  • Changing the hormone’s composition so it does not function properly or act as it should.
  • Substitute the actual hormones with bioidentical hormones, which are lab-made and artificial. The cancer cells cannot use these artificial hormones for growing.

Endocrine therapy is usually administered as follows

  • Drugs like pills, capsules, or liquids are given orally through the mouth.   
  • Injections in the hip, arm, leg, intramuscular (IM), underneath the skin of the stomach, or subcutaneous injections.   
  • Surgical removal of the hormone-producing organs.

Endocrine therapy is a competent standalone treatment. It can also be combined with other cancer treatments for better outcomes.
