Biological Hormone Therapy

Biological Hormone Therapy-also known as endocrine therapy-is used to treat cancers that depend on hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone for growth. Key applications include hormone receptor‑positive breast cancer and prostate cancer. Treatment may involve oral medications, injections, implants, or surgical removal of hormone-producing organs (e.g. oophorectomy, orchiectomy). Therapy is administered over months or years-often combined with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy. Side effects vary: tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors may cause hot flashes, bone density loss, fatigue; androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer can cause muscle loss or metabolic changes. \n\nIndia is a leading destination for hormone therapy, offering world-class care at affordable prices-often as part of integrated cancer treatment packages. Large cancer centers deliver multidisciplinary care with experienced oncologists and holistic patient support.
