Hormone therapy, also called endocrine therapy or hormonal therapy, is a treatment that aims to alter hormone levels in the body to help treat or ease symptoms of diseases like breast cancer, prostate cancer, menopause symptoms, and more. There are a few main types of hormone therapy including estrogen therapy, androgen deprivation therapy, thyroid hormone replacement, and more. Hormone treatment plans are tailored to the individual patients based on factors like medical history and specific condition. “The goal of hormone therapy varies depending on the medical condition being treated,” said Dr. Sarah Kim, an endocrinologist.
Hormones act as chemical messengers in the body to regulate many bodily functions. In hormone therapy, medications and treatments are used to adjust hormone levels to achieve health benefits like slowing or stopping cancer growth, easing menopause symptoms, regulating metabolism and growth, and more. For example, in breast cancer the hormones estrogen and progesterone can promote tumor growth - so hormone therapy may block estrogen receptors or lower estrogen levels. Thyroid hormones control metabolism - thyroid hormone treatment replaces these hormones when the thyroid gland does not produce enough. "We prescribe hormone medications to mimic natural hormone levels and actions," said Dr. Amir Singh, an oncologist.
There are potential side effects with any medical treatment, and hormone therapy does come with some risks. Common side effects depend on the specific hormones used - estrogen therapy can lead to bloating, breast tenderness, nausea; testosterone therapy may cause acne, hair loss. More serious risks exist too like blood clots, stroke, heart disease with some therapies. Your medical team will monitor for side effects and adjust treatment based on your response. “We work to provide the benefits of treatment while minimizing risks for the patient’s unique case,” said Nurse Laura Jones.
Hormone therapy can be given in different ways including orally like tablets, topically via gels/creams, through injections or implants, or using skin patches. Your doctor will decide the best delivery method depending on the condition, required hormone doses, treatment duration, and other medical considerations. “There are good options for giving customized hormone therapy in safe, effective ways today,” said Pharmacist Brett Davis.
The length of hormone therapy varies widely and depends on aspects like: the specific medical condition, treatment goals, how the body responds, side effect risk factors, and more. It may be short-term like thyroid hormone replacement after surgery, or longer lasting like years of hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Doctors will determine together with each patient the ideal hormone treatment duration. “Treatment plans are individualized and reassessed over time to provide optimal health,” said Dr. Priya Sharma, an endocrinologist.
