Hormone Therapy at Medwise Hospital
Hormone therapy is a specialized cancer treatment that targets cancers fueled by hormones, such as certain types of breast and prostate cancer. By blocking or lowering the levels of specific hormones in the body, hormone therapy can slow or stop the growth of these cancers. At Medwise Hospital, we offer advanced hormone therapy options as part of our comprehensive cancer care, ensuring personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Advanced Hormone Therapy Options at Medwise Hospital
We offer a variety of hormone therapy options, including:
- Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): These drugs block estrogen receptors on breast cancer cells, preventing the hormone from promoting tumor growth.
- Aromatase Inhibitors: These medications lower estrogen levels by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which is involved in estrogen production, particularly in postmenopausal women.
- Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) Agonists: Used in prostate cancer, these drugs reduce testosterone levels by signaling the body to stop producing the hormone.
- Androgen Receptor Inhibitors: These drugs block testosterone from binding to prostate cancer cells, slowing or stopping their growth.
At Medwise Hospital, our goal is to provide the highest standard of cancer diagnosis and care. By utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques and a compassionate approach, we strive to give our patients the best chance for a successful outcome.
