Treatment Hormone therapy
Hormone treatments are treatments using natural body chemicals called hormones, or drugs that block hormones. Hormones are chemicals made in one part of the body, that travel in the bloodstream to make something happen in another part of the body. Some cancer cells need hormones to grow, or are encouraged to grow more quickly by hormones. These cancers are said to be 'hormone sensitive' or 'hormone dependent'. They include
Breast cancer
Prostate cancer
Uterine (womb) cancer
Ovarian cancer
Hormone treatments are also sometimes used for kidney cancer, thyroid cancer or melanoma.
