Abstract

Hormone therapy is a targeted treatment approach for breast cancer that leverages the relationship between hormones like estrogen and progesterone and the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells. This therapy aims to block or lower hormone levels in the body, thereby slowing or stopping the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancers. This article explores the role of hormone therapy in breast cancer treatment, detailing its uses, drugs, mechanisms, administration, preparation, effectiveness, and the challenges associated with its side effects. It is designed to provide patients, families, and caregivers with a clear understanding of this critical treatment option, helping them navigate the journey with confidence and clarity.
