Frequently Asked Questions

The duration of hormone therapy for prostate cancer varies depending on the individual case. In some cases, it may be given for a few months or years, while in others, it may be used indefinitely.
The effectiveness of hormone therapy depends on the individual case. Luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, anti-androgens, androgen receptor blockers, and estrogen therapy are all used in prostate cancer treatment.
Hormone therapy for prostate cancer reduces the level of male hormones in the body, which can slow down the growth of prostate cancer cells. It may involve injections, pills, or surgery to remove the testicles.
There are several new hormonal agents used for prostate cancer, including abiraterone, enzalutamide, and apalutamide.
The types of hormone therapy used for prostate cancer include luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, anti-androgens, androgen receptor blockers, and estrogen therapy.
Hormone therapy can be given in several ways, including injections, pills, or surgery to remove the testicles (orchiectomy).
The duration of hormone therapy for prostate cancer depends on the stage and severity of the cancer, as well as the individual patient's response to treatment. In some cases, hormone therapy may be given for several months or years, while in other cases, it may be used for the remainder of a man's life.
Hormone therapy is not a cure for prostate cancer, but it can help to decrease the rate of growth of the cancer cells and relieve symptoms.
Hormone therapy works by reducing the level of male hormones in the body, which can slow the growth of prostate cancer cells. In contrast, chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells directly. While both treatments may be used for prostate cancer, they have different mechanisms of action and may be used in different stages of the disease.
Hormone therapy can be effective in managing cancer and prolonging life, but it is not a cure.
The choice of treatment for prostate cancer depends on the stage of the cancer, the age and health of the patient, and other individual factors. Both radiation therapy and hormone therapy can be effective in treating prostate cancer, and the most appropriate treatment plan should be determined by a healthcare provider.
Hormone therapy for cancer can have several side effects, including hot flashes, fatigue, decreased sex drive, and erectile dysfunction. It may also increase the risk of certain health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
The safety of hormone therapy for prostate cancer depends on the individual patient and their overall health. Hormone therapy can be used long-term if it is effective and well-tolerated by the patient. However, there may be an increased risk of certain health problems with long-term use.
The side effects of hormone therapy for prostate cancer can include hot flashes, fatigue, decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, breast enlargement or tenderness, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, and osteoporosis.

After hormone therapy, PSA levels may decrease significantly. However, the level of PSA after treatment depends on the individual patient and the stage of the cancer. A healthcare provider can monitor PSA levels and determine the effectiveness of the treatment.
