Endocrine therapy — also called hormone therapy — works by lowering hormone levels or blocking their effect on cancer cells that rely on hormones to grow. It is a cornerstone of treatment for hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer and androgen-sensitive prostate cancer. At our centre, endocrine therapy is always chosen after thorough receptor testing (ER, PR, AR status) and is integrated seamlessly with other treatment modalities when required. Dr. Joshi guides you through the appropriate duration of therapy, helps manage long-term side effects such as bone density changes and menopausal symptoms, and arranges regular monitoring to detect any early signs of resistance or recurrence.
