Hormone therapy in Neolife Medical Center
About the clinic
Hormone therapy at Neolife Medical Center in Istanbul, Turkey, uses drugs to block hormone effects or reduce hormone production. The JCI-accredited center reviews each case through a multidisciplinary tumor board.
When hormone therapy may be used
This treatment is used for hormone-sensitive cancers, including hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and some prostate cancers. It may also suit selected cases of endometrial or ovarian cancer. Doctors may consider it for patients who cannot have surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation because of age or health conditions.
Hormone therapy may follow surgery or radiation to help prevent cancer from returning. It may also shrink a tumor before surgery or control cancer growth in advanced disease. In some treatment plans, it is combined with chemotherapy or radiation.
Medicines and monitoring
The drug choice depends on the cancer and the patient’s situation. Options include tamoxifen and other selective estrogen receptor modulators, aromatase inhibitors, anti-androgens, and LH-RH agonists or antagonists.
Treatment may come as tablets, injections, or implants. Injections may be given monthly, quarterly, or every three months. Regular visits and lab tests track hormone levels, tumor response, and side effects. The team can adjust care to manage side effects.
Hormone therapy generally has fewer side effects than chemotherapy, though effects vary by patient and medicine. Neolife offers a medical evaluation within 24–48 hours after receiving medical reports.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to learn whether hormone therapy may fit their diagnosis.
