Focusing on hormonal balance to hinder malignancy.
Hormone Therapy
Hormone therapy is vital for cancers fueled by naturally occurring hormones, including certain breast and prostate variants. Dr. Naresh Gundu crafts personalized protocols that lower hormone levels or inhibit their activity, effectively starving the cancer to prevent its spread.
How Hormones Affect Cancer
- Malignant cells often utilize hormones like estrogen or testosterone to facilitate rapid division. These cells possess receptors that trigger growth. By disrupting these receptors or removing the hormone source, we effectively halt or significantly slow the tumor's progression.
In essence, this therapeutic approach deprives cancer of the biological fuel required for reproduction, offering a focused treatment method that yields high success for specific diagnoses.
Cancers Treated with Hormone Therapy
Breast Cancer
Applied in receptor-positive cases to prevent estrogen from stimulating tumor expansion.
Prostate Cancer
Reduces levels of androgens to impede the growth of hormone-sensitive prostate malignancies.
Endometrial Cancer
Vitals for treating specific uterine cancers that react to shift in the body's hormones.
Rare Sensitive Tumors
Particular rare tumors respond well to clinical regulation of hormonal pathways and receptors.
Your regimen is determined by comprehensive pathology and specific hormone receptor testing results.
