Hormone therapy

Hormone therapy or hormonal therapy is the use of hormones in medical treatment. Treatment with hormone antagonists may also be referred to as hormonal therapy or antihormone therapy. The most general classes of hormone therapy are oncologic hormone therapy and hormone replacement therapy, of which there are various kinds (e.g., for menopause, for andropause, or for gender transition).

Indications

Hormonal therapy for cancer
- Androgen deprivation therapy for men with prostate cancer
- Estrogen deprivation therapy for women with breast cancer
Hormone replacement therapy
- Hormone replacement therapy (menopause) for menopausal women
- Androgen replacement therapy in males with low levels of testosterone due to disease or aging
- Hormone replacement therapy (transgender)
  - Hormone replacement therapy (female-to-male) in sex reassignment therapy for trans men
  - Hormone replacement therapy (male-to-female) in sex reassignment therapy for trans women
- Hormone replacement therapy for people with intersex conditions (e.g., Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome)
Growth hormone treatment for growth hormone deficiency
Thyroid hormone replacement in hypothyroidism
Glucocorticoid and/or mineralocorticoid replacement in conditions such as Addison's disease
Chemical castration of men with undesired paraphilias or hypersexuality and/or violent sex offenders
