Prostate cancer: The growth of prostate cancer is aided by male hor-mones, which as a group are called androgens. Anti-hormone therapy isused to slow the growth of metastatic prostate cancer. Anti-hormonetherapy includes suppressing the release of male hormones using high doses of female hormones (estrogens), hormone-suppressing drugs, andanti-androgens to block androgen receptors. Or the testicles are removedto eliminate the major source of androgens. If prostate cancer is confined to the prostate, surgical removal of the gland or radiotherapy is usuallythe best treatment.
