About the offer

Ovarian cancer treatment with hormonal therapy is performed with specific medications that block the release of certain hormones. Unfortunately, estrogens play a significant role in the development of ovarian tumors. So, oncologists decided to use various medications, including aromatase inhibitors, estrogen receptor blockers, and Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, as a treatment method. Certain types of ovarian cancer showed successful results in response to hormonal therapy. In most cases, hormonal therapy is a part of combined treatment for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Still, some patients with stromal ovarian cancer might be eligible for hormonal therapy as a single treatment method. Hormonal therapy prevents estrogens from reaching tumor cells by blocking specific receptors or decreasing the release of certain chemical substances. As a result, it prevents ovarian cancer from further development and growth. Primarily, medications for hormonal therapy are delivered via intravenous infusions, but sometimes oral forms also might be prescribed. One procedure might take up to a few hours. Each course of hormonal therapy includes several intravenous infusions spreading over up to 4 weeks. Mostly, patients require up to 8 courses of hormonal treatment to get some results.
