Why Are LHRH Agonists and Antagonists Used in Cancer Treatment?
Hormone-sensitive cancers, such as prostate cancer and some types of breast cancer, rely on sex hormones to grow and proliferate. By reducing the levels of these hormones, LHRH agonists and antagonists can effectively slow down or halt the progression of these cancers. This form of treatment is often referred to as hormonal therapy or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
