Hormone ablation therapy, also known as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), is a common treatment approach for prostate cancer, especially in cases where the cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland or is at high risk of recurrence. Prostate cancer cells often rely on the male hormone testosterone to grow and spread. By reducing the levels of testosterone in the body or blocking its effects, hormone therapy aims to slow down or stop the growth of prostate cancer cells.
