What is Hormone Therapy?
Hormone therapy uses medications or surgery to block or lower the effect of hormones that fuel certain cancers, most commonly hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and prostate cancer. It is used as a primary treatment, alongside surgery/radiation, or to reduce recurrence risk, and can be delivered as daily oral tablets, periodic injections, or surgical hormone ablation. GAF Healthcare connects patients with leading Indian oncologists offering evidence-based hormone therapy protocols with close monitoring and significant cost savings compared to Western countries.
Who may be considered?
Hormone Therapy may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Daily oral medication that blocks estrogen receptors or lowers estrogen production, used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, typically for 5-10 years with periodic monitoring.
Oral Hormone Therapy (Tamoxifen / Aromatase Inhibitors) – Breast Cancer
Most CommonDaily oral medication that blocks estrogen receptors or lowers estrogen production, used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, typically for 5-10 years with periodic monitoring.
Comprehensive Investigations
Hormone receptor (ER/PR/HER2) testing, CBC, liver function tests (LFT), bone density scan (DEXA), pelvic ultrasound, mammogram
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Stay in India
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Oncologist consultation
- Baseline lab and imaging review
- Medication prescription and initiation
- Treatment plan documentation
- Care coordinator support
Usually Not Included
- Ongoing medication supply after leaving India
- Long-term DEXA/imaging follow-up abroad

Recovery and follow-up
Oral and injectable hormone therapies are typically continued for months to years with follow-up every 3-6 months to monitor hormone levels, bone density, and side effects, while surgical hormone ablation requires about 1-2 weeks of physical recovery before resuming normal activities.
Risks
Common risks include hot flashes, fatigue, mood changes, reduced bone density, and increased cardiovascular or blood clot risk with long-term hormone therapy; surgical ablation carries standard surgical risks such as bleeding or infection and is irreversible.
Alternatives
Alternatives include chemotherapy, targeted therapy (e.g., HER2-directed agents), radiation therapy, definitive surgery (mastectomy or radical prostatectomy), or active surveillance for select low-risk cases.
